rippling flag effect
in [Flash]

From: Chris (mudbubble) on 15 Jan 2006 22:50 here's my blue collar method - i like taking the "sleight of hand" approach and create the illusion of the flash waving - the hard part most people get stuck on is literally thinking like a flag and trying to shape tween and/or frame-by-frame. I find the easiest method is to make a ribbon shape and fill it with a linear gradient to add depth and then motion tween it through a mask: http://www.mudbubble.com/downloads/flagwave.swf d/l: http://www.mudbubble.com/downloads/flagwave.zip ****************************************** --> Team Macromedia --> www.mudbubble.com --> www.keyframer.com Captured-Films wrote: > I just want to do something pretty simple and put it on a website as a logo.

Sometimes simple solutions are just out there, too obvious to even realize. The only challenge with this one is if you have some image on that flag. Thanks for the file tho :) regards urami
From: Chris (mudbubble) on 16 Jan 2006 08:36 yeah - i forgot to mention that - depending on the image it could get much more complex - maybe i will make some more samples - some with wavy lines in the flag, stars and another with a complex business logo - could be "faked" with tweening and skewing - or it could ruin the effect altogether. -c urami_ wrote: > > > Chris (mudbubble) wrote: > >> here's my blue collar method - i like taking the "sleight of hand" >> approach and create the illusion of the flash waving - the hard part >> most people get stuck on is literally thinking like a flag and trying >> to shape tween and/or frame-by-frame. >> I find the easiest method is to make a ribbon shape and fill it with a >> linear gradient to add depth and then motion tween it through a mask: > > > > neat... no doubt... > Sometimes simple solutions are just out there, too obvious to > even realize. > > The only challenge with this one is if you have some image on that flag. > > Thanks for the file tho :) > > regards > > urami
