Motion Guides

Remember when Dr Zaidatun mentioned that if you want to make the ants movement look realistic, you should add more keyframe and change the position of the ants...From your post, i can see some of you did add more keyframe and some didn't...

Well take a look on 2 pictures below:
 

 

When you add the motion at the ant layer, you will see there's one option 'Orient to path' appears at the properties section...


So my question is that, is it enough if one just ticks at the 'Orient to path' to make the ants movements look real OR is it one still needs to add more keyframe and adjust the position too?

If you can / can't detect the differences, please state here ok...

Another question, all this while we only used Pencil tool to draw the line/path thus the object can moves...Is it possible to make the line using Brush tool?Do you really think the ants can move along the path that being drawn using Brush tool?

If yes, why is it so?
If not, why is it so?

Well try it, you just sitting there anyway...hihi...

Got PROBLEM, place it HERE

Class, in this entry i would like you guys to post any problems or issues that you have encountered in Flash...

Apart from that, you too can ask for IDEAS here...let say you want to design something, but do not know where to start or how to do it, just let us now ok...your classmates are creative2 one...

And you know, i think it is better for you guys to start thinking about what to do for the Assignment 1...thus, you won't face much difficulties later...tak de la pening-pening nak cari idea kan...

For last week activity, some of your friends or perhaps u yourself have problems right...
But for now, i just want to highlight the following problem...
This is based on TRUE story ok, haha...
One of your classmates, Syakira had this puzzle in her mind...This was what she wrote in her blog...

MASALAH:

Antara masalah yang saya hadapi ialah untuk paint langit secara gradient. Warna biru berada di kanan dan memudar kepada warna putih di kiri padahal saya mahukan biru di atas dan memudar putih di bawah. Saya lakukan ini dengan cara memusingkan rectangle yang saya lukis. Apa cara sebenarnya untuk melakukannya? Any ideas, please...

Since no one ever responds to her problem, thus i bring the problem here la...so everybody can read and give opinion on how to solve the puzzle...

Please, who are among you guys can actually solve this using the right technique?

Class Activity 1

Salam and Hello to all...

How's your lesson on Flash...can catch up or not?
OK, Lets make a list here, so far you have learned on Flash CS3 Interface-the features and tools...
then move on to Tracing Images using Onion Skin Tool,
after that, you guys play around with Gradients and Fill with Photographs,
next, comes the interesting part which is Tweening- Motion and Shape tween...where you are very excited seeing your ball bouncing all over the place...hahaha...

Well, there are certain basic rules and techniques that you have to follow in order to do the tutorial...hope you guys have jotted everything down in the note book...

I just wanna say good luck in designing your Flash, the one that you need to submit next week...Use all the concepts and techniques that you already learned plus your creativity...just do the simple2 one, but no more bouncing ball ok...

so far only Syakira and Azaki have done it...and their designs are not bad too...pay a visit to their blogs and drop some critiques on the design okay...tell you what it is getting hot now...everybody starts showing their creativity...great start....

oo ya, please reflect on how you do the animation, how long does it takes you to complete it, and others that you think worth to share la...
