Tip #18 - Spinning Objects in Photoshop |
Start with any image that you want to spin.
Duplicate it many times (ALT+I+D). |
 |
 Go
to IMAGE/IMAGE SIZE and un check the
"Proportions" box. Now decrease the
length by 5 or 10 pixels in the second image. |
 |
Continue to do this for all the other frames
decreasing the size smaller and smaller every
time until there is nothing left. |
 |
 Now
go back to each picture and hit CTRL+I+S (Canvas
Size) and increase the size of the frame back to
the original length. |
 |
 As
your last few steps, convert the 1st frame of
your animation to "index color" and
then convert the rest of the frames with the
setting of the "Previous" image
(ALT+M+I+P). Now save each frame as a different
gif file. Now load Gif Construction Set &
import all of your frames. Then copy the 2nd to
last frame and make it your last frame. Continue
this until you reach the 1st frame (the flat
image). This creates the rotating effect on your
image. (In the CONTROL settings in GCS, I set the
dark gray color to be transparent color. Because
the palettes is the same for each image all grays
were taken out.) Save your animation and your
done.Note: This tutorial is if you want to see just the front of the image. If you want to see the front & back as if it is spinning a complete 360 degrees. Duplicate the images, then take one set of copies and flip them horizontally. Another Note: This tip is to create an illusion of a spinning object. Most of the 3D animations that I have created have to be done in a 3D program and can't be done with a paint program such as Photoshop. |
