Cool 3d and Flash to create three-dimensional titles

Mention the production of the title, many friends think of is to use 3DS Max, Primiere and other software. But for us rookie, it is not realistic to learn such advanced software in order to make a title. So do we give up the dream of the title? No! Our rookie has rookie method, with easy to learn cool 3d plus popular flash can create a wonderful three-dimensional title.

Realize the idea:

The three-dimensional titles in this paper are cool 3d 3.5 and Flash MX cooperation products, using cool 3d to make the title animation of the three-dimensional material required, and then exported as SwF animation, using Flash MX to import three-dimensional material animation, and then processing synthetic soundtrack, So as to make a sound color and taste of three-dimensional flash cartoon head.

Production process:

Step one: Start cool 3D 3.5, open "visionary" (Figure 1), click "Object" under "Studio", and on the right you will see a lot of stereo items, select the "Maple Leaf" and drag and drop it into the animation window; Click the Size button on the toolbar to fit the maple leaf to the appropriate size; click Visionary "Bevel" under the object style, drag the last style onto the maple leaf of the animation window, so that the maple leaves have a stereo effect; Click Texture under Object styles, select a suitable texture to drag onto the Maple leaf, and click Halo under overall effects in visionary. Select the sixth (horizontal count) drag and drop on the maple leaf, and adjust the following parameters, width of 2, transparency of 10, soften the edge of "3" (Figure 2).

Step Two: Click the toolbar and enter 50 in frame number (Figure 3); Click the Rotate button, enter "180" After Y, select "Animation" in the studio, drag the second animation to the Maple leaf, select "file →" Import to Macromedia Flash (SWF) "→" with bitmap ... "Command pop-up dialog box, enter the filename:" Flag ", and then saved to a folder, so that the Maple Leaf animation (logo. swf) on the production completed, in the back of the composite will be the logo in the title animation. Note: Cool 3D must be 3.5 or above, otherwise it cannot be exported to SWF format.

Step three: Select "File" → "new" recreate a file, select "image" → "Size ...", set the width to "500", the height of "200", the unit is "pixel", click Insert Text in the Toolbox, pop Up the dialog box, enter "Dream Studio" and set the font size, etc. (Figure 4), Then add the appropriate "bevel" and "texture" to the text (Figure 5); Click Toolbars, enter "30" in "Frame Count", select "Explode" in "Object Effects" under "visionary", drag the Nineth explosion effect onto the text, and then save the text animation in SWF format with the filename "text." Through the three steps above, the three-dimensional material needed in the animation of the title is produced.

Fourth step: Start Flash Mx, create a new file and save, press CTRL+J to open the document properties box, set wide to "640", High to "480", and background color "black"; press Ctrl+f8 to make a movie clip named "Flag" and then press Ctrl+r to import the " Flag. swf animation, you can see that the animation is automatically placed on each frame, right click on the last frame, select animation to open the script input box, and enter the following statement: "Stop ();" (Fig. 6); Create a new text movie clip, and then use the same method to import the text animation (text. swf) and add the Stop statement; so the three-dimensional material produced by cool 3D is imported into flash, they are stored in the Flash library, press Ctrl+l to open the library.

Fifth step: Press Ctrl+f8 to create a graphic object called "Star", draw a simple star using the drawing tools in the Toolbox (Figure 7), press Ctrl+f8 to create a movie called "Star flashing", drag the "Stars" in the library to frame 1th, and press F6 at the 15th and 30 frames to insert keyframes , select "Stars" in frame 1th, and click the Properties button below the Demo window. Set its transparency (Alpha) to "0" (Figure 8), also set the transparency of "stars" in frame 30th to "0", select Frame 1th Right-click, select Create motion Tween, and also select the 15th frame to create a motion tween. When you press ENTER, you can see the star blinking effect.

Step Sixth: Press Ctrl+f8 to create a movie called "Stars", insert three keyframes by F6, and add the following actions for three frames, respectively.

Frame 1th: num = 0;

Frame 2nd: if (num>60) {

num = 0;

}

_root.star.stop ()//star is the instance name of the "star flashing" movie, which is set later.

_root.star._x = random (640);

_root.star._y = random (480);

_root.star.duplicatemovieclip ("star" +num, num);

num = num+1;

Frame 3rd: gotoAndPlay (2);

Seventh Step: Click the "Scene 1" button to return to the demo window, select "Insert" → "layer" insert four new layers, from the bottom to the next named: Control, Music, stars, text, signs; Drag the flag movie from the library to frame 1th of the flag layer, and then press F5 at frame 100th to insert a blank keyframe; Frame 40th of the text layer, press F6 to insert the keyframe, and then drag and drop the text movie in the library into the frame; drag the "stars flashing" and "stars" movie onto the 1th frame of the "starry Layer", press F5 at frame 100th to insert a blank keyframe, select the Star Flicker movie, click the Properties button, and enter the instance name. Star. "

Eighth step: Press Ctrl+r to import a piece of music, the rhythm is stronger, then drag from the library to frame 1th of the music layer, press F5 at frame 100th to insert a blank keyframe, and then click the Properties button setting as shown in Figure 9, press F6 at the 100th frame of the control layer, and then add "Stop ()". Statement. Select file → export movie to save the animation in SWF format. Double-click the animation to enjoy the effect: The Dark night sky, starry sky, accompanied by music, a three-dimensional maple leaf from far to near, rotating and emitting a halo, the following fragments combined into three-dimensional text (Figure 10).

It is worth mentioning is: Such an animation "weight" only 680K, also said that a floppy disk can be installed two such animation, this is absolutely not comparable to other software.

Summary: From the production process is not difficult to see, this example fully use the cool 3d in three-dimensional advantages, make up for the Flash MX in this respect, the use of flash on the material to reorganize and dubbing, so very clever to achieve the complementarity between the software, and finally produced a good title effect.
