I think it looks pretty cool - Apple Motion? Adobe After Effects? Both? If something else, can someone give me their best guess as well as what books to buy to learn how to do this?
Already have a good 2007 FCP book (Apple Certified) and would like to get all the FCP (and other applications (Motion, Soundtrack, et-cetera) books.
Thanks.

Doubt they used Motion. Anything you see with rendered 3d models is usually cinema 4d or maya mixed with AE. Motion doesn't do model rendering (yet). So 3D stuff like walls or bank vaults, or whatever, is probably done with some other modeling software, in conjunction (typically) with AE.

How was this page made? [subject edited by moderator]

Hi, I am new to making websites so please forgive me my basic questions. I have seen a site that I really like and am wondering how it was made, and whether it can be made with DW. It is called africatravelresource.com. Could some one explain to me whether they have just linked 100s of background images or is this a really cool slider they are using with transparencies? Thank you for your help

You're asking a weird question there, boiled down it becomes "How do I do what you do, without doing what you do?"
It's difficult to answer.
If you're a graphic designer trying to make a quick website for yourself, Adobe Muse would probably be a better fit than Dreamweaver. You might be able to get something similar built there without understanding the underlying code. However, the drag and drop capabilities of Muse can create some exceptionally complex html. If you start your site off in Muse, it should stay there.
If you're not a designer to begin with, maybe one of those "create your own website" companies has a template you could use by clicking through their build process that has similar features to what you want. I have no experience with them, but some of the things I've seen are actually pretty decent from a few of them.
WordPress does offer some interesting themes. You might look into that if your hosting company offers WP installations. But if that's the route you choose, DW and Muse would be left out entirely. DW can be used to create a theme (by professional PHP coders), but once the site is "live" you pretty much only use the WP admin panel to make changes.

How was this site made. Need HELP!

Hi everyone
It's the first time I post here, so I hope some will understand my problem.
I recently came upon this site http://weightshift.com and loved how they had made it dynamic or I think liquid. No mater how much it is scaled it looks great. It can be viewed on an iPhone, perfectly fitting the screen. Also when the site is scaled down and reaches a certain size, the logo jumps above the Contact and about buttons.
I am currently studying at TAFE for Cert. IV and my dreamweaver teacher has no clue. So I have to figure it out by myself.
Does anyone have any clue how this could be achieved. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advanced.
Manuel

No surprise your teacher doesnt get it. when I did the cert IV the 30 html tutorials we did revolved around how great table based layouts are. suffice to say I didnt listen to that rubbish, and unfortunately the curriculum is just a wee bit behind where it really should be.
what you are looking at is responsive design.
you wont get any real relevant information regarding this at w3schools, its more for basics.
it utilises media queries.
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-mediaqueries/
yes technically you can use the dw fluid grid layout, but i'd advise that you learn the process behind how to style accordingly with media queries before using someones already setup concept of how to do it. (and I've never done a site with just 3 media queries, sorry dreamweaver, thats just wrong.) I personally utilise (and each to their own with this) a min 320+ style, a 320-480 (or therabouts), 480-767 (or therabouts) (3x) 768-1024 (landscape, portrait and for desktops), 1025-1300 (or therabouts), 1301-1440 (or therabouts) and a 1440+. I always start mobile first
essentially the theory is to design your "design" flexible and where it "breaks" add a breakpoint. I try to make it not necessarily based on the device in theory but with the majority of phones sitting around the 320/640 mark, tablets around the 768/1024 mark. then laptops, desktops, and larger screens all seeming to congregate loosely around these higher figures...once youve set your parameters (and the above would cover the majority of devices) test, test, test!!!!
remember good ol' IE will struggle with this. there are many work arounds, some better than other. I usually just offer a fixed width site for IE.

How was this done - movable shape that changes percentage

I saw a presentation that had a pointer that the user could smoothly drag along a horizontal line, and when moving the pointer, the percentage underneath the pointer automatically changed. The pointer can be moved horizontally along the line, but cannot be moved vertically.
How was this done --- Is this something that can be accomplished in Captivate, or was it done in another program and inserted into Captivate? See two examples below.

AFAIK this can be done in Captivate, if you include some widgets (thinking about the Slider component widget of InfoSemantics). But widgets are not compatible with HTML5 output.
For HTML5, Edge Animate could produce that kind of interactivity as well, and you can embed an OAM package in Captivate, using the App packager in CP7, and right away in CP8.

How was this "flash" animation done?

How was this "Flash" animation done?
http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-templates/15812.html
There is a "flash" that goes down the sholder of a man in this Flash intro page. It is a series of jpg images. Do you know how this can be done or which program was used? I want to chage the page of it.
Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve,
I'm pretty sure it's done with a mask. You have the man picture layer and the border layout masked by a symbol (maybe a square or rectangle) above it.
If you want to know how to use mask in Flash, just ask Google. There is a bunch of tutorial on the web.
Hope it's a good start for you !

How was this done (Stacking)?

Hello!
How was this effect done? http://www.riccardomagherini.com/fine_art/, I think I know how it is finished in PS, but how do you shoot this?

