💖 Smart Magnet Rigs are like nothing else
The duality of SMR, where elements can be moved and modified freely as just any bunch of random instances on the Stage, but also can maintain a hierarchy and respond to high-precision FK/IK tools, opens endless possibilities for posing.
This, combined with the magnet functionality and element welding, gives infinite flexibility to riggers and animators to create structures which perfectly serve their goals, without constraining them.

Interview with Nickolay Tilcheff
Nick's interview for the Adobe blog was finally published on our website.
The conversation revolves mostly around EDAP Tools, our motivation to start the project and our use of Flash/Animate as a professional tool of choice, but he also touches upon some topics about his early interest in cartoons, how Vlad and Nick met and the history of the first incarnation of Electric Dog back in the twentieth century.

Analog Look with Digital Cutouts
There are basically two approaches which can be taken to simulate the analog look:
Real paper cutouts
If all body parts are drawn on paper, cut with scissors, scanned and imported into Flash, this will give a look that is as close to the real medium as possible.
Vector shapes with bitmap fills
Another option for getting analog textured look in Flash is to use bitmap fills. These can be applied both to vector shapes and strokes. They have a matrix and can be scaled, rotated and moved around. They can also be swapped very easily.

💖 Comprehensive Magnet Snapping
Magnet Snapping has been a defining feature of Smart Magnet Rigs since the inception of our system in 2012.
The elements were ‘smart’, because they knew where their place in the hierarchy was and the joints were ‘magnetic’, because they could reassemble at the press of a button.
Initially there was only one kind of Magnet Snapping, where a child element would snap to its parent.
But as the SMR system was maturing, many other types of Magnet Snapping were introduced to cover all possible situations that we could think of.
Now there are so many variations, that Magnet Snapping deserves a special article which can serve as a quick reference.
It is possible that even long-term EDAP Tools users are unfamiliar with all the options and thus are not taking full advantage of the snapping possibilities.

Foreshortening and SMR
How to deal with foreshortening in Adobe Flash / Animate, esp. in the context of Smart Magnet Rigs.
This video shows how variations of a limb are added inside containers, and how Magnet Targets can be repositioned and tweened to maintain full SMR functionality at all times.

🔥🔥🔥 Inspired by Josh Spencer Green @VerdaRunner and his exceptionally well engineered Smart Magnet Rigs, in v.7 KineFlex will be able to work with locked mask layers for real-time preview of the masked.
It will also be possible to integrate masks to achieve dynamic shadow effects with welded elements.
