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.
