    Sure that this has been part of a past thread, somewhere. I have a psd that is a logo that incorporates an
    umbrella as part of the company logho. I am to animate the umbrella opening. Thoughts on easiest/best
    way in AE to do? thanks to all.

    We need more information on what you are trying to do. What does it need to look like? Very realistic or a sketch? Best results would be to 3d model it in a 3d app like 3ds max or maya.

    Greg: needs to look like an umbrella going from closed position, with panels closed down around the post to fully opened. Thought it might be some sort of distort, but not sure. thanks
