:panda: hey there, i’m new to these boards and i love it alread.
I love the tutorals of flash and photoshop and i went to all those other links that you have posted in the sticky- it’s all cool- but i want more kirupa made tutorials, 'cause they are so sweet, almost as sweet as uncle jesse’s hair (almost). but anyways some tutorials i would like to see are some by soulty and coppertop- they have alot of skill and i’m wondering how they do some stuff! like’s soulty’s footer that sparkles?
well… it takes a lot of time to make a tutorial (if it’s gonna be a decent one) but as for soulty’s footer, i guess i could try to explain it briefly.
AFAIK, he’s created the image first, then imported it to flash to make the ‘shimmer’.
this effect involves creating and masking a vector shape… so he would have drawn his logo as a vector over the top of the image (probably in white).
then, he needs to mask the sections, and make a tween that will basically move along the vectors he drew, exposing a bit at a time… so it looks like a shimmer. There’s a tutorial that’s kinda the same idea on flashkit, i’ll see if i can find it…
