Weave Effect
I need some help on an effect. I need to simulate a tapestry being woven over time. I thought about possibly using a transition or maybe having the image revealed through an animated mask, but nothing is really selling right now. Is there a plugin out there that will do this, or is this a job for a complex expression? If so, I don’t have the time unless smeone has already done this and can share the expession. I thank you in advance any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,

It depends on what you want the transition edge to look like. How long should the threads be? How many threads? One per pixel? Do you want to see thin, straight lines grwoing in length? If so, there has to be some kind of lag between faster-and slower-moving threads or you just have a wipe.

Thanks for your reponse. I was thinking of something that would complete in about 3 to 4 seconds and would be about 1 to 5 pixel thick to represent each thread strand. You are right about the different speeds or else it will just look like a wipe. I just do not know how to get this one done. Any help would be awesome.

You might be able to do something with the scribble effect that would write on. If you need it to be in a grid sort you could overlay a solid with Grid applied to give a boxey feel to it.
Go here for a tut on Scribble:

Or use the ‘venetian blind’ wipe two times, first horizontal then vertical (or vice versa) don’t let the first one go to 100% complete.
cheers
