I knew it!

Nice animation! It looks like those Lennys got on the business end of a Rube Goldberg machine.

Is Lenny Okay?

OK, a complete gravity engine ... and posted on April 1st ... I had a good laugh!

That is amazing!!

Actually I saw another video about gravity some days before april 1st and then I started to suspect something big is coming. You can check the video on the official anime studio facebook's group.

Er... I'm afraid I'm not following. :) Is this a hint that there will be gravity features in AS?

Well, gravity is among the least wanted features on my list.

Ok, here is the other video I saw

I think it is definetively a hint, more if it comes from Mike himself. I hope we could see soon how it works, I really love the colission detection of vectors and I have some ideas about using it with characters which would be like dynamic bones with stereoids.

I hope this is a new engine because I would go nuts trying to manually translate layers and manipulate bones in a animiation like this.

Yeah, I think it's because you are more in a traditional way to work. But some guys here (including me) like to experiment with AS features. If you think that gravity can only be used for balls and guys falling I think you are being too limited. It's a new tool and you can adapt the tool for your own needs, for new ideas probably Mike never thought (and actually that is what I love about AS, it's extremely flexible and never stop to surprise me).
Gravity never were on my list of features neither, but just because I never really thought how cool this could be, now, seeing this examples, I'm thinking about a lot of cool uses for my animations and that makes me very happy. I'm glad it is Mike (and not me or you) the guy who design this software.

After starting a new job i havent had chance to use AS that much but after seeing this i am defo going spare some time when i can get my hands on this

I saw “Lost Marble” the name, fondly remembers. From moho v2 start. Identical forum, identical group person, but the present has traded the name. The work is very good, Mike.
