- In this demonstration we will show you the basics of the Move requester.
- First, we must create some animation frames.
- The Move requester manipulates the current brush, so, we'll create one.
- The first step before entering the Move requester, is to stamp down the brush.
- This sets the starting position for brush movement.
- Choose Move from the Anim menu, or, press Shift-M.
- For basic Moves, you enter any combination of Distance or Angle values.
- First, we'll click on Clear to remove any old settings.
- Now, let's begin with a simple move along the horizontal, or X, axis.
- `Positiv values move the brush left to right, negativ would go right to left.
- Positive values move the brush left to right, negative would go right to left.
- Ease Out & Ease In, for acceleration or deceleration, will be turned off.
- The Count value is the number of frames the move will be drawn over.
- `The default Move and Record directions, Come To, and Forword, will be used.
- The default Move and Record directions, Come To and Forward, will be used.
- `You can click Pre view to see the move without actually drawing it.
- You can click Preview to see the move without actually drawing it.
- Now we can actually paint the move over the animation frames by clicking Draw.
- Remember, Shift-M is the keyboard equivalent to display the Move requester.
- `Y Distance is vertical. Positiv values move up and negativ moves down.
- Y Distance is vertical. Positive values move up and negative moves down.
- Unless you position and stamp down the brush somewhere else,
- Additional Moves will continue where the last one ended.
- If you click Go Back, the brush will start at the last place you stamped down.
- `Positiv Z Distance moves the brush away from you. Negativ moves towards you.
- Positive Z Distance moves the brush away from you. Negative moves towards you.
- `X Angle ro tates the brush on its horizontal axis.
- X Angle rotates the brush on its horizontal axis.
- `Values are based on a complete ro tation being three hundred & sixty degrees.
- Values are based on a complete rotation being 360 degrees.
- `Y Angle ro tation spins the brush on its vertical axis.
- Y Angle rotation spins the brush on its vertical axis.
- `Positiv Z Angle values ro tate the brush clockwise.
- Positive Z Angle values rotate the brush clockwise.
- `NOTE: All ro tations take place around the brush handle.
- NOTE: All rotations take place around the brush handle.
- `So, you can change the way a brush ro tates by moving the brush handle.
- So, you can change the way a brush rotates by moving the brush handle.
- Well, that's it for the basics of the Move requester!
