How they make something like this, wow !?

please visit first of all:
www.flashmedia.mxhost.ro/clouds.html (+800 Kb no-preloader. wait)


can anyone tell me how was this build?
any ideeas ? or tell me just the technique of how to build a loop like that. how are the ending and the begining of the animation such connected ?

is that techinque of mirroring the animation ? start-to-end then added end-to-start ?

I guess you could film cloud movement, speed it up and add some kind of starburst effect or motion blur to the clouds.

 

[radd]

and what's the software that does effects like that ?
afterEffects has something to so with ?

also...
how is it made as an infinite loop ?
how are the endings and begining connected ?

You can make infinate loops on Adobe Imageready, but that isn't flash.

you can save SWF from ImageReady but i'm not sure if you can create loops like that with ImageReady. are you sure about that ?

 

[LeetPCUser]

I know image ready does an infinate loop. If you had the last scene at the peak and then downstepped it to then blend with the first frame it could be done.

ok i got that tight.
but how can you create something like that.

do you think it's a video recorded or something made with AfterEffects or rended with Maya and stuff ?

thanks

Looks like some kind of loop, but thats all i can tell.

Must have been hard imo to make...

 

[jmcallister]

those loops are actually video loops that they created in adobe golive, 3d studio max or some other animation program then import into flash, if you check out flashloaded.com they have a video loops section which has some good examples of similar types of effects... another program I have used some is particle illusion which has some amazing effects.

 

[radd]

and particle illusion will make them a loop ?
the biggest question for me is how can anyone join the start and the endining so perfectly making an absolute contignous loop?

 

[weblord]

how about an in-between?

how about an in-between?

what's that ? that's the technique ?
