Deforming Body Parts to Dramatize 2D Motions

In addition to do the body part transforming to exaggerate your character's motions, you can also collaborate with the Free Form Deformation (FFD) feature to make the motion even more dramatic.

*Please note that the distortions to the facial features are not supported.

1. Apply a G1 or G2 character.
   
2. Apply a 2D motion from the library.
   
3. The character will start to perform the applied 2D motion.
4. Click the 2D Motion Key Editor button to open the panel.
   
5. Go to the time frame when you want to set another motion layer key (in this case, the frame the character jumps high).
   
6. Switch to the Body tab and adjust the transformation of a body part.
   
   Note:

   Please refer to the Using Body Transform - Transform any Body Parts section for more information.

7. Switch to the Deform tab. Select the body part you want to adjust.
   
8. On the working area, drag the four control points to distort the body parts.
   
9. The deformation keys will be automatically added to the timeline of the character.
   
10. Play back to view the tweening results caused by the Motion Layer and Deform keys.
