Photoshop :: Creating A Dive Animation
Apr 6, 2008
I have changed both the board and the penguin JPEG pictures to Compuserve GIF pictures so that I can create Animated GIFs with them, I have also saved them but when I come to opening both the board and the penguin GIFs Photoshop CS3 Extended seems to partially lock the board and penguin layers within there separate window and it says index as the layer text so I am unable to move the penguin GIF image on to the board GIF image, is there a way of unlocking the two layers so I can move the penguin image on to the board image?
The other problem I am having is that the layers seem to be partially locked is there anyway of unlocking the layers?
Just to let you know I have a Windows XP SP2 OS.

I'm creating short GIF animations with a group of students in PS CS6 extended. We are unable to use the tween function consistently. Sometimes Photoshop inserts blank frames, sometimes it duplicates the first frame exactly

Been messing around with Image Ready 3.0 for some time and have had some good experience making animated gifs...but only by adding to or subtracting from the layers of the same image.
How can I tween between 2 or more separate images?

wants me to create a Scale Animation in PhotoShop MX 2004 (I have PhotoShop CS3 and Windows XP OS) the annoying thing is that I cant not find Numeric In Transform (by going to edit) all I have is: Scale, Rotate, Skew, Distort, Perspective and Warp, is there anyway I could get an add-on or a Plug-In?

I was trying to make an animated GIF with 30 static GIF images I made with PhotoPaint X5 itself.
The crash happened every time I tried to close the program without saving the animated file – which I couldn't make due to not achieving what I intended (I'll have to learn a bit more about background and objects).
It happened on a 64-bit Windows 7 Professional system with 12 GB of DDR3 RAM.

Im rigging legs for a character atm and the char's legs are sort of at an angle. I havent run into this problem before (or have successfully circumvented it) but now it seems i have to face it fully.
The problem is that the knee moves off to the left/right. My best guess would be to rig it straigth and then move the control into place for the foot. but im wondering if theres another solution to this than that?

As I wrote in "Applying inverse kinematics to a folding rule" I succeeded with the first step.
Now I would like to make it behave like a whip. How to accomplish a whipping animation?
I did some motion capture of a person whipping an imaginary whip, so basically the folding rule just has to follow the hand and behave the way a whip would within the folding rule's constraints. How could I do that?

How to create inbetweens for corrective blend-shapes and reversed shapes.
For example if we have 2 poses, "lidClose" and "browDown" with 3 betweens for each. It's not hard to create the corrective and reversed blends but it's very confusing to create inbetweens for reversed shapes.
Although logically it looks simple but it's been impossible for me.

So im using 3ds max to create a controller that hold more than 1 hand pose: fist, relaxed, stretched, etc. But when i making my 2nd pose and placing the same axis as the first pose, it overwrites it. So like this i can only use the 2nd one, instead of both.

In the timeline panel in CS6 EXTENDED, you have a video feature, where you can animate three things:
Position Style Opacity
What I would like to know, is: How can I animate rotation of a layer? I want to rotate my layer at an angle and animate it. But when I rotate, the first animation frame is also rotated, resulting in NO animation between the frames.

I have rigged a character and made it into a character set in which i have locked the scaling attribute , I have then saved this file. I have then referenced this file and and have done a walk cycle animation and saved this file. I have then realised that I needed the scaling attribute when I have added other parts of my scene. Is there a way to unlock the scaling attribute in my walk cycle animation file or will i have to go back and change it in the rigged file, create a new character set and do the walk cycle animation again?

My current scene has 10 animation layers for a character, and seeing every f-curve from all layers, although grey and locked, when I only need to see the f-curves in layer I'm working on is really cluttering the graph editor. My current work around is selecting my active layer in the Layer Editor every time I select a rig control. Simple enough, but a pretty inefficient way of working. I can't seem to find a setting that allows me to just see ONLY the fcurves in the active layer. I imagine some of you out there may have hundreds of animations for a single game character.

I'm trying to animate a moving rope based on simulation data. I know how to import my motion data for individual objects.I've seen lots of tutorials where one uses simulations or soft bodies with IK in order to create a rope. how to use all these features and I want the rope to follow my coordinates exactly. I was hoping I could do something like the following:
1. create points in Maya which correspond to my data points
2. connect the points with a curve
3. loft a circle using the curve as a path in order to make a rope
4. move the points. due to History, the rope position is updated
Is there a way to do something like this in Maya? I've tried, and it looks like ep points do not have key-able channel data, so I can't create animations for them separately. I'm using .mov data file imports to generate x, y, and z motion keys for the points.

i need to do a loop animation of several stripes that starts at lets say 2units distance from each other, they separate slowly and by the end they have 15units separation, my problem is that each stripe is a separate object, so i offset their keyframes, but when i want to tweak the keys on curve editor they dont apply to the other copies. Any other way to do this simpler?
quick example on the image attached, real application on the video, video shows the animation(rendered sequential images of 1 loop then applied as texture) but with linear speed, so constant separation, i need to apply the above here, these dont only move on the X axis but on the Y aswell, while keeping the symmetry fixed on the center.

