Gonna Try Out Toon Boom. · 9:30pm Jan 26th, 2017
As of now, I have Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle's puppets completed, and a whole assortment of hair and clothes for many of the characters.
Now for the announcement, I'm going to try Toon Boom for the sake of a better character rig system. My intended hierarchy has made my puppets rather... animator unfriendly in Animate CC. Plus with the use of deformers, animating hair can be much easier without having to draw more parts. Layering is also a little issue as you can better see with Sweetie Belle.
Likewise, even with the bases made and using the "find and replace tool," it takes quite a while to make a puppet of a character by clicking symbol into nested symbol.
School work and my job aside, it does take awhile for me to make any more characters.
