Black and White

Here is yet another walk cycle I created using Anime Studio. I like the smooth fluid movement that I am able to get using this software.

ANIME STUDIO - 1st Walk Cycle

Yes I have purchased Anime Studio Pro 5! I have been using it for a few weeks now and may actually start doing all my animations with it. I like the ability to animate and keyframe vectors and I also find the bone rigging much simpler than Toon Booms Pegs. The thing I am struggling with is keeping the drawings smooth and not so bumpy looking. Again I am still new at it, so I'm sure I will pick up a lot more in time. So here is my first walk cycle, I really think that the animation looks a lot smoother using Anime studio, much more fluid, and natural.

I created this animated short a few months back. I had intended to do a few episodes and see if it took off. I used Toon Boom to create and animate the characters using pegs, as well as the lip sync feature. I guess I have started to develop a my own system for animating using Toon Boom. For the backgrounds I used some basic textures modified in Photoshop.
