Patches Problem Update now with screenshots :D

Post by sillyanimate »

Hi, I am an Anime Studio Pro 8 User
I am trying to create a character and I need to hide seams like at joints such as arms or legs
But I notice sometimes:
after using pathes to hide seams
the most "weirdest" things happened
the patch is revealed when the an limb/layer goes over another layer
by the patch is revealed I mean that the it hide seams that want hidden and sometimes the blob appears when I move a limb on top or beneath another its shown :-(

Without examining the rig, I can only offer general advice. You'll never eliminate every possible weird overlap, but you can minimize them with careful planning. I suggest you follow the patch layer order found in the character wizard rig. Also, remember to keep the patch just big enough to cover the joint and layer bind to the correct bone.

You can animate layer order to fix the weird overlaps, but this can get confusing very quickly. Some thoughts here:
