Lin Evans Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Hi Folks,With the season being upon us, at least in those parts of the world where it's presently winter (sorry Australia!) I thought it might be nice to provide a way to very quickly and efficiently animate your winter scenes with snow.To this end, I have made several tutorials including the latest one which shows you how to copy and paste one of my snow animations from the Christmas Snow Cube Template and use this with any image. It takes less than 60 seconds to animate any image you choose with a nice snowfall by using this method. The animation runs 60 seconds and you can, of course, duplicate the same slide indefinitely and run the animation as long as desired.Just download the tutorial here: #22http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7901&st=0#entry49109You can also download the zipped PTE Christmas Snow Cube tutorial and template at the same location, or from the "Templates" section of the forum under my name.Best regards,Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin Evans Posted December 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hey Tom,Humboldt county is pretty temperate for sure. But the nice thing is that you can go east a bit and have all the snow you want - LOL. I thought it might be easier for most to just use the animation rather than go through the rather laborious process of creating their own "snow" PNG files. I remember it took me many hours of experimentation when I first began playing with the idea of animating snow. It took quite a while to get things the way I wanted them and over time I've made a few dozen different snow effects which I save and use for different types of snow, but the one in my snow cube is pretty generic. It's easy enough to just change the slide display time to speed up the snowfall without having to change the three PNG files pan speed, etc.I hope a few users will read the post and find out just how easy and quick it can be - LOL..Best regards,Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Beckham Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I think it might be quite nice to make it snow on the sunshine coast of Australia when its 34c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin Evans Posted December 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hey Barry,You have the "POWER" to control the weather! LOL. A few years ago I was in Sydney at Christmas and almost had a heat stroke! The only salvation was the incredible beach. In 1968 I was there in August and it was freezing! I just had to do something about the weather - HA!Best regards,Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
