Hi everyone, a much more detailed rigging tutorial using the bone tool is out now too if you'd like to dive deeper!

Brilliant stuff as always I feel like my knowledge expands every time I watch something by you
Thank you

[mahmoodulhassan]

This is exactly what I was trying to figure out.

I never knew we could parent stuff in Animate, they never taught me this in college :o

I'm a 3D / VFX professional, but I've been required to try to learn some of this stuff by my current supe. I will say that I generally like your tutorials, as you are clear, logical, and you have a great accent :)

[alexandersoyoye]

would love a tutorial on how you created this character from scratch

[Ucci]

I'm trying to switch from toon boom to animate, and this is so useful! Thanks!

[bleupencil]

Did not actually know Animate had this parenting feature. I always learn something new with your videos. Looking forward to the next one! :D

[satyarthasaxena]

Such a simple and clear explanantion. You are a lifesaver man!

Hey Matt can you make a short video on how you organize a library for an entire project, when and what you decide to convert into symbols (and otherwise), creating symbol instances and detaching symbols, and working with multiple scenes? Would be really helpful for beginners, cheers!

[joaocesarlima]

Excellent! Please continue creating more tutorials about Adobe Animate!

[nicolasbennett]

Ironically I came here to learn how to draw that character in Illustrator

[raudhahalwani]

thank you so much, you're a lifesaver

[podgemurray]

Followed the steps and went over video alot, but I cant get the parts of the body to move together after linking with the parenting? anyone know if theres something silly im missing?

[kiranmayekar]

Thank you very much for Every AN tutorial 🙏

[ngbccvg]

Can we import illustrator files to adobe animate and then rig them?

[Torganzer]

Thanks for the Tutorial!

I Do have a question however,

Is it possible to have lets say the front arm animate to go behind something despite being layered above?

Thanks :)

[MarvPianist]

Thanks so much! But pls mention not to create an HTML5 Document, I had some trouble finding out, why the Parenting Tools was greyed out xD

[leonanimation]

Hi Matt! First up, great tut, as always. Quick question. How do you achieve the rough texture of the character in the intro? Is that a filter or an Ae effect?

[yousifmohamad]

It's been almost a year since I watched one of your videos becuase of med school. Now I'm really excited to start learning again
