Application examples in the FWMX2004 of the shape of the series of tutorials, has shown the Toolbox Shapes Tool Group Star (Star) tool produced a deformed flower effect, do not know whether you remember, here we once again made a deformation flower effect, as shown in the following figure:
If you have a thorough study of the star tools, it should be a new way to achieve this effect, because we in the FWMX2004 to achieve this effect can be said to be easy, do not believe, please follow me!
1, open FWMX2004, new file, size, background color random.
2. Select the Star Drawing tool for the Shapes Group of the Toolbox and draw a star in the editing area, which by default is the pentagram. As shown in the following illustration:
3, through the previous learning we know that the current editing area to draw the Star object a total of 5 adjustment control points, we can adjust the 5 control points for further editing operations. To facilitate subsequent narratives, we also numbered several control points for the star object. As shown in the following illustration:
4, select the 1th control point, drag downward, the purpose of this step is to reduce the number of star-shaped object angle, just to the 5 corner star into 4 angular star can be, as shown in the following figure:
5, select 2nd Point, with the mouse to the center of the graphics drag the control point, until the following figure shows the graphic:
6, at the moment our drag operation has begun to work, still select the 2nd control Point, continue to the center of the graphic drag until the effect of the following diagram is produced:
7, note that at this moment, select the 5th control Point, to the center of the graph to drag the control point, that is, drag the mouse below, the graphics will have a new shape to show, please see the following figure:
Drag in
After dragging
8, Oh, is not a wonderful graphic effect has been shown in front of us? Don't worry, the next operation will result in more stunned you. Or select the number 1th adjustment control Point, this time we drag the mouse over to increase the number of star-shaped objects, the following figure operation Demo:
Drag in
After dragging 9, oh, deformation of the "flower" has appeared, and our tutorial is over.
So it seems that this effect is really very simple, but some friends may ask, since the final will also have to increase the number of star-shaped angle, then why in the first step to reduce the number of horns, should be the pen of the lily? Personally think that the main idea is to let you understand the operation of the number 1th point more thoroughly! and become 4 corner star, the picture appears more clean and tidy, easy to reference practice!
PostScript: If you are not satisfied with the resulting "flower" shape, you can still deform the shape of the "flower" by adjusting the control points of the star object. We just used the 1th, 2nd, 5th control points, you can use the 3rd, 4th control points to the "flower" to do further deformation treatment. The following graphical effects are achieved by irregular adjustments to the various adjustment points, the specific operation I also difficult to say clearly, because each person's rotation angle, the scaling strength difference, produces the effect naturally will also be different, quickly hands, opens belongs to own "the flower"!
