Re: Challenge 283: the animation test
I had 37 layers. Judging by the hesitation and sudden disappearance of the figure, I probably should have had 39, but I'm hesitant to attempt the repair. The scene is a working 1880's farm at a museum just up the road - the blacksmith shop on the left, with the barn in the background. _________________ Is it necessary? Does it work? |

Re: Challenge 283: the animation test
ok, i fear that with the attempt to get motion more fluid i did film-rate frames, 25/s. i should have used helplines (this definitely is not the english word for it but what can i do) and switch on the snap to function to prevent ginger from slightly sliding. too late now. the photograph by the way is mine of course, i hope all islanders appreciate it (chrchrchrchr...), and i considered moving the flag. i was too lazy for it.

Re: Challenge 283: the animation test
Well, I must admit I have always had a great deal of admiration for the animators on this site, and I have a great deal to learn. So I'll just post this while I still have my sanity.  |

Superb Deborah, the idea of turning her into a cartoon is a stunning idea - I love it. |

Re: Challenge 283: the animation test
What a bloody shambles! I've spent all of last night and today trying to get something half decent, 
I have to take my hat off to Becky for simply being the Master of body movement/coordination in animations. FANTASTICO Becky

Re: Challenge 283: the animation test
Any use of the puppet tool there or was this purely PS? I won't attempt this one. Making bicycle wheels rotate is about my limit. |

Re: Challenge 283: the animation test
What is that? BTW Jota was 100% PS CS4. ~110layers, 11 groups +6 layers and 4 working., and many deleted. (Not as bad as it sounds Probably a better solution, but each mainly just has same objects rotated and displaced and a few fixes/repairs/extentions)
If there was a tool, good luck, I'd prefer, but good to do the basics "by-hand". Clears the mind and can give more personal interpretation and understanding.
Once maybe enough

Re: Challenge 283: the animation test
Deborah, Michael, I know these problems! It took many times one step forward and then two backwards, literally. So ....... in the end just had to do a rugby rush past the line and retire afterwards. At least we/you achieved something. Look fwd to others that can make it. Redsnapper, As PM don't worry about the flag motion or more, (or mention to SC we might get another challenge )
I do enjoy your walking/sliding motion in your contribution.
Maybe you can get the guy some shorts .
Look fwd to next... |

Re: Challenge 283: the animation test
Purely 100% Photoshop the Puppet Tool would have have made the legs a bit too jelly-like. So as I had to seperate the layers in PS then it only made sense to animate in PS. |

Trevor, I'd say you have a pretty realistic motion there and Deborah I love the cartoon effect. Top marks for taking the plunge. Nick |

Re: Challenge 283: the animation test
I spent an hour trying to make this work after which my nurse told me that I should lie down quietly in a darkened room with a cup of hot tea and a biscuit and leave it to the others to do all the hard work. Some excellent attempts so far. Becky, I take my hat off to you. That's an excellent walk cycle; you have even got the left arm swinging with the right leg for balance. I'm going to take nurse's advice and sit this one out. _________________ Why isn't 'phonetic' spelled the way it sounds? |

Re: Challenge 283: the animation test
Hy everyone, This is not my cup of tea! I just don't know how this works. Tutorials are usually very helpful but I can't sit down and look at them. I know, it's all about trying, failing, trying, failing, trying and have succes! I am jealous  at everyones skills wen it comes down to animation!
Well done everyone, I am humble again.......... Gerard |
