For a long time people asked for the tutorial explaining how to use Stickman Template and finally I have come up with something that might be called a tutorial. In fact those videos were recorded in different time (you might notice the differences in interface elements), but watching everything in sequence should give you the whole picture. Big thanks to Anna Orlova for translation and subtitling.
I am happy to announce the first release of “Remake” – unified build system for animation projects.
As I wrote some time ago, it’s purpose to automatically track changes in your project files and update rendered footage where needed.
“Remake” is released under GNU GPLv3 and available for download here.
There’s also nice tutorial about its usage.
For more information please visit project homepage.
Terry Hancock wrote an interesting article about translation of Morevna Project’s script: read now.
Synfig has no feature to manipulate camera view. Me and Genete arranged a workaround to have a camera fake using logarithm convert type and the zoom layer.
Here’s the latest version of camera widget: camera-view-0.3.sifz.

You could find instructions on it’s usage below.
It’s time to tell about the way we organizing usage of the same models in various scenes with blender.
Imagine we have a model of… mmm… bike! And as you could see from storyboard bike is appearing on many scenes of Morevna Project demo. We do not want to include the full copy of a bike because every time we will change the original model, we will need to re-insert it into each scene and (sic!) animate it again.
Consider, what it is unavoidable to make changes in the model after it already inserted in the scenes and process of animation already begun. We can’t design the model from start till the very end – there is always something to fix during the usage. Also it could be handy to insert unfinished yet model to the scene to see how it will look, and let one artist to work on the scene and other continue develop model (like we did for truck model in scene 54).
