Often see a friend asked how to make "Pixel brush light" (hey, I do not know whether the word is accurate), that is, do the pendant often do the kind of light point flow effect. Although I have seen a lot of related tutorials, but, personal feeling tutorials are a bit complicated and tedious; for example, if the pixel pattern is irregular, you have to do a dot of the same size, and then according to the direction of the pixel, by moving the dots one by one to cover the pixel to complete, very troublesome, if too many pixels, it is time-consuming and laborious, and can be imagined.
Below, the brothers to provide children's shoes a way of making ideas, perhaps not the best way, but relative to the previous method, this should be relatively simple and quick. Please advise me of the deficiencies.
1. Draw a heart-shaped pattern with a 13-pixel brush.
2. New layer, with more than 13 pixel brush to uniform short Line (here is 15 pixels, the goal is to be able to completely cover the plot points but not too large, so as not to affect adjacent dots).
3. Based on the observation of the composition of the heart-shaped pattern and the direction and angle of the dots, we edited a line that contained four different angles. The line consists of a horizontal, vertical, plus or minus 45-degree total of 4 and lines.
4. Turn on the animation (timeline) palette; Time and frame numbers are set in principle according to the number of dots in the graph, for example, the heart shape is composed of 41 dots, if we set the time to 4 seconds, the number of frames should be 10 frames per second, but 4 seconds is a bit too long, so set to 3 seconds, should be greater than 13 frames per second, This is set to 15 frames to leave some margin to facilitate editing.
