Welcome to dragon bones Pro. This is the animation software we will use. If you didn't download it yet, just go to Dragon bones.com and download the software for your operating system. This is what you see when you enter the software get a new project. This also is asking if you want to create an animation or emotion comic, because this is also what it can do. Now we are only focusing on the animation.
In dragon bones, one is able to create amazing cutout puppet like animations. You will understand it later on how it works. I will explain everything and I will take a lot of Care to explain everything in Dragon Balls. As I said before, most of this course is about dragon bones and animating and only a smaller part about Inkscape. Okay, so let's create an animation. It's asking if I want to have a template.
Of course I want to start with the armature template. And then I just click Finish. And here I am. So this is the user interface, you see a big background, you see some menu. Very simple, but it's not so straightforward. And I will help you all the way.
And if you have any questions during the course, please just ask. Now before in the template part, it was asking if we want an armature template, and I said yes, just click Yes. And here you see two buttons, there's armature mode and animation mode. So armature means the chain of mechanics that build up the motion of our character. Those are literally the bones and muscles of our little night. All the pieces we exported from the little night.
This is where we're going to put them all together and link all the parts together. In the animation part. If you click that, you get a timeline and you can move those elements and you can switch between the two all the time, and you can change the elements and then go to the animation part and animated. It is amazing. Okay, let's start.
