My senior bought the "Essential" version of spine, while I'm quite new to this animation program I wanted to ask if it's possible to animate objects while they're on isometric view...

I'm trying to animate a "Windmill" but it's on isometric view so when i try to rotate the windmill...the perspective changes...


I tried animating it first on front perceptive then Shear it to look isometric.... but still no good...

Here's a GIF of the windmill... Please help me Q o Q)/

Erika, This may...err it's a stupid question but...Umm how make something like that? I download the file (even played with haha)
I'm really REALLY sorry but i don't know how to do it from...um step 1? (I'm really sorry but I'm new at this Q n Q)/ )

[Erika]

Oh, sure it must sound confusing. I spent some time understanding this too,
It's actually pretty easy:

1. you have 2 bones, one is child of the other.
2. you scale the parent bone, or skew, or whatever.
3. you rotate the child bone.

4. profit. And a nice cup of tea.

(I apologise if my explanation is not the best but I'm at work)

This is probably silly to you but it means a lot! AND I learned something about new on "bones"!!!! Thank you so much!!!

[Erika]

Erika,

Here it is~ It's not much but I'm happy how it turns out~!! ◝(●^꒳^●)◜


GASPS Is that so? AWW~Still thank you so much for helping~!!! ; v ;

I might as well ask is there tutorials on different animation techniques? (Youtube link or something haha )

[Erika]

Uhm if you mean the official documentation, they do have some playlists https://www.youtube.com/user/EsotericSoftware/playlists
if you mean if I have made tutorials, not yet, I might though not in English, (because there are lots in English already) but if you see something that interests you in here I can teach, sure: https://www.youtube.com/user/Erikari91

Awesome this is what I was looking for!
Nice windmill by the way .

Does everyone with an ES icon in their profile work for Esoteric Software?

[Erika]

Actually, yes! (I'm a very recent acquisition so if you spot some old messages where I say funny stuff it's because I had this account before too!)
Also since we're planning to start a new serie of tutorials more workflow-oriented now is the time to come up with suggestions (:

[AySkye]

Alright cool! Don't have any suggestions just yet. I'll be buying the Pro license by the end of the week. Should have some suggestions by then. I'd just use the trial to test out the extras but I don't think I can save anything with the trial so gonna wait til i get pro.
