Anyone know how the trendy vector art being drawn out effect is done?

2

masking?

Yeah how do you do the masking so it looks like it’s being drawn rather than just masked over with a shape?

i’d have to guess that they do it frame by frame, which is rather difficult:(

aw man, that sux … anyone know of an easier way??

pppllleeeaasssee

frame by frame animation is the only way to do the “drawing effect” as far as i know. i do mostly frame by frame animations so i’m kind of used to it. it’s not so bad. plus, if you are going to do frame by frame alot, i suggest getting an i-Pen. it’s basically a digital pen for drawing on the computer like tablet PCs.

use motion tweens!!
I adopt that you know what is that,
if not then you do not belonge in the flash world!!

A guy I know said theese effects are easiest done in reverse. You startout by drawing the finished “figure”. Then you do a frame by frame animation removing parts of the sketch. When thats all done you select all frames, right click one of the frames and choose “Reverse Frames”.

EDIT:A little language improvement…

@Mirandir … that sounds like it might not be a bad idea! (i’ll try it and let you know how it goes!)

Thanks! :thumb:

I basically asked the same question about Handwriting (when you see it appear as if being written on stage) and found that it can either be done by frame-by-frame masking, or erasing.
Erasing seems better as the filesize is a Lot smaller.

Wait, that command exists !? Gah I’ve wasted so much time repositioning frames. :fight:
