You’d have to use spots to make them lay at a position, a direction they’re facing and the lie down animation (for this, I usually experiment with the numbers on spot directing)
Here’s a helpful guide to Episode bed spot templates:
I believe you mean photo.
To make the character move around in the photo,
There are commands for it:
Joseph Evans’ tutorials on entering and exiting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU-UC9oiqkk (this walking tutorial is in ink, he also has one in limelight, though ink and limelight have the same directing commands and everything-the only thing different about them is their animations and their features)
Spot walking:
This guide will help you so much in walking across an area in your story.
(You can also follow another person to a different zone and pan the camera at the same time they are walking using spot directing)
Generic Example for this:
&pan to zone # in T
@CHAR walks to spot s x y in zone # in T AND CHAR does it while animation
, where T= the same number of seconds to make it look like the camera is following them.
So, an example:
&pan to zone 2 in 3
@CHAR walks to spot 0.900 50 90 in zone 2 in 3 AND CHAR does it while walk_neutral
The follow command:
@follow CHARACTER to position in zone # AND CHARACTER does it while animation
Example for this simple follow command:
@follow CHARACTER to screen left in zone 3 AND CHARACTER does it while walk_neutral
Check out this article on zooms:
So, from there:
Example of what a zoom function looks like:
@zoom on 349 383 to 8% in 0
You can zoom in and out on a scene-I would encourage you to play around with these numbers.
Hey, there are non-talking animations available on Episode, too. Under Animations by Character, on the side, you will find so many-can even type in something like flirt and a bunch of animations for them will pop up (though both genders may not always have the same animations-for example, there may be an animation a female can do, but not a male)
And in script can type something like:
@CHARACTER is flirt_wink
@CHARACTER starts flirt_wink
(Side note= is and starts can both be used, and there are differences between them)
*also am just using flirt_wink as an example, can be any animation : )
Can also write:
CHARACTER (flirt_wink)
(Oh wow, he’s so hot.)
*again flirt_wink is just being used as an example; can be any non-talking animation besides their name when they are thinking about something.
If you write this, it means the character is thinking it (those parentheses around what they said) means it will show up as a thought bubble and the flirt_wink animation next to their name means they will do a flirty wink while thinking it.
Hope this helps!
Can use PowerPoint (lol) or you could post in art resources that are you looking for someone to help you make a cover. Am sure many will be willing to help!
Any way, good luck with everything and if you need anything else, never hesitate to ask!
