Hello!

I'm newbie and now I do this method:

First, I draw my characters with pencil in a paper.
Second, I scan this image and then I import and image layer and draw on with AS

Now I want to do my backgrounds but I don't know how do this.

Which program you recommend for this task?

Thanks!

Hola!

Soy nuevo en el mundo de las animaciones y ahora que ya tengo hechos mis personajes me gustaria realizar los fondos de la animación. Los personajes los hacia escaneando una imagen dibujada a lapiz e importandola como image layer y usar después como plantilla.

Con que programa me recomendais que haga los fondos?

Muchas gracias!

You could draw your backgrounds in AS the same way.

Or you could paint them in a paint program like Photoshop or The Gimp or something similar, save as JPG or PNG and import them into AS as an image layer.

I use AS for the backgrounds, but I save the different elements (trees, rocks, etc.) as individual files for later use. This way I can import and combine them to create new backgorunds.

Yo uso AS para los fondos, pero guardo los diferentes elementos (árboles, rocas, etc.) para re-usarlos. De esta manera puedo importarlos y combinarlos para crear fondos nuevos.

Indeed, you can create background the same way you create your characters. They can either be vectors, still images or video clips.

Here is a small very rough example of a moving background and a character using images only:

Ok Thanks! The problem that I have when I draw a simple room and I see preview the image (Control+P) don't same that the background that I draw.

Gracias por vuestras respuestas! El problema que tengo cuando dibujo las líneas con el programa y luego hago la preview, las lineas no salen iguales. ¿Debo darle formato a cada cosa? ¿Si quiero dar formato a un rectangulo y que el grosor del borde sea el mismo, debo hacerlo a ojo o hay alguna opción mejor?

Muchas gracias!

Use Render (Control+R) instead of preview...

Ok thanks!

Control+P and Control+R is not the same?

No, previewing and rendering is not the same, and exporting a single frame with transparency is yet another thing, at least, in the Mac OS X version.

(In the Mac OS X version, if you render a frame with Command R and save as a PNG, BMP or Targa image, transparency will be incorrect. This is a know bug since Moho 5.3, and hasn't been removed yet.)
