cut scene tests

This video uses the mask along a path to create the loading bar, this was really time consuming despite it looking like quite a simple animation. You have to draw a vector path in illustrator and then paste it into the path channel of your background. You then have to use the paint brush tool and set it via the alpha channel to follow the vector path. You automate this with the keyframes end path and start. to make the line appear you have to automate end at 0 and then push that up to 100 over a period of time. It works best over a period of about half a second. to change the line into circles you change the line spacing to a larger value. Really happy with this.



Cut scene with a light added, gives the animation a little more depth. I think it would benefit from having the texture over the top that I have been using. I will upload that onto a post. - Ive also done a redirecting cut scene for when you select "back" on any menu.
