Hmmm, well i dont quite know how to descibe it and I can’t currently find any site that has an example but…

  • How do you tween something to appear to be ‘bending’ into shape. For instance a box grows into the foreground and appears to form into box shape bouncing back from a distorted shape. *

LOL…Does anyone know what this crazy girl means…?

Are there any on Kirupa or am I just blind? Sorry sweetie but I just can’t seem to see any here. But if I HAVE to I guess I’ll wander onto someone elses site to see how to do it.

:love: :wink:

No problem Seretha. I am not an animator or anything, but I do know that if you are getting into that, motion tweens, shape tweens, motion guides and masking are all things you have to learn to use and master.
