there are three buttons left of the lightbulb at the top. Those are your onion skin buttons you can toggle to show transparent past or future frames to help you draw the frame you're working with
Well, when you preview the movie, it definitely should show everything within the camera box. To move that box around you have to create a peg and put the camera element under it. I'll demonstrate it in episode 6
Your blink is mechanical. The blink goes 3/4 closed on one frame, Hold closed two frames open 3/4 one frame, and open 1/4 one frame, back to full open. You want to open the eye slower than the close to make the timing more natural.
umm, not quite sure what you're asking in the first question and you can move the camera around once you have it under a peg and then animate or move the peg. I'll explain it better on week 6
Ash: We'll go ahead and make it 4 separated frames. Actually, let's make it 5 separated frames. Me: Do whatever you want. :) Ash: Eeeeeh- 4 separated frames. Me: Do whatever you want. :) Ash: Ok (Me waiting) Ash: 5 separated fr- OK we're doing 5 (Hehehe!) Me: (Replays it at 3:15) x6
I have animate pro 2 and it doesn't have that selection thing mentioned around 15:36 or at least it's not in the place yours is and I can't find it anywhere. Also, do you do separate layers for your drawings ( I.E: Eyes for one layer, lips for another and so on)? Thanks! Your tutorials have been very helpful for me to learn at least how to navigate and draw in this software ( much better than the lousy tut. that came with the program).
- do you use a picture for a whole scene so it saves from drawing the background frame after frame? - could you side scroll the a camera around the area?
Whats the difference between Toon Boom versions? I've heard that the animation version is more dedicated to create animation, and studio to create characters and scenarios, is that true or you can do everything on any version just with a little limitations?
I am doing an educational movie for school kids. Can Toon Boom handle interactive feed back. I mean can I stop the video and wait for the user to input a keyboard entry or mouse click and act accordingly? If not what program do I need? Thanks
Sadly Toon Boom alone, cannot work with action-script or or have interactivity. It's full on animation. I hate recommending flash, but this time adobe flash would be your software of choice, though be warned that interactivity does get a little technical in flash.
