  • Creating a transition between two vectors

    Posted by Ezra Hames on September 15, 2016 at 5:13 pm

    I am wondering if anyone can help.

    I’m currently working on a project, where I need a giraffe to move its head from an upright position to the ground.
    I’ve created a vector of the giraffe with its head up and a giraffe with its head down.

    What is the best/ most realistic way to combine these two vectors, making a realistic motion?

    Thanks in advance.

    Use a single image and use the puppet tool to move the head.

    The most realistic way is to create the frames in between. Obviously that is significantly more work. It sounds like the Puppet Tool is what you are looking for.

    Thanks for the reply!

    I need the ‘upright’ position to look exactly like the vector and the ‘head down’ to look exactly like the vector. Is there a way to achieve this using the puppet tool?

    puppet will work on one image. but there are manipulations you could use to make this transition seamless to another image. could you share a screenshot? we could know better what specific suggestions to give based on specific images.
