    Thanks Ross! I wouldn't have thought about adding a "turn" to the body in this way unless i'd seen this. Little revelation with my morning coffee.

    This is cool man, subtle movement but really effective and a solid explanation, my only gripe is that kids might watch this and you swear too much.

    @MaangePeenge 7 лет назад

    What i the best workflow if you for example are animating to characters who are fighting?
    Doing it in pre comps doesn't seem like a very good idea to me.
    Should i just do it in one comp or is there a more forseeable way of doing it?
    - Thanks!

    Hello Ross! Awesome tutorial. Let's say I wanted to reuse my bear animation and change the bear to, let's say a rabbit. Is it possible to reuse the animation or do I have to reanimate it ? Thank you and keep up the good job!

    • @CloveriCat
      @CloveriCat 8 лет назад

      +Lucas Mendonca I believe if you have the same puppet pins you can just copy the frames and paste them in the corresponding place.
      Like so:
      Front arm layer
      -Position (you'll copy the general position frames of the layer)
      Puppet pin 1:
      -position (you'll copy the position frames of the first puppet pin)
      puppet pin 2:
      -rotation (you'll copy the rotation frames of the second puppet pin)
      And so forth
      I've done tha for simpler things, I don't know if it would work properly. And there might be an easier way. But you can try that and see how it goes
