    animation challenge. Can anyone help?

    Posted by Jim Hughes on September 25, 2009 at 6:59 pm

    Need help with some animation (morphing?). I would like to take a horizontal bar and have it curl up into the shape of a letter U. (arial bold U). Or, to take a slightly curved horizontal bar (which looks like a smile and have that animate into a letter U.

    Any Ideas? Thanks for any input.

    simply draw the shape on a solid with the mask tool. Stroke that mask, and animate\keyframe
    the stroke as you draw it into the next shape.
