alrobin Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Tom,That is one extravaganza of flying warplanes! Must have been a chore setting all that animation up! Very convincing, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksf Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Personally I think you've overdone it - a little animation used sparingly would have had far more impact and if you are going to use pieces from other people then don't they deserve to be accredited too?

ksf Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Hi Tom,No, not too sour. I agree there are lots of very helpful people on the forum and you are right that they should all be applauded for their efforts and assistance to us all on our very steep learning curve for v5. However whilst I do not mind people sharing techniques (I have adapted Al's sparkling text effect myself), I would normally draw a line at using their images as well - that's it, end of (minor) gripe On the animation side of things, I felt some of the helicopter effects (particularly the large Huey that flew up from the bottom of the screen) worked better than the planes. Can't explain why, it just appeared more natural - apart from the pilots and I was wondering if they could be made to move as well? Now that would be a challenge....
