Need help with a simple animation

[killervette]

I need to animate the "k" in the font Wingdings.

It is a satellite image. I want the 4 pieces to rotate around the center. This would be used on a webpage. Anyone here good enough to do it??

 

[killervette]

I think i said wingdings, i meant webdings. my bad

I am sure that many here are good enough, but I doubt you could afford our prices.

If you have a recent version of Photoshop, you have Imageready, too. Create the image in Imageready, then copy it several times for the subsequent frames, rotating each one a bit.

When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.

You make assumptions to fast! I have my own condo and a corvette Z06. If I want something, I will just go get it. I see how this forum is.

LOL... well in that case, I charge $100 hour...

While you're at it you could go get the manual. Or you could re-read viol8ion's post #3 where he told you EXACTLY how to do it.

I think he's gone to take a ride in his 'vette

 

[killervette]

Ok, how do you rotate a flat 2d image? Am i missing something.....and yes, i was riding in the vette. cause this weekend i will be working on it.

I just had alook at what you were talking about. If you want to make the satellites solar panels look as though spinning around it, then I wouldn't bother trying to do it in photoshop(or Imageready); Yes it can be done, but the time taken to do it would be Prohibitive.
Best bet would be to create a simple 3D model (2 cylinders, a cone, a sphere and 4 Panels), in an App like Swift 3D (

- because its very simple and user friendly - animate it, and then you could save the animation as either a gif or as a flash anim.

barehug has a good point...

I was assuming he wanted a rotation such as looking straight on at a windmill, which would require a few simple 45° rotations of the image.

To make it look like a rotaion being viewed from the side, like looking at a merry-go-round, then that would require a 3-D application, or lots and lots of time and experience in photoshop.

Do you want something like this...

I made this in Max, but i did use the swift3D renderer, so it is very quick and easy to do.
This is purely for illustration purposes

If the Gif is not animating, it may be your popup ad blocker settings, you may have to disable it.
