I know I don't have many hours logged in on Aegis Animator, yet and
would eventually be able to solve these questions myself, but I would
appreciate any help in the following areas.
I'm working on an animation of a flying spaceship I designed with
sculpt-3d. I took pictures of the ship at various angles and want to
pull them into animate. I've learned enough so that I can load in a
background with the same palette as my pictures, and can pull the individual
pictures in and move them, etc.
Now, My spaceship picture is a square that gets moved around, including
background colors. Is there anyway to have animate not move the background
with the picture, like a brush in dpaint? This way I could have the ship
land on a building...
How can I get the ship to move, and then say a lazer beam to fire
from the ship at the same time? The tweens seem only capable of doing one
movement at a time.
What does one use masks for? They are only one color, as far as I
can tell and seem to be related with what I want to do in my first question.
Lastly, does anyone have any hints or tips on using the storyboard
for editing? Can you use it to edit out tweens from a sequence within one
frame of the storyboard?
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanx in advance.
