I have had some fun taking photographs and such and making characters... still don't have a storyline yet... but learning the program. When using a VECTOR character like Cherry, I can adjust colors on-the-fly and other nice things such as scaling without getting pixelation.

I have several programs that could be used to create a VECTOR drawing like Corel Draw, Inkscape, and SWiSH. I also have Swift 3D which can generate a 2D representation of a 3D object with shading, etc.

So... if I create a vector based character... how do I then bring it into CTA Pro?
Pretend I make a circle (head) rectangle (body), other rectangles (arms and legs) and export them as a SWF, DXF, or some other format. (Tell me which one.) I need to know how to import and link up the bones.

I seem to be missing those instructions... perhaps I'm not looking in the right place. Also... if I want to export something like Cherry for example as a vector object that I can pull into a vector art program and manipulate into a totally new character... how do I do that?

Can you point me to some online tutorials, videos, and/or examples?

By the way... I just installed the 1.2 upgrade... so i am looking forward to outputting something and trying to import it into SWiSH for further animation, manipulation, etc. (With things like physics, etc.)

Thanks!
Jerry
