i'm a hobbyist who play with multimedia, and i do drawing, sketching and animating a lot in my spare time. it's like a second job, except there's no pay, though i really enjoy it a lot

1) you can try this book ... Setting Up Your Shots: Great Camera Moves Every Filmmaker Should Know http://www.amazon.com/Setting-Up-Your-Shots-Filmmaker/dp/0941188736 i borrowed this book from the library and it is by far one of the best documentation i've seen about cuts and scenes. http://ec1.imag...

uhm... it seems that i need more help in the following: 1) a howto on working with video footage and ASP5 drawn character. 2) a howto on working with video footage and Photoshop rendered bitmaps. i did look into this thread ... http://www.lostmarble.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8441&start=0&pos...

theoretically, you should be able to do that. The ASP5 toolbox has layer transformations that you can use to make it happen. i tried rotations on the x-axis and translations on both z- and y-axis. i haven't tried rotations on the y-axis, though. but you should be able to do that, the transform matri...

thanks for the info.

i'll post the output here later, and also put it on wiki as well.

i'm seeing the work somewhat similar but not close enough to this tutorial...

I'm about to get to the next experiment with ASP5, this time using Photoshop and ASP5 to do some interesting animation. Basically, my question is: Will this idea of setting the character, props and backgrounds--all hand drawn--in Photoshop work nicely in ASP5? Here is a sample drawing I made, took m...

swf bug.... i've seen that bug, that line across the middle...bug? anyway, i'm pretty much a newbie ASP5 user, still climbing up that slope, though. it's hard to say when will i finally be done with this tool since it fills a niche in my current toolboox, a unique tool for simplifying movements acro...

I'd like to second the feature request about having some of the features on Swift 3D over to both versions of AS. I read the docs including the scripting section and found lots of 3D related classes and functions. And I'm guessing the path to having a swift-like feature could not be far away in the ...

good work. really appreciate your contribution. thanks for posting your work, i did look into your work and it turns out we use the same technique in setting up scenes by using the layer visible timeline. keep it up and hope you create more animations. I submitted an entry. I only have the demo vers...

i played around with another test and it seems that i could probably get away with bitmap textures, though. http://begonza.com/animation/aspro/scene/temple/render.temple.002.01.01.bmp http://begonza.com/animation/aspro/scene/temple/render.temple.001.01.bmp http://begonza.com/animation/aspro/scene/te...

vern, adding noise removed the banding.

i owe you, again.

the mist effect is still in there, which is nice.

regarding pixelation, i did some tests on it by flying the camera on it, heading toward the island. it turned out pixelation created a nice effect.

it might turn out pixelation could be useful in this case.

thank you, scunge for commenting. i did some test on png and used png-24 in attempting to remove the gradient bands. it did remove some, but not entirely, though. i guess, what this means is avoiding gradients and probably use a different technique. http://begonza.com/animation/aspro/scene/ocean/isl...

noticed the gradients didn't render well. what's the solution for this one? also noticed the pixelated region of the image near the camera. files: http://begonza.com/animation/aspro/ocean.rar http://begonza.com/animation/aspro/ocean.render.001.jpg http://begonza.com/animation/aspro/ocean.render.002....

i'm not sure if this idea will work in ASP5. i'm thinking of setting up textures in PS, then set them up ASP5. Each object will be translated, rotated and scaled on an axis, resulting to this kind of 3D space. my color style will be similar to art lozzy. any comments will be appreciated. http://bego...
