animation

Figment

Here is a little flash animation/navigation thingy im working on in flash 5 at the moment.
Just wondering what you think so far?
The navigation will be on the signpost (which is clickable at the moment).

im not sure what style to put the 'look' into yet. Up till now i have just concentrated on the animation.


The road and sign i created in 3d max to get the rotation realistic and the figure i created in illustrator then traced the joints of a walking figure from poser.

Anyone have a pointer to a good online flash 5 tutorial which clearly explains how to make all those really complex games and movies?

Kewl animation figgy,

Did u use the Vectra 3d plugin for the sign? and road?

Nah, swift 3d. The stand alone app. I then used a section of the model turning and repeated it so it looks as if its turning forever and cut down on file size. I then cut the sign out of it into a seperate flash movie clip so that i could 'turn' the sign in seperatly and when i wanted.

Idea:
Put 4/5 signposts on the first sign which when one is clicked it skips to the subsection menu. That make sense?
like news may have current, archives, update etc y'know.
just a thought

thats one of two options i havnt decided on yet. The other is a nav bar along the top and the sign post just indication where you are now. Im worried that a few signs on the post might make it too bulky.

I havnt had that much time to spend on it lately but i got it roughly working this weekend. see what you think:

Wow, the animation is pretty damn cool.

The fact that the text just stays there could be improoved though.

Also,
The signpost seems to come up a little too quickly, but I guess that has to be the case otherwise it would take ages.

TBH I think that the whole animation thing would be better as a plain aniation piece or a continuous one rather than something to be used as navigation.

Keep up the good work though,
it's exellent.

I like the way the birds fly in the background - keeping the animation alive even when it's not "doing" anything. A bit more of that might be good however - say smoke coming from the buildings or the clouds floating steadily past...

great work
