Description
Alright, I decided to go back and try to make a better puppet rig after taking a long, detailed look at some other AS puppet rigs somepony else made. I think this one turned out pretty good, actually. Now, it's not perfect by any means, trust me. One might notice some weird shape bending with the eye smart bone dials. But I did the best I could and I'm actually pretty damn proud of how this turned out. Hopefully you guys like it, too. If you would like to make it better, you're free to edit it, so long as you send me the updated file
Update: I just noticed I completely forgot to put her Cutie Mark on her. I'll zip up the new one and change the file soon.

Anime Studio is so much simpler. I tried flash and I didn't understand anything. No good tutorials on it, either.

You there! Good Animator person! Where do you get this anime studio?

I'm not all that great of an animator 
I definitely wouldn't recommend pirate bay, especially if you can't afford it. Seriously, don't go to piratebay. Pirate bay won't have it for free, and it won't work. THat's not how I did it, so don't do it.

Do you mind if I ask a question? I have Anime Studio, but I believe I am rigging the characters wrong. When ever I add bones and attempt to "move" the image, it twists and bends along with the bones, producing an odd, almost rubbery image. The bones screw the picture over. What am I doing wrong?

Hey there.
I struggled with that, too, and I meant to make a tutorial, but I can't find any good recording software. What you're going to want to do is trace shapes over your figure. I don't know how to make it work other than that.
Then, this is important, use the "bind layer" tool, and bind your shapes to their corresponding bones. For example, bind the front left leg shape to the bone that controls that particular area. Bind the eyes, muzzle, etc onto the head bone.
Smith Micro has some good tutorials on the subject matter, and if I could ever get my stupid fuckin capture software to work, I'd have recorded a tutorial. Alas, I couldn't, and my turtle beaches broke.
If that doesn't help, you can add me on skype and I'd be glad to help walk you through it.

So I need to make separate Vector Layers for each body part? Is that the gist of it? And about the Bones....whats with the "Parent" bone and all that? It confuses me. Do the separate bones need to touch at the edges?Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, seperate vector layers for each body part. Very tedious, I know.
Parent bone refers to the bone a bone would be connected to. For example, you woul;d want your top leg bone to be connected to the body's maine bone. The neck connected to the body, the head connected to hte neck, etc. Bones don't need to touch.
What version of anime studio are you using?

8, I believe. I received it with my Wacom Manga tablet.
