Tomuk Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Hi! All,It's that annoying Limy from Liverpool with another question.How fast can you make a bids wing flap? (I am looking for a Hummingbird effect).I have made an attempt but I have only one way of getting my project file on the Air and that is to use Dropload and for that I need an e-mail address to send the link to.As I would particularly like….JPD, The Hawk, Lin Evans, Al Robinson and Ken Cox to comment and not forgetting Igor of course, I would be very grateful if one or more of those would volunteer to receive the file and if possible post it on the forum so others can join in on any learning points.Looking foreword to any replies.Tom.

thedom Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I thought of The Dom's site but I believe he will only host links or am I wrong?.Tom,No problem at all, you can send it to me by mail or use dropload, I would be glad to host your project. A collaborative work is a perfect way to try to achieve what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPD Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 you can also download it here too. I downloaded it.I have just to say the same thing that I put in the help of the second file I did for helicopter, you don't need to have so big picture for the bird and wing with the same quality (maybe better).With a 118 x 118 size picture for the bird and 97 x 42 for the wings are enough to have exactly the same result.You can put this two objects that you first reduce of 39% and cut the transparents parts as children of the background in original mode. It's lighter for graphic memory (about 1.6Mb) and mainly for calculation, so it's smoother.It's possible to have only 80ms between keypoints, for lower values it begins to have problem on my PC.

But what the hell, it’s fast enough for most requirements.Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
