- A Quick example 3
- ------------------
-
- Count how many letters are in your first NAME (this neat example
- also works with company/school logos/names)
- , multiply that total by 15. IF your result is bigger than 91
- than RUN Phantasmos in the CLI with "Phantasmos 2000 200".
- You'll be running Phantasmos with 200 frames of animation
- with 2,000 points per frame.
-
- FOR THIS example I'll use my first name 'James'= 5 ; 5*15=75.
-
-
- RUN Phantasmos in Hi-res interlace mode with 2-colors.
-
- GOTO Frame 75 (Right-Amiga-5), hand-write my name in that frame.
- (naturally, if you have a longer first name than mine you'll
- be in a higher frame number)
- GOTO frame 0, draw a dot in the center of the screen.
-
- GOTO frame 15, copy frame 75 to frame 15 (Right-Amiga-4)
- ERASE everything except the first letter (Right-Amiga-X).
-
- GOTO frame 30, copy frame 75 TO frame 30.
- ERASE everything except the first two letters.
-
- GOTO frame 45, copy frame 75 TO frame 45.
- ERASE everything except the first three letters.
-
- REPEAT this UNTIL I hit frame 65.
-
-
- Now, GOTO frame 0, Tween (Right-Amiga-J) TO frame 15.
- For the motion select the Unison curve, and adjust the eccentricity
- somewhere between 7 and 8.
- SELECT tween algorithm 2.
-
- Now GOTO TO frame 15 tween TO frame 30.
- FOR motion, again SELECT the Unison curve, and again adjust the eccentricity
- somewhere between 7 and 8.
- Again SELECT tween algorithm 2.
-
- Now GOTO TO frame 30 tween TO frame 45.
- FOR motion, again SELECT the Unison curve, and again adjust the eccentricity
- somewhere between 7 and 8.
- Again SELECT tween algorithm 2.
-
- REPEAT this UNTIL I have tween TO my full hand-written NAME which
- is TO frame 75.
-
- Preview the animation. Neat. huh? Remember, this is a preview animation,
- saving the animation in ANIM format will enable any Amiga owner TO
- playback the animation at TV rates (30 frames/sec OR higher).
-
-
- AFTER THAT TRY THIS.
-
- When tweening each of the frames, use straightline motion, SELECT
- the 'Twist Last Frame' Button and use Tween Algorithm #1.
