I just started to watch your tutorials. They are very useful and thank you so much. Please upload more tutorials. 😊
For the spline tool, you can double left-click on the first point to close the shape.
Your videos are the most informative and easy to understand. I know most of the common tools, but never tried the width tool. Really useful. Thanks!!
Thanks for this informative video
Synfig Studio is under-rated software. On youtube after long search i have found out your channel to learn this software. Thanks a lot May God bless you. I wants to make animated videos and related projects on topics of biology, chemistry physics, accounts, taxation, english and various other subjects.
I'm happy that you find my tutorials useful :)
Hey ,i also want to do the same
@@YOWKhemardi I don't know how I did it but somehow there is 2 points on my circle except the central green one on left and right sides when I select the transform tool. I can no more change the size of my circle by selecting that one point in the circle which you showed in the video. What can I do?
@@Rozal2106 sorry I took so long to reply. I would say create a new circle and delete that one, but when you click on the circle tool, look over to the right area where it says "Circle Creation" and under that you should see "Layer Type" if you select only the first type which is shaped like a complete circle and deselect the others if they are selected and draw your circle, you will only get two points, but if you select the second "Layer Type" which is the region layer type, then you will get more points when you create your circle. Just remember that each layer type gives you different options
@@YOWKhemardi Thanks. That worked. But is there a way that instead of fully filled circle I get only the outlined one as we get when we select "create an outline layer" and still get that option to change its size?
thank you for tutorial, i really need it.
You made it easy 😭 thanks sir,god bless you
Very informative video
Thanks bro
thanks ! but... is there a tool to center? for example center the head of my character in the middle X in relation to the body
Thanks for the turorial, I just downloaded it. I'm used to Adobe suite, but I want to try open source programs too
How is It going now after 6 months?
Hello, really thanks for the video. Im still confused why i would need a rectangle and a rectangle region. as the handlers change with each of them , this information should be explained priorly
Yes the handlers do change with each but it depends on what you want to do. Synfig provides the different types for that reason, so whichever suits your needs :) if you want the handles to edit or not it's up to you.
Thank you but why are the draw tools so overlooked? as a 2D animator the first thing i want is being able to manually draw in my frames
I agree, but synfig focuses more on cut-out type animation, so thats why. If traditional animation is what you want, well trad-digital, then you could try Krita :)
@@YOWKhemardi thank u for replying :) I'll try Krita. I hope it's not too hard cuz im inexperienced in most animation softwares
nice tutorial. i had a question, i am real fast when i am working these kind of things but when i i use sketch tool and press ctrl+z to delete it(as it was wrong) i is not affected. whats the reason and what can i do?
me too
omg I'm having the same problem
👏👏👏
Good joke @17:03 😀
How to change second gradient color
In the same options as the first colour. Click over the right area on the black arrow above the "close" option
@@YOWKhemardi what software do you make your TH-cam videos with?
