What are you making?

Puppet rig = cut parts + pin joints + set swing (what SUPER X uses). Face expressions = cut a face's features (brows, eyes, mouth…) once, then pose happy / sad / angry / shocked by nudging them. Cut in Puppet-rig mode, then switch here to pose the faces.

Tool

Brush size 120px Wand tolerance 40

Patch softness 60% Infuse (blend into surroundings) 0%

🩹 Patch base rebuilds the coat/belt hidden behind a mover, so when it swings away you see real texture — not a gap. Picking this tool lifts the movers off so the area behind them glows magenta (that's what you're rebuilding; the magenta recedes as you fill it).
▭ Copy a box (recommended): tap ▭ Grab a box, then drag a rectangle over a clean bit of belt/coat — that whole rectangle (buckle, strap, weave and all) is copied. Then tap or drag over the magenta to stamp that exact patch at each point; a live ghost shows what will land. Overlapping stamps blend via Softness. Tap ▭ Grab a box again to copy a different piece. This keeps the real detail — not one averaged tone.
🖌 Brush stamp: the older round brush — tap 🎯 Set source spot on clean belt, then paint; each dab copies that spot at the brush size (make the brush big).
🧵 Pattern fill (for a bending belt/strap): tap ⬚ Pick pattern and drag a box over the texture you want (a clean bit of belt). Then paint the area to fill — any flexible shape, e.g. the belt curving behind the arm. Lift your finger and it's filled with that pattern, seamlessly extended (no visible tiling) and feathered into the edges by Softness. Paint more to keep going; 🧽 Clear area drops an un-filled painted area.
Infuse (default 0 = off) optionally tone-matches to the real coat bordering the hole (the lifted arm is excluded). Painting is clipped to the area behind the mover + the figure, onto a non-destructive back-layer under the base. ↩︎ / ⌘Z undoes any patch.

Two fingers (or mouse-wheel) to zoom & pan. The coloured overlay shows what's selected. Switch the wand to ✖ removes to un-select a wrong flood — or just ↩︎/↪︎ in the top bar (⌘Z / ⇧⌘Z) to undo/redo any step. Pivot = the joint the part rotates around.

Clean up the selection

White threshold 235 (for knock-out)

Knock-out white flood-fills the connected white background and keeps everything else — the fast first cut. Then Brush/Erase to fix, Grow to catch the soft pencil edge, Shrink/Feather to tidy.

Layers (back → front)

🩹 fill cut-out holes with skin

base = the body, stays still & joined. mover = a limb you'll animate — cut it OFF the body itself (not a separate study, or it won't line up), tick “cut out” so its shape is lifted off whatever it sits on (the base, or the layer it Swings with), and pin its 🎯 joint (shoulder/hip/neck). Use ▲▼ on a row to order front/back. Then ▶ Preview motion to watch the whole figure assemble + swing.

Motion (selected mover)

Angle = how far it swings, Speed = how fast. Tuck to body nudges the part a few px toward the torso so the empty cut area (e.g. behind the right hand) stays hidden. Changes show live in ▶ Preview.

Name

Names the exports: <name>_layers.zip, <name>_face_frames.zip, <name>.ogcut.json.

Send to app hands the layers + rig straight to the host app (it bakes the moving puppet, no files to pass around). Export .zip is the manual route: one transparent PNG per layer, the base with mover-holes punched, and rig.json.
