Creating a FB Motion Path

With the Toon Boom Studio 3D scene space, you can create multiplane effects for elements by creating motion paths that go from the front to the back of the scene.

The Top View and Side View windows can help you visualize front/back (FB) motion. All elements appear as lines in the Top View and Side View.

To create FB motion:

1. Click the peg's name in the Timeline to select it. The peg appears in all View windows. You can hide other elements to make it easier to identify and modify pegs.

2. Select Tools > Sceneplanning Tools > Motion. This activates the Motion tool.

3. Drag the motion points at the beginning or end of the motion path to give the motion path a direction. The mouse pointer becomes a four-headed arrow when you position it over a motion point that you can move.

The direction you drag the spline points depends on the window you are using.

In Top View, you drag a motion point from top to bottom to change its FB position.
In Side View, you drag a motion point from left to right to change its FB position.


	You can also change the FB motion of motion points in the Camera View window by pressing [Alt] as you move the motion points. Press [Option] and drag up to move the motion point backward. Press [Option] and drag down to move the motion point forward.
