Flash CS4 Tutorial - 3D Transformation and Rotation

[GhostRyley]

Epic tut many thanks

[sharonhart12345]

Thank you Thank you, finally just what I was looking for.

[ikalwewe]

it is possible with actionscript 2 though right?

[yamahac315]

thank u very much for ur tutorial, it helpful. i have a question, can u explain to me, how to combine object 3D in flash, example : object from Autocad. so it look really solid when using transformation n' rotation. tanx a lot..

[Juliian09]

Which kombination for 3D? Pleas answer

[elysianveae]

great help, thanks. i dont know if you are still checking this, but I am wondering how I can switch the image/movie clip midway through the rotation animation (I have 3 differerent logos that I want to rotate in succession).

[killaa359]

yo maybe you could post the codde in the description box instead of making us look at it on youtube's shit quality. since i cant read the code the video is completely useless

[tech713]

excellent resource.

[MegaGribble]

How do you make the clip stop once the it has achieved a couple of rotations?

[nusphere]

Wow this is Fantastic, thank you for this video. As well as controlling the animation with code can you set Keyframes for more complex animation?

[Truthiness231]

OMG total lifesaver! I've been doing small projects like this with PPV and it takes like 15 minutes to do what can be done in 15 seconds this way... now I can't help but wonder what else I've been missing using CS3 instead of CS4... *goes to study "bones"*

anybody can answer my question? basically i made a movie symbol and inside it i do the 3d animation, very simple one just flipping animation for my button. the problem is whenever i move the movie symbol around the animation inside starts to warp in a different angle. how do i fix this?

[GentileAgainstWars]

"the movie symbol around the animation inside starts to warp in a different "

It's because of the vanishing point, which is set for the stage. You can't have different vanishing points for different movieclips.

[markbriones3]

yeah thanks for the reply. actually you can i did a research in adobe forums. movieclips can have their own vanishing point using codes.

[GentileAgainstWars]

You're right. I looked into it too, and it can be done in the tools panel too. The last button toggles between local and global. When local the 3D space is relative to the parent movie clip.

[GentileAgainstWars]

The Global/local toggle didn't seem to be affect the vanishing point after all. I tested with 2 movieclips on the main timeline and one movieclip inside of each. Changing the vanishing point inside one clip affected both of the movieclips on stage in local mode as well as global mode.

[markbriones3]

like i said.. only using codes. cheers.

[goranification]

what letter is that?

[lakamas11]

Indeed.For designers is much easier to do the animation in the timeline and not by code.You have more control of what you see like this.

[Crazedanims]

cant you do the same thing with a tween.

[GentileAgainstWars]

I think one advantage may be if you want to animate Up, Over and Down state of a button. Since you don't need to create motion tween to get the symbol going.

[testing1sim]

yea i wouldve prefrred that.

[RakionTube]

There is no code!!!

[Seigu007]

What is with you actionscript monkeys? cant you animate on a timeline like a normal person? Duhhh lets code to and make things more difficult.

[fgxdx85]

there is no code, it's all in the GUI

[inquestHELP]

does flash cs4 3d tool render as well like any 3d program?

[zchryfrk]

no it isnt really 3d it just gives you the ability to rotate a 2d object on a z axis

[bagno000]

sir please tell me what is this code

[muhsinm6]

can anyone pls. tell me what is this code. i cant see it clearly.

plsss help me guys. thanx.

[GentileAgainstWars]

"can anyone pls. tell me what is this code"

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_F­RAME, rotate3d);

function rotate3d(e:Event):void {

instanceNameUpToU.rotationX += 4;

}

[WilliamSWoodruff]

This code adds an event listener to the main stage to fire the function "rotate3d" every frame.

you have to accept the event that enterframe will be sending or youll get an error.

Inside rotate3d, which is called every frame, it is just rotating a MovieClip around the 3D X axis by 4.

just replace "instanceNameUpToU" with your own instance name and see what happens.

This only works in Flash CS4

[malanga13]

if you listen to the video carefully, the response to your question one by one is there.

[cidoumou]

thank you.

very helpful

[zu41245]

Is there a way to make this action stop at a later frame? It just keeps looping and I'd like this to end at a certain frame (lets say 200) to correspond the end of a different animation

[PurBakVideo2]

make new layer

make keyframe on frame 200

right mouse --> actions

type stop();

[fergiefan315]

Wow, this would be spectacularly helpful if the code was posted. As is, not so much.

[Steffenevers]

so, you cant make the object thicker?

[stylakidd]

if only I could get this in high quality. do you have the actual text for that command? it might help me get started cause i cant really see it, even with the &fmt=18.

thanks. from england

[azek13]

I can't see the code, no good.

[Dattebayo05]

Omg i give up this is too complicated, it doesnt seem that hard when other people do it I give up.

[TheOpus111]

one question, do you need to draw a person again if you wannt the camera to to be looking at it from another angle??

[schoolofflash]

If I understand your question correctly, then yes. You can't really draw 3D objects in Flash. You can only move and rotate flat, 2-dimensional objects around in 3D space. Technically, you could MAKE a 3D object out of a bunch of flat, 2D objects, but that would be more trouble than it's worth. That what 3D programs like Swift3D are for, and Swift ties in seamlessly with Flash.

[yamahac315]

@schoolofflash : thank u very much for ur tutorial, it helpful. i have a question, can u explain to me, how to combine object 3D in flash, example : object from Autocad. so it look really solid when using transformation n' rotation. tanx a lot..

[8MCDonalds8]

Cool vid but not what I was lookin for. Might not b able 2 do it with wut i hav tho.

[schoolofflash]

What were you looking for?

[8MCDonalds8]

im not sur wut its cald but, 3d in depth and movement. like i can take the letter "R" and make it thick front to bak so wen u have a side view it has a certain width, wutevr i might want it 2 b. kinda like those spopngy letters kids use in the tub. they hav a certain amount of thickness. i basically wanna make something that looks identical to that and be able to do evrything in this vid with it. i was told id need AE and that requires much more ram than i hav. this will hav to do 4 now tho.

[r3dskyato2dotpl]

try papervision3d

[8MCDonalds8]

ill luk into it thanks for the info

[felipeedoardo]

you're creating a new symbol and going to edit mode, you're not supposed to do that. you have to select the text and choose Convert to Symbol.

[Eddyisthebestamazing]

what is a collin? help

[Eddyisthebestamazing]

What is the code? tell me please cant c anything

[nazariof]

Mi movie clip moves choppi when animating... why is that?

[Farzher]

Because your max FPS is at 12, make it higher.

[mazerollef]

I have recently bought your video tutorial "Intro to Flash CS4" and I am eager to download the forthcoming lessons on "flash CS4 with 3D". I Hope that there will be some lessons on how to link it to google sketchup which does a very goog job in 3D. Also, I would appreciate if you could demonstrate the AS3 part with a zoom, because it is hard to see what you write. Least, could you explain the AS3 part using script assist, because some of your viewers, like me, are not AS3 experts ?

[fishbones99]

nifty.

thanks for the lesson.

[TouchMyWeenis]

at 4:16 can that sort of thing be done in CS3?

[LionelAre]

this kinda looks like word art from microsoft word

[Yotambientuve20]

COOL..

[sporefart]

Could you please paste the code in the info section?

[egoriskarma]

I second this could you please paste the code into the info. section. I am actually using your tutorial as inspiration for a contest that I am entering.

[tjford123]

that is good idea please post code thanks

[KraysKreations]

nice man!
