Rac Cubed

[Angie]

This is from a set I made a while ago, but I've updated it
I'm using the art of Ismael Rac.
I bought this tube when he was with AMI.
Ismael is now independant & you can purchase a license to
use his work at his store Here

You need a couple of tubes, close ups are best
Font of choice.
Mura Meister Copies
Ulead Gif-X 2.0

Open a 400 X 400 image
Floodfill with a color to sut your tubes.
Paste your tubes,to fill the image.
Type Rac in white, I used Impact font, drag to fill the image.
Layer properties soft light.
Add a small border & merge visible.
Ulead Gif-X



My preview always shows a black background, but it will save as transparent.
Click Save, you save as a Gif, save it somewhere you can find it easily.
Open Animation shop & find your animation.
Delete the first frame
Edit, select all, copy & take to Psp, paste as new image
Crop the excess canvas.
In Psp, Image, canvas size



Hide these layers for now

New raster layer, send to bottom.
Paste your tube, Mura copies wallpaper shrink.
Adjust Blur motion blur
Angle 315, strength 100, repeat.
Edge effects enhance more.
Type Xeracx in White, Impact font.
Drag to fit, add a drop shadow & reduce the opacity to suit.
Paste your tube, position & add a drop shadow.
New raster layer, click inside with your magic wand, contract by 4,
floodfill black, contract by 1, delete, add a drop shadow.
Bring to top
Add your name & copyright.
Merge visible
Ulead always tends to leave a white edge on mine, so this is time consuming but worth it.
Unhide the first cube layer, select all, float, defloat.
Selections modify, contract by 1
Selections invert, delete. Select none.
Copy merged & take to Animation shop,
paste as new animation.
Back in Psp, hide the cube layer you just did, & unhide the next one.
Repeat the steps above until you have all layers in AS
Adjust the frame speed to 15
Phew, that's it, hope you enjoyed

If it's any help, I don't have ULead so I used Xenofex "box" and made mine.
Took it to AS and used the insert image effect "rotate" and it turns in a 360 but hey, at least it worked for me.

[anita]

I have Xenofex, BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE "BOX", can you please tell me where it is,,,,,,,i have Xenofex 1 and 2 but the "box" is not anywhere,,,,,,please help

[kat4evr]

Here's my try, couldn't figure out the Ulead gif 2.0 - it won't let me use same canvas size placement and its not rotating all the way so it didn't come out right so i used AS rotate. gonna need more practicing on filters to animate tags. it was fun

[Angie]

Great result Kat, looks just as good as the Ulead effect
