Continuing my Anime Studio Pro studies with Victor “Vector” Paredes, this afternoon he taught me about particles. Here is the result:
Wish me luck retaining even part of the knowledge required to make this.

That’s not a bug, it’s a feature!
This week I am intensively studying Anime Studio Pro because Victor “El Maestro” Paredes is visiting from Chile.
Anime Studio handles shapes and lines and curves and points differently than Flash. In particular if a shape crosses over itself it makes a “hole.” There are many ways to “fix” this but I think it’s cool, and made a crudely animated exercise that relies on that behavior:
Try not to mind my imperfect animation, right now I’m just trying to get the hang of this new, very different tool.

Tricolor Tiles
Actually bicolor + outline color.
Reminds me of the sea.
OK I Lied
I found another way to make bicolor morphing tiles in Flash, that didn’t make it crash all the time. Plus it animates!
Here is the single tile it’s made from:
More Tile Fun
With a few adjustments the tiles can morph vertically as well as horizontally. I might prefer the just-horizontal version, but I’m not sure.
In some ways I prefer the black and white to the color. When it’s just outlines your mind can interpret shapes any number of ways. When a fill color is added they get restricted a little. With additional colors they get more locked into regions.
This is such a good project to work on while I have insomnia. Or maybe it’s causing the insomnia.