Hi Alex,
this tool is usually called the Blur or soft-focus effect (translated from my German PS). Many programs offer this brush for applying to the effect. Often you can select the photo, create a soft edge selection and then make the selection using filter blurred or you yourself blur some of the image areas.
And we have the tool "Unsharp Mask". For this purpose, only the original image and a blurred version are required. The layer structure, however, shows good results only if your program supports 32-bit color depth, like Photoshop.
On the other hand, I'm sure you will get better explanations, by asking Riccardo Magherini himself at http://www.riccardomagherini.com/fine_art/contact/. I'm sure you will get answers marked of a professional competence and responsibility.

How was this SWF created?

Hi. How was this video created? It displays the name "Joe

http://www.cnnbcvideo.com/?nid=lRbWr4wkznBWkEcCraq91zQ5Njc2NA--&referred_by=14859716-SGF0a 4x
What software would you need? Any examples of how one might
create this? Thanks.
[Please note: I'm not responsible for the political content
of the video; I work for a non-profit who would like to create a
video like this for fundraising. Thanks.]

It could be one of the effects in Swish.

How was this made?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc8TNyT9MFc&feature=related
Was this made with a Motion/AE type software, or a true 3D animation software such as Maya or 3DSmax?

Probably both.

I ignored a message saying I was the millionth visitor. Was this wise? The message gave a long code, two telephone numbers (one in Paris) and a count-down time limit. It was this that made me suspicious.

A few days ago I received a message saying I was the millionth visitor and had won a prize which included money and a disneyland visit. I was given a long code, two telephone numbers (one in Paris) and a timed count-down of a few seconds (when I picked up the message). This made me suspicious and I ignored the whole thing. Was this wise?

Yes, ignoring a message like that was wise.
Maybe you are interested in a deal on real estate in southern Florida, like about halfway between Naples and Fort Lauderdale just south of I-75?

How has this author made their widget full screen by default

Get the sample of this book
http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/abc-animals/id502272114?mt=11
You can tap the word to hear it. It's clearly a widget right? But it doesn't behave like a normal html widget - it's full screen right from the start and doesn't have the x in the corner
how has this been done?

Try using a Keynote widget and check 'Full-Screen Only'.
Make a slideshow in Keynote, then build a landscape-only book.

Transitions... how was this done?

http://www.lounginrecordings.com/index_flash.html
notice the smooth transition from section to section... as if
the whole site is one continuous movie? how is this handled? is
this a "levels" and "root" thing (something i know nothing about
yet)?
thanks.

These type of transitions are the easiest. Let me explain how
it works.
From frame 1 to 10 you have some motion tween - fading in.
Than from frame 10 to 20 fading out, or motion out, like in
your example motion out.
On that 10th frame there is an action that picks a variable
and go to frame in a
movie clip accordingly. All the button does is sets variable
and play
the timeline, than timeline frame 10th action call the
content and while
the fading is done, the content has been changed.
Button :
on (release) {
_root.pa = 2;
_root.play();
than frame 10
MovieClipWithContent.gotoAndPlay ("p" + _root.pa);
Inside MovieCLipWithContent make labels p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 p6 p7
and so on....

How was this Steph Curry photo made?

Does anyone know how to do this or where can i find this online?

Interesting stuff. My first thought that it was like a combination of mosaic, only using random (manually made) triangles, and then a posterization to make each triangle a single color. Certainly something that could be done manually in Photoshop, but it'd take time. I searched around a bit and found success using "polygonal vector mosaic". That lead me to the buzz work "low-poly illustrations". Ton of stuff on it. Looks like most are using Illustrator with plugins, but I don't see why it couldn't be laid out with vector tools in PS - you just need a plugin to auto assign colors (or do it manually with the eyedropper). The vector tools aren't as advanced as Illustrator, but it's pretty simple operations.

How was this made? AMAZING!

Hey guys! I found these images and I would like to know how they were created. (see images below) Anyone know how this was made? What filters were used to get this effect? Thanks in advance for all of your help!

This sort of look nearly always starts with the lighting, and generally tends to use the same lateral light from both sides, with little or no fill on the camera axis. Check out Dave Hill, Chase Jarvis etc. for more of the same. From there it's reduce saturation and increase contrast and you are best part of the way there.

Was this visualizer made in after effects? If yes (most likely) I would love to know how to mimic it

I really like how to forms to techno and would like to be able to add it so songs in my library
If anyone has any ideas it would be fantastic!
I'm running 100% fully updated cs6 by the way

That's probably some 3D program e.g. Cinema 4D's Sound Effector tied to a couple of deformers. I'm not aware that any tool in AE renders blob surfaces in that manner. AtomKraft can, but it needs to import pre-baked particle clouds for this. So no, it's not something you would normally do in AE.

How was this program done?

Any ideas as to how this program was created?
It allows you to view a short 3d animation of each tecnique,
which you can also rotate left or right a full 360, or view from on
top...you can control playback speed and make either the attacker
or defender dissapear...
I am curious how the 3d space was created and then inserted
into an executable program...

I did not see the program, I have only seen the stuff
available on websites and that's
how we do it in Flash. Frame by frame, than action script to
control the frames.
Based on mouse move (distance in pixels) or coordinates of
the mouse versus the
clip size the movie jumps to corresponding frame. Most of the
360 done in such way.
The application could be done in Director. You said CXT and
these in fact are Director
Protected Cast Files. Director has 3d capabilities and is way
more powerful than flash
when comes to desktop delivery.
