Description
Finally! after about a week in the making I found time to make this. It is waaaaaayyyy better than all of my previous puppets that I've made and is sure to blow your socks off, but still could be made better, at least, I want to make it better, but for now, enjoy what I have for you! ^-^V1.2 updates: I just sharpened her mane and tail
*UPDATE of August 11, 2014*
V1.3 updates: new lip sync for the mouth, now in a switch file
*question*
does the mouth look too small? I can't really tell and would like other peoples opinion on the matter.

Thanks for sharing, interesting to see how other people make their rigs!
yep mouth looks a tad too small and the wing bone actions have issues.Β It could use some bone constrains but the smart bone action angle goes from 450 degrees to 630 over 13 frames, what the?Β shouldn't be too hard to fix.
I'd also fix the mouth so you could Interpolate sub-layers.
Something weird going on with the legs.Β Can't see why you would move the upper part of the leg within the action of the lower leg, its like the legs are pushing back when I try to move them.Β I'm using Moho 12

Hi, your Pupet is great, and after browsing in all internet i finally meeting someone else using Anime Studio. If given the time, I would like to pass on my deviant and tell me your opinions about my Pupets.

Hey there. I'm using AS as well, and Have a Fluttershy rig if you wish to use that. I also have some tutorials to help you make your own.
π: 0 β©: 2
Are the tutorials videos or typed out? If they're typed, that'd help me out like 923057x more.

THey're videos, unfortunately. Sorry!
π: 0 β©: 0
Thanks, and your tutorials really help me to make my rigs.

Well, I'm glad. Some of the videos I know got confusing at some parts (Especially when I fumbled around myself) but I'm glad they helped.

Odd, my Anime Studio says its a V5.5Β But it says that this is made from a newer version than what I have.

Thank goodness I found another person who uses Anime Studio. There is one too many puppet makers for Flash. This is the second puppet I have found for this program.
π: 0 β©: 2
yeah, I only know of a few who use anime studio. I'm just as greateful as you are to find another AS user
which version are you on?
π: 0 β©: 1
8, I believe. Just the standard, not Pro. AS is so useful, once you figure it out. I hope to make little animations of my fanfiction series The Silverfoc Chronicles once I fully comprehend the settings.
π: 0 β©: 2
oh yeah, thats cool. Yeah, I'm on 10 right now and I'm still trying to figure out how to use the new features to my full advantage to make the most awesome puppet rigs ever made. Its really confusing right now but I'm sure once I know what to do and how to do it'll be the best puppet rig to ever be made in AS. How long have you been using AS?
π: 0 β©: 1
Maybe about a month or two.
π: 0 β©: 1
Cool, I've got AS 9 pro over here, nice to meet you guys. Nice puppet, would advise using more anchor points on the mane and tail, also individual shapes for strands of hair coming off the main groups of hair.

Thanks for the tips. I have made some more rigs, there is a small folder in my gallery.Β

Have a terrible Fluttershy rig!

Gotta start somewhere.

I have a much better one up now.

another aspiring anime studio person. Sweet. So, do I just download the image? And make a bone rig from there? Or is there a download link I missed?
π: 0 β©: 1
download the zip file from the "Download" button to the right and after its downloaded, open the zip and the project should be right there
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep, a link I missed. Sorry about that. Do you have any other characters in the works yet? As detailed and workable as RD, anyways? I'll be trying to work on getting the hang of smart dials soon. If you ever wanted to do some collabs on animation, lemme know.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm almost done another one, one i hope will be better than this one. i plan on making each puppet better than the last one seeing as I'm still learning myself, because this is a really fun program to use
and I'll keep ya in mind for any future collabs
π: 0 β©: 1
Sounds good. I'm still trying to get better myself. I mean...if you took a look at it, my Fluttershy rig kind of sucks. I don't even know how to make the friggin outlines.

Hi Again, I found a problem about the Puppet while i was making a Walk Cycle. It's the Back Leg, they don't bend that way.
They Bend the Opposite rotation of the Front leg.
It's more like thisΒ prntscr.com/3263si ( see the Black lines )

hmm, I see. I'll do what I can to fix this problem, thank you for your feedback

Thanks for making this :3
I was looking for a Good puppets since last year XD
And i found it.
This will making me a Good Animating practice for me
I sent you the link when i'm done with it
π: 0 β©: 1
yay, looking forward to it
π: 0 β©: 1
Btw, The Puppet is Fantastic!
I Really Love how you made the Lip Movement and the Eyelips
You made Β it much easier for animating than Flash
Also, I do notice you made the tongue Pink. If i remember correctly.
My Little Pony tongue are Orange
Don't mine if i change it?
π: 0 β©: 1
thanks! thats the thing I love most about anime studio is the way you can rig the bone movements to your advantage.
and feel free to change the tongue colour
π: 0 β©: 0
I just looked at it and its preety decent, but the colours seem off to me to be honest
ncie use of smart bones, i havent really went into using it yet, the lip syncing set to a bone is a clever method, i think i will use that when i will be doing more serious things.
its not a sin, but the tail and mane outlines should have those sharp endings to look a bit better, it really adds a nice touch to it
π: 0 β©: 1
thanks for the overview ^-^ and yes, the tail and mane are a bit edgy because of how anime studio works in the way you draw it, I don't know how to get those sharp edges while keeping the same line width, but I'll try to find a way. Lip syncing I kind of rushed a bit, I forgot to add frowns or other expressions (my bad)
Any other questions or comments? I'm really curious as to how to improve, any feedback is important
and thanks agian
π: 0 β©: 1
your welcome
you can always make version 2.0 and so on
as for the sharp edges its a simple trick i have been using
just make a Β small V shape and reduce width
on the last point, after that it should look like this:
sta.sh/01nxc8xfvsoa
i have been using it for a preety long time and it still looks good to me

oh I see, thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to use that
