Animate Lite: Is There a Thread or Video For Dummies?

franktuttle

Hi all!

I've searched Youtube and the forums, and come up dry on this. 

I load my figure. Zero her pose. I try to make her walk or gesture using Animate Lite. Parts of her move, but most of her stays in the T-pose. She sort of bends at the torso on 'bow' and her feet will move when a dance is selected. Walks will work, but still most of her is in the T pose.

I downloaded the free Sultry Walk and she does walk then, although her right index finger is extended in the classic profane gesture. Zeroing doesn't remove this. I believe she's telling me to stick to static poses.

Am I expecting too much? Not a big deal, just curious. I didn't expect animation to be easy, but I'm obviously missing some very basic concept here. 

Is there a very basic 'Here's how to make a figure perform very simple gestures' tutorial out there, one designed maybe for sign-language gorillas (my basic skill set)?

Anyway, thanks for reading.

Frank

Thanks! Aniblocks being figure-specific explains it.
