rippling flag effect
in [Flash]

From: Chris (mudbubble) on 16 Jan 2006 11:48 thanks. I just updated it: http://www.mudbubble.com/downloads/flagswaving.swf d/l: http://www.mudbubble.com/downloads/flagswaving.zip I abviously added a sky and a few instances of the same flag tinted - but the subtle difference is I animated the mask and also made one with stripes. Getting a logo on the flag to mimic the ripples is hard. will try and find a way - but unlikely depending on the logo's complexity. ****************************************** --> Team Macromedia --> www.mudbubble.com --> www.keyframer.com tralfaz wrote: > "Chris (mudbubble)" <chris(a)REMOVEmudbubble.com> wrote in message > news:dqf55g$7ah$1(a)forums.macromedia.com... > >>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 > > > Good 1 Chris! > tralfaz > >

That really looks good Chris! Being a coder more than an artist, I wish that we had more ability to distort bitmaps with Actionscript (besides just scaling them). BTW.. when opening your fla file, my Flash MX shuts down with a crash. If your version is 7 or 8 I would expect an "unexpected file format" error but with this one I get a "has to shut down now.. sorry" message instead. Is the file ok? tralfaz

From: Jeckyl on 16 Jan 2006 22:20 here's one I whipped un in SWiSHmax ,, only take a minute (add the image, breaking into pieces, apply a 3d flag waving effect) .. then added a flag pole and some scrolling sky to make it pretty http://www.swishzone.com/swi/wave-sample-flag-aussie2.html -- Jeckyl

nice jeckyl - i am trying to do the same thing in Swishmax but can only get the imported bitmap to move as a single flat image without any interpolation - tweaking the effect settings as much as they allow - can this effect be scripted only in SM? ****************************************** --> Team Macromedia --> www.mudbubble.com --> www.keyframer.com Jeckyl wrote: > here's one I whipped un in SWiSHmax ,, only take a minute (add the image, > breaking into pieces, apply a 3d flag waving effect) .. then added a flag > pole and some scrolling sky to make it pretty > > http://www.swishzone.com/swi/wave-sample-flag-aussie2.html > -- > Jeckyl > > |
