    Anyone have a good idea on how to make a helicopter rotor effect? I am making a short animated film and I have helicopters already drawn but want to add a cool rotor effect to them….any ideas?

    Thnx

    how “realistic” does it have to be?

    if they’re always gonna be moving, smiply cut a + shape out, make it a 3d layer so you can turn it 90* and make it flat… spin it on the axis, and turn on the emotion blur… you can use an expression to loop it (its in the radar tutorial)

    its quick and dirty – but if its not for a full 3d model, I don’t think there’ll be any issues 🙂

    If this works lemme see the result 🙂
