Creating and Animating Snowfall
Creating and Animating Snowfall |
| We start by opening an image of a snowman. |
 |
| Select brush tool and press shift F5 to open brush settings. Adjust brush settings as shown. |
 |
 |
 |
| Using white as a foreground color apply the brush over the image in a new layer. |
 |
| Duplicate the layer and move it up so that bottom of this image touch the top of the original snow layer. Merge both snow layers. |
 |
| Open animation window. For the first frame leave the snow frame as it is. |
 |
| Duplicate the frame and move the snow layer downwards so that the top of snow layer touches the top of the image. |
 |
| Select both frames and press tweens animation frames in animation window. |
 |
| Adjust the settings in tween window as shown. |
 |
| Tweening will create in between frames automatically. |
 |
| Delete the last frame to create a seamless loop of snowfall animation. Adjust delay durations as shown in the shot below. |

Something wrong with this tut, if the first and last image are the same, there’s nothing to TWEEN.

It’s beautiful and it works perfectly. The part I misunderstood is when you say to touch the snow layers, really they should overlap a tiny bit!
Gorgeous effect!
Thank you!