I have a list of motion capture, those mocap didn't track the fingers so the hands are always opened. In some of these mocap I need the biped hand to be closed. I've been looking for a solution for about a day now. I think I'm in the good way which is to create a biped layer animation where the hands are closed and link the hands of that layer to the original layer. so I would be able to save that layer and apply it to every mocap animation that need to be readjusted. The only problem is that I'm not sure if it's the better way and I don't know the procedure.

I have an assignment for a class where part of the final project is detailing the construction of a mold for a part. The animation that I would like to do would show the build up of the part in a 3D printer layer by layer. The closest method of animating this that I can think of is unfortunately backwards.
As I would have the part and a camera facing up from the bottom of the part and would have a plane that would recede upwards in the y direction. This would reveal the part as the plane translates in the y direction.
This might be okay, but the problem is that I would like to show this from a camera on top facing down instead of a camera on bottom facing up. How I can create the look of a part being built up in this additive method?

I am trying to add an expression to the standard Mudbox car to make the wheels turn when the vehicle moves in both the X & Z dimension. I have found many scripts that let me do this in a single dimension. I have found some others that claim to work for both dimensions, but at certain angles the wheels turn in the wrong direction.
My work flow is as follows:
1 - Export car from Mudbox to Maya
2 - Separate the wheels & center pivot all items
3 - Add NurbsCurves to create a rig
4 - Parenting the elements of the car
5 - Add an expression based on this web post [URL].......
6 - Test the animation
It works great when translating the car in the Z axis, but when the car is rotated 95 degrees in the Y axis the wheel will only go backwards no matter which direction the car is moved.
I have attached an MB (Maya 2013) so you can see the

translate facial motion capturing data (basically 2d point clouds) to blendshape weights. I finished rigging my character and wanted to drive my blendshapes by the relative position of my tracking data, e.g. distance between corners of the mouth drive the "wide" blendshape and so on...
Hope YOU know a solution for this, I believe blendshapes are THE way to create realism in tracked animation but I was not able to find ANY reference to something like that. I'd like it to be customizable and not to expensive, so the imagemetrics faceware service won't do for me

I have a character with animation. Another character is the same(same bones, meshes), but with no animation, 100 times larger in size and I resize the head to make the head looks slimmer. They are saved in different fbx files and I imported them into mb scenes. I select the root bone and "select hierarchy", the export options is shown below. Then select in the same way in the larger character's scene, the importer options is shown below. THE PROBLEM is: after I import the atom, the character becomes shrinked to the same size as the former one and the ratio of head becomes the same as the former one too.

For some scenes we have a chain which is wrapped around several cogs, just like a bicycle. In this scenario we need the chain links to follow the path and retain their relationship to each other.
In other scenes we have a chain which follows along a changing path. Imagine this if you can: A heavy weight has a chain attached which goes vertically up, over a pulley and down the other side where it is attached to a lorry. The lorry drives off pulling the weight upwards. This is my challenge!
Should I individually constrain the links using a Pin constraint and use dynamics completely to keep the chain taught?

I am trying to synch several biped characters to an HD background video I have placed in the environment slot. The problem is that when I scrub the animation slider or hit the play button, Max cannot play the background video in real time. When I hit play, the video remains frozen on whatever frame it was last on, but then updates to the correct frame when I hit the stop button.
It is pretty difficult to get the timing right on the foreground biped animation without a real time background reference. I also tried a lower res version of the background video (standard 720 x 480 DV), but that also does not play in real time. Is there any way to get max to play the background video in sync i.e., updating the frames in real time? Is there a way to improve max performance (ideal settings?)for a background video? Would a Tiff sequence play quicker than a .mpg or .mov files? If so how do set up an .ifl for playing an image sequence?

Was wondering if there is a way of getting random camera movements? For example, i am doing a fly through of an earthquake scene and as the camera animates along the street it randomly shakes with the earthquake shocks.
I know I could animate it by hand but I wondered if there was a way (perhaps an expression) to make it more simple?

I have made a 3d Spectrum analyser , its made of rectangular boxes 16 rows and 16 boxes in each row.
So i have made my cam from Bottom Left corner to Top Right over 96 Frames.
What i need to do, is make some of the blocks disappear and re appear as the cam pans across.
In sketchup i did it by HIDEING the component (block), make new scene, then un hide it..

I want to key frame animate something to go in a straight line but it seems to start out slowly, speed up, and then slow down again at the end. Is there a way to make it so the object moves the same speed throughout?
