Make a shape smash into a wall

so what I am trying to do is move a rectangle across the screen and hit a wall. (no problem doing that part)
when it hits the wall I want it to distort so that the trailing edge begins pushing towards the leading edge and then bends and distorts.
I'm certain this is a fairly simple effect.
I tried using digieffects freeform and warp mesh but I cant seem to keyframe the distortions for those effects.
If I cant find an answer here I will probably just keyframe transform but that seems like alot of effort for something that may already be an available effect.
thanks.

Here's a link to a tutorial for FreeForm that shows how to animate the distortion and get a "crumple" result:

You should be able to use the same basic idea for your purpose.
There are a lot of similar resources linked to from here.

  • My new iPhone 6 plus just went to a black screen and will not turn back on. If you hit the home button for siri to come on it still works, and if you plug it into the wall it makes the vibrate noise. The screen just won't turn on.

    I was looking up a song on the internet, and my internet was being slow, so i was going to the settings to turn internet/wifi off so i could use data. When i did that the screen just went completely black. I didnt know what happened so i plugged it into a circuit into the wall to see if it needed charging. It made the buzz noise when i plugged it into the charger, and siri still works if you hold the home button down. I don't know what to do to get it to turn back on... If anyone knows what to do please help. thanks !

    Hey there Maggie,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that can help you resolve the blank black screen issue with your iPhone 6 Plus.
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
    Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
    Reset your device while it's plugged in.
    If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.

    My iPhone will not work unless I plug it into my wall charger, It is fully charged but only works when it is plugged in to wall charger. When it is turned on it say "Restore needed iphone can not make or receive calls' i tried plugging it up to Itunes but it will not turn on to sync.

    First try a hard reset, press and hold the power button and home buttons until the phone restarts and displays the Apple Logo, then let go.
    If that doesn't work...
    Try forcing recovery mode and then restore with iTunes.

    My IPhone shut off by itself and I can't turn it back on. My lock screen button is broken and I tried plugging it into the wall but nothing happened. Can you guys please help me.

    IIf the battery was completely drained it might take some time before the phone will respond. Wait at least 30 minutes with the phone connected to the charger. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the phone starts up let it continue to charge until it's 100%.
    if the broken button will not let you do the reset Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Cant set up Airport Express. Trying to create a new wifi at my apartment complex that has provided wifi. I plug the ethernet into the wall in my room and I cannot connect to the wifi.. help please

    to help me set up my airport express to my public wifi at my apartment complex

    I am a bit lost if you have a public wifi why are you using ethernet into the wall.. is the ethernet just for your apartment.
    The Express can work as a wireless  bridge only to the public Wifi nothing else.. it cannot extend wireless.. so the express would need to plug into another router for you to get more than one single connection to the building.
    Also does your public wifi have a login page . .. because that will then make life much harder.

  • Is there a way to add shapes to the shape library, and does anyone make a shape library for electronic block diagrams?

    Hello!
    I'm trying to use Pages or Keynote to make electronic block diagrams.  The shapes library looks like it would be perfect for the job, but the shapes are limited.  I know I can make a custom shape, but I live with slight brain damage, which means the mouse is NOT my friend.  If I try to make custom shapes, they look like a kindergartener's scrawl, so that's not a solution.
    All of the online forums I've been to so far say to use Visio (ick!) and if your desired symbol is not there, make it yourself.  Well, several symbols are not there, and the first paragraph explains why this is a non-starter.
    I would gladly pay some reasonable fee for electronic shapes, such as amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, etc. if someone made them.  But from the help file I can't even see a way to add those shapes to the Apple shape library, so I'm not sure, other than copy and paste, how to handle outside shapes.  Copy and paste is pretty labor intensive anyway, but if it's my only option, well, so be it.
    Any suggestions?  Aside from Visio, that is...
    Thanks!
    Jim

    Hi Jim,
    When you say the "Apple shape library" do you mean the Shapes button on the toolbar in Pages?
    I don't think there is a way to add to the Shapes in Pages. However, you can create a custom template with shapes that you frequently use. Save a document with your shapes then Menu > File > Save as Template...
    This will be saved in My Templates folder, and you can open it with Template Chooser. You will still have to Copy and Paste a shape into the document you are working on. No way around that!
    I don't use Keynote, so I may be missing something in your question.
    Regards,
    Ian.

    Is it normal for someone to have general diffuculty charging an ipad?  I see the "not charging" message even when I am using the charger and cord that came in the original box, plugged into a wall socket directly.  It is normal for me to plug it in overnight and to see no charge whatsoever the next day.  I have never had so much trouble using a friggin charger in my life.  It just seems to be exceedingly finicky.  What am I missing?

    Charging your iPad should not be problematic. It should be an easy thing to do using the charger provided with your iPad connected to a known good wall outlet.
    The charging problem you are experiencing is most like caused by:
    1. A faulty charger
    2. A faulty cable
    3. A bad wall outlet
    4. A problem in the iPad.
    The first three of these are easiest to eliminate. Try a for ends charger and cable. Make absolutely sure your outlet is good. Try other outlets.
    If the charger, cable and outlet a proven to be good then the problem lies in the iPad.
    Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.      
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. You likely have a bad battery.

  • Can I make a "recolor artwork" into a graphic style?

