Snowglobe styles and tutorial....

[Lin Evans]

First let me apologize for my speech in this tutorial. A stroke took my ability to speak and I'm still trying to recover. I have created a tutorial to demonstrate how to use the series of snowglobe styles. In the links below are the zipped styles themselves as well as the zipped video tutorial. I will remove this post after the holidays but thought it might be something which could be of general interest in the meantime.

Best regards,

Lin

EDIT  One thing I neglected to mention in the tutorial is that if you want the time for the display of the globe to be less than one minute, AND if you want the snowfall to remain the same speed, change the time in the SLIDE OPTIONS. If you change the time in the style before applying, it will affect the speed of snowfall. A shorter duration vial the style adjustment before applying will result in faster snowfall. Because the snowfall is a constant speed via PNG movement, changing the display time in the SLIDE OPTIONS does not affect the speed of snowfall.

Hi Lin,

Not a lot of snow around Sydney at this time of year, but I always appreciate the time and effort you put into this forum.

I'm upset to hear about your setback and hope you are soon100% again.

Just add an 'i' in 'ln' to get 'lin'.  Just a typo.

Thanks Alan and Robert - I'm making slow but steady progress - waiting right now on the Veteran's Administration to approve an extension to my speech therapy. Because the end of the fiscal year came early in my scheduled therapy, I had to be re-approved and it takes about six weeks to get it done so I'm in limbo for a while until the approval is done and I can get back into therapy. 

Best regards,

Lin

Works now.  Thanks.

Hi Lin,

I've just found this and have been having fun playing around with the different options, thanks for putting it together.  I hope you're soon out of "limbo" and back with the speech therapist (if you're not already) and that you're soon back to full strength.

take care.
