Task: Find out how to make 3D rotating titles in Flash
Timeline: 2 class periods
Goals: Answer all the following questions, and make a complex rotating
title.
Starting:
Use 3DFlashAnimator to make a new movie project.
Add a 3D Title element
Add events to do the rotations
Questions:
Make an event to rotate 360 deg around the X-axis. Describe what that
looks like.
Describe the diffference between +360 and -360 deg.
Make an event to rotate 360 deg around the Y-axis. Describe what that
looks like.
Describe the diffference between +360 and -360 deg.
Make an event to rotate 360 deg around the Z-axis. Describe what that
looks like.
Describe the diffference between +360 and -360 deg.
Make your title rotate first around the X-axis, wait, then rotate around
the Y-axis, wait,
and then rotate around all 3 axes at once, making a complex motion, like
the example above.
Complex Title:
Make a 1 word title, where the INDIVIDUAL LETTERS are actually separate 3-D
titles.
Now create actions so that individual letters rotate independently, perhaps
one after another,
in a variety of directions.
