Moho Forum

After several months away from Anime Studio I thought I'd give a crack at it again. I understand it a little better now and will try to keep at it.

So here's a mug of beer with a foamy head. I'm just playing around with points and key frames at the moment and haven't really tried animating with bones yet. Oh I also took a crack at particles too, they did a pretty good job for the carbonation bubbles. I'm going to do a few more animations this way with out bones for a bit to get a better grasp of AS. I did find AS's drawing tools frustrating and think I'll try importing some Illustrator file for my next animation.

I watched your vids you posted 5 months ago, AS did what it was designed to do. Of course if you move a point to a line its going to snap to it unless you uncheck auto weld. I think that's covered in one of the 1st tutorials SM provides. Please do the tutorials before getting "frustrated"

NE ways, nice beer mug, It reminded me to get a refill as I was dry

I do the tutorials and then I get frustrated.

LOL I hear ya (it can be frustrating), AS is actually good software. This forum has put up with me for 8 months now and they actually go out of their way to help and explain the same things over and over. When I looked at your vid. about the distortion I knew exactly how you felt as I to got frustrated. But after a few months of watching youtube and forum videos made with AS I "get it now" a lot of the lingo they use makes since now.

I like what you have done. It is simple and interesting way to learn the tool. Keep it up.

PS
I've been doing some particle effects for my portfolio so I may steal your idea. But I'm working on water ripples right now.

Don't steal it! Just use it! This forum is here to help and better each other right?

Yes the forum is. Didn't mean steal in a bad way. It was very inspiring.
