MaliceX Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Only the top-bottom edges are bent. Have a 3-point curved distort a bit more to the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWarp Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 I think I know what you're talking about, but flash doesn't support it. The squares let me distort the shape and the circles let me bend it all funny. I've gotten decent results: Yeah that will work, though it's gonna be a real pain to do this for 50 pages. <()> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hock Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 That's MUCH better o_o You're definatley on the right track. The only problem is doing a similar effect to the artwork. It all has to match, otherwise those curved pages just look silly with flat graphics on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all has to match, otherwise those curved pages just look silly with flat graphics on them !@#%$#%@#^$#%^!#$%#$%@#^$&^*^& I knew someone was going to say that. Looks like I'm going to do this for 100+ pages. <()> EDIT: Problem. Flash doesn't stretch bitmaps around as much as vector graphics. If you want the stretchy page effect you'll have to do it yourself. I'll get the page-shape outline up in a couple days. (you'll have to give me the image in PNG 24bit-transparency.)

Ichitootah Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Looks like you guys are in severe need of mixers. Should I consider picking up another track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hock Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Perhaps the liquify tool in Photoshop... I could try it myself but I don't have a huge amount of experience with that feature. Anyone here who does? Or has a better method of getting that page effect on to all of our artwork? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Juno Bug Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Liquify works well for this sort of thing. Is THIS: what you're looking for? It can be modified however you see fit. I could change the curve or whatever, and make a template of the form so that every page could have the same shape. Liquify is a very versatile effect.

KWarp Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Neatos. Get the page shape right (I'll provide that) and we'll be right on track. In other news I have 2 tests today in my two hardest classes. I just finished taking a 3 hour PSAT so my mind is blown. My day sucks. <()> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other news I have 2 tests today in my two hardest classes. I just finished taking a 3 hour PSAT so my mind is blown. My day sucks. <()> Yeah, I took the PSAT too. It was... enthralling, to say the least. Surprisingly easy (considering I took it last year), but, even more boring and pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Juno Bug Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Neatos. Get the page shape right (I'll provide that) and we'll be right on track. Yay! I'm helpful! I eagerly await the shape provision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWarp Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 http://www.kwarp.com/storage/page4.png There you go. You'll have to flip the image horizontally of course. Get the page shape as close as you possibly can or we'll have a lot of funny glitches with the flipping engine. EDIT: It MUST be a 24-bit PNG with transparency so Flash can recognize and drop out the transparency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWarp Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Arek and I are hoping if we all get on AIM as long as we can then a time will set itself up for us. If 3 of the four of us are present we'll start without the 4th guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Juno Bug Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Okay, the template is coming along. The top of the page is done, but the bottom is taking a while, since it's different. I'm too busy to work on it more today, so it should be up tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arek the Absolute Posted October 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I appreciate all that is going on with you guys. thanks for taking your time on this. Certain people are putting a lot of pressure on me right now. I have to take some time off for this. It won't be for long though. I just don't want this project to be neglected while I am gone. KWarp, work your magic on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