    I may be over-thinking this:
    Let's say I have a logo that is made with one spot color, plus a gradient of that spot color and white. I want to quickly change the logo from one spot color to another. I can't make the new colors into a Graphic Style, since the logo has multiple fills. I can't just click on another spot color in the Swatches panel, because it fills all the shapes with 100% of that color.
    Is there a one-click solution for this? See example if my writing doesn't make sense

    I would defer to Wade's knowledge of typos.
    If your spot only shows up in your logo, you can replace the swatch with the new spot swatch.  Pick it as usual out of your library and then option drag the new swatch onto the old swatch. (you could also temporarily move to a new document to do it if you don't want to replace all instances of your old color, but at that point, live color seems more efficient...)

  • Is there any way to code via Extendscript "Make Compound Shape"?

    Hey there Adobe Community,
    tl;dr - How do you get ExtendScript to call "Make Compound Shape". It's to make comic book word bubbles.
    Full version:
    I'm trying to create a script that would create a word bubble based on a single line. The intended use should speed up the comic book lettering process. For this particular iteration, I'm trying to grab the pathPoints of one line, and use that to create the word bubble. However, I was really hoping to find a way to execute the code to "Make Compound Shape", so I can modify the balloon tail later, ie - non-destructive.
    Here's what I have so far.  Thanks to everyone in advance!
    D
    if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {     var doc = app.activeDocument;     var artLayer = doc.layers[0];     // CURRENT ITERATION: Find the one and only line, and extract it's begin and end point.     var pointEnd = doc.pathItems[0].pathPoints[1].anchor;     $.writeln("pointEnd" + pointEnd + "\n");     var pointBegin = doc.pathItems[0].pathPoints[0].anchor;     $.writeln("pointBegin = " + pointBegin + "\n");     //CREATE ELLIPSE     var ellipse = artLayer.pathItems.ellipse(pointBegin[1], pointBegin[0], 225.0, 225.0, false, true ); //([top] [,left] [,width] [,height] [,reversed] [,inscribed])     ellipse.stroked = true;         var data = {             "anchors": [                 [pointEnd[0]+2, pointEnd[1]+2],                 [pointBegin[0], pointBegin[1]],                 [pointEnd[0]-2, pointEnd[1]-2]             ]     }        // CREATE BALLOON TAIL     var linez = doc.pathItems.add();     linez.stroked = true;    // loop thru the data.anchors     for(var i in data.anchors){         var point = linez.pathPoints.add();        point.anchor = data.anchors[i];        // if it's not the first or the last...whatever, it's only 3 points, so just say 2        //if((i != data.anchors.length - 1)&& i!=0)        if(i == 2){             point.rightDirection = [pointBegin[0]+2, pointBegin[1]-2];             alert("rightDirection: " + point.rightDirection);             point.leftDirection = [pointBegin[0]+2, pointBegin[1]-2]; //data.anchors[i];             alert("leftDirection: " + point.leftDirection);         } else {             point.rightDirection = data.anchors[i];             point.leftDirection = data.anchors[i];         }     }     ellipse.selected = true;     linez.selected = true;     //NEED HELP HERE!!!

    Great question, Monika.
    I was looking to create one with where the balloon tail is angled at the top or bottom, depending on how the initial path is drawn.
    In later iterations, the balloon size would be generated based on the text going into it. I have already written code that pulls the dialogue into Illustrator. The hope was I could pull it directly into the word bubble. Specifically, a rounded balloon tail, angled up or down, with a round word bubble that's been 'scrunched' for lack of a better term. It should look something like the following examples:

  • Hello I shut my iMac down to move it to the next room when I plug it back into the wall, hit the power button nothing happens. I tried holding the power button nothing when't back to the first room plug it in where it was 2 mins ago nothing?

    Do you know which iMac model family you have? There are four families dating back to 1998. Troubleshooting depends on that. This forum covers the first three families made from 1998 to 2005. iMacs newer than that get a separate forum.
    Do you have the system disks that came with the computer? If so, and depending on model, you may be able to start from the CD/DVD and then make the jump to booting normally.
    All computers has a little battery on the logic board that holds date, time, and some important startup parameters when the compuer is taken off wall power for a short time. If your battery was very old and died, then the settings the computer needs to start may have been lost when you unplugged it. For some Mac modles, booting from a CD or DVD gets around this temporarily, but ultimately the battery needs to be replaced. The internal batteries are cheap but can be hard to access on some iMacs like the G4 "desklamp" model

  • Are there any problems using the Ipad while is is plugged into the wall and charging?

    Are there any contraindications using the Ipad while it is plugged into the wall and charging???

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
    Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at Apple: iPad Battery Nothing to Get Charged Up About

    No. You are the only one. The way I know is that I don't have the problem, therefore no one else can have it.
    Seriously, no matter what problem you have, with a half billion iPhones in use, someone else will have the same or similar problem. So knowing that doesn't help solve it in the slightest. As it's new and still in warranty I would take it to an Apple store. Make a genius bar appointment first so you won't have a long wait.

  • My iphone turned off after I got off the phone. It was fully charged and it went black. I plugged it into my wall charger and my computer, but nothing has showed up, its still dead. It was totally fine before. What happened?

    My iphone turned off after I got off the phone today. It was more than half way charged and it went totally black. I plugged it into my wall charger and my computer, but nothing has showed up. It doesn't register on the computer either, the charge symbol doesn't appear, and there is no apple logo to be found.  I have no idea what happened! It was totally fine before. I tried charging another ipod with my usb and wall charger to make sure that they were still working, and they weren't the problem. What happened? Is the phone dead for good? I have a 3G if that changes anything. THANKS!

    Press and hold both the on/off button and the home button and release them both when the apple logo appears.  That will reboot the phone.  try that.
