How to create vector growth animations

Hi,
How do I create those animated vector graphics effects make popular in MTV promos, in which a graphic simulates growth with patterns reveals itself in different stages. Something similar to animated hand writing.
I know it has something to do with animated mask, but I have tried, it is quite difficult to manage the mask to reveal different portion as intended.
Is there an easier way that I do not know of?
An example of the animation can be found at

Please advise
Thanks
Ken

Hi Adam,
Thanks for the info, and yes your project is exactly what I am looking for, however, I am still on Motion 2, your project is done on Motion 3.
I think this effect can be done on motion 2 or do I need motion 3 to execute this effect? Is it possible to export a version to motion 2?
Neverthelss thanks for your help, will try to search fo more help in the forum regarding this.
regards
Ken

How to create Vector with reference to Collection

hello experts,
can someone let me know how to create vector with reference to Collection interface.
Collection is an interface. and we cant create an instance of it. i'm not clear of what to pass in that constructor.
Vector v = new Vector (Collection c);
what are the possible objects of 'c'
post some example code please.
thanks

Ever heard of reading the javadocs?
"Collection is an interface. and we cant create an instance of it." - you don't understand interfaces, then.
// I certainly can create a Collection - here's one
Collection c = new ArrayList();
// Now I'll add some Strings to my Collection.
c.add("foo");
c.add("bar");
c.add("baz");
// Now I'll make a Vector out of it.
Vector v = new Vector(c);%

How to create vector portrait like the images as attached

i want to create these kind of portrait. How will I do ...

Pen tool to create the vector shapes and gradient mesh tool to make smooth transitions for the highlights and shadows. Illustrator doesn't have a function or tool that creates images like these.. Only the basic tools to create images like these. This question is kind of like what is the method to create an oil painting on canvas. you use a brush and paint to create the desired image..l
I Know that's not helpful but it's the answer.. Here's a decent start regarding how to begin vectorizing an image in this fashion..

Is your monitor well calibrated?
Did you print it locally on your own printer before sending it out?
After you've exhausted everything else, you might consider creating a small test file with the offending gradient, and physically carry it to one of the printing locations, and speak to a technician there. Honestly, it sounds like a profile mismatch, but if this has happened at multiple Kinkos locations, then I agree, it would seem the problem is most likely in the file.
Have you looked at individual channels? (R,G,B)
One other idea: you say it's olive to black ... you could try an olive gradient from 100% opacity to 0% opacity, placed over a solid black layer, (or alteratively, a similar black gradient over solid olive) and see if that improves the output. Beware, some printers are really bad at 0%-5% values. If the gradient is going from 100% of one color to 0%, this might be contributing to the problem. Try going from 100% to 5% if this is the case.
One last thing: can you post a portion of the offending area of the image here?

How to create vector X(n) = [x(n) x(n-1) x(n-2).........x(n-N+1) in labview

i want to create an input signal vector X(n) = [x(n) x(n-1) x(n-2).........x(n-N+1)

This question is quite ambiguous, because you don't really define anything, but you could try "array subset" and "reverse array".
Can you give an actual example of an input array and desired output?

How to create snow falling animation?

Hello !
I am a new to use motion 5 and final cut pro x , and i have filmed a scene arround my house i would like to add a layer of falling snow using motion 5 can you please give a little help ?

Funny you should ask. A friend of mine just sent me this link that even includes a great technique for creating unique snow flakes.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rL3pjpkOFDU
In addition to the snow flake technique in the link, here are some techniqes I've used when creating snow.
-Make sure to vary the scale of the particle cells, this will help simulate depth for the scene.
-if you need something basic, just use a circle shape.
-Apply the Random Motion behavior to the particle cell, to simulate drag.
-To really create some nice depth, Create 3, 2D emitters and make sure to vary them a bit with lower birth rates, you don't want to much snow. Put them in a 3D group and add a camera. Then seperate them out to create a forground, mid ground and background set of areas. Enable Depth of Field and adjust the settings so front and back are slightly out of focus, but the mid ground is in focus. This method is a little more processor intensive, but yeilds really nice results. Again, just don't use too many particle cells.
IMHO, snow is a really fun thing to play around with. You can make it as realistic or styalized as you want, you can can make it feel light and airy, or like a heavy blizzard. Have fun trying the different settings but I'd recomend the following every time:
-Randomize the scale of the cells in the emitter.
-Make sure you have a long enough life so the flakes don't disapear half way through your animation.
-Randomize the birth rate.
-Randomize the speed a little bit.
Have fun!!!

How to create particular loop

Hi
Can anyone tell me how to create my particular animation into a loop? The two main problems:
- How to make the first and last frames "match", so the animation looks fluently.
- At the moment it fades in and that is not allowed (since I need to export the movie as a loop).
Here's the animation file: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/175241/how_to_make_it_loop.aep

How can I create an arrow animation for my map

Hi all ,
I am new and would like to create an arrow animation moving to show a path on my map.
how can I show this arrow animation on my jpg image?
do I have to convert my image to gif first?
do you have any tutorial for this so please show me.
it would be better to be a step by step so I can better underestand each step.
Iam using fireworks mx2004.
thanks for any help.
Regards

The JPEG format does not support animation, so if you want to add a moving arrow to a map, you'd need to make an animated GIF or a Flash movie.
If your map is a large image, then adding the frames to make an animated GIF could make very big file and that wouldn't be good. Another thing to keep in mind is that a JPEG image can have millions of colors but an animated GIF can only have 256. If your map is a line art (a drawing), then usually the GIF or PNG formats give you a better result, anyway as the JPEG format introduces noise and color shifts which are normally not noticed on photographs.
I searched Google for "animated gif in fireworks mx" and this tutorial looks like it might be helpful:
http://www.disdatdesigns.com/fireworks/animation1.shtml
In your case, you would share your map across the frames and each new frame would have a different arrow on it.
Good luck!

@OP, "filthy rich clients" is a good resource for quick animations.
check [their website|http://filthyrichclients.org/]
watch [this great tutorial video|http://www.parleys.com/display/PARLEYS/Home#title=Filthy%20Rich%20Clients;slide=24;talk=7643]
and download the [timing framework|http://swinglabs.org/]
it may seem overwhelming but if you watch the video you see how simple it is.
the animated transitions are great too. it does all the work for you after your pass it 2 panels.
also, you should post these questions in the Swing forum.

qui nox,
You may, with the stroke/nofill red star on top of the blue bubbles in the (Layers palette) stacking order:
1) Select everything and Object>Clipping Mask>Make;
2) Direct Select the (formerly) red star and reapply its red stroke.
You may also start by making a copy in front of the red star and use the original in 1); that will make the copy a separate object on top of the Clipping mask.
