This is an animation using file objects.

Continued.

I worked so hard on it, but it turned into something I don't understand.

 

This is the previous TIPS.

Please refer to the link for detailed work content.

Coloring the Kaleidoscope Pattern

Let's try adding colorful hues using the previous file.

 

Open (400x400.clip).

Hide the "Gradient Map" layer in the "Layer" palette.

"Save" and close the canvas.

Open (700x600.clip).

From the "Layer" menu, select "Update All File Objects" under "File Object".

Confirm that the canvas has become darker, then "Save" and close the canvas.

(No explanation for the attached image.)

 

Open (Kaleidoscope.clip).

From the "Layer" menu, select "Update All File Objects" under "File Object".

Add a "Gradient Map" layer above the "700x600" layer in the "Layer" palette, as shown in the attached image.

Save it as "Kaleidoscope (Orange).clip".

Open "Kaleidoscope (Orange).clip".

Change the "Gradient Map" layer in the "Layer" palette as shown in the attached image.

Save it as "Kaleidoscope (Blue).clip".

Open "Kaleidoscope (Blue).clip".

Change the "Gradient Map" layer in the "Layer" palette.

Save it as "Kaleidoscope (Three Colors).clip".

This was used for the previous title animation.

Rotation isn't just about the center.

Just rotating around the center quickly gets boring.

Let's try setting two rotation centers.

 

I looked for good materials on CLIP STUDIO ASSETS.

Hawaiian01_CS

I colored this vibrantly and used it as the material for this rotation.

(Work process omitted)

This is a material finished colorfully based on "Hawaiian01_CS" (image scaled down).

 

Create a new folder.

Name the folder "Hawaiian".

Duplicate the (400x400.clip), (700x600.clip), and (Kaleidoscope.clip) files into the "Hawaiian" folder.

Also place the CLIP file processed from "Hawaiian01_CS" into this folder.

 

Open the "Hawaiian" folder and open (400x400.clip).

 

Discard all layers except the "Triangle" layer in the "Layer" palette.

From the "File" menu, select "Create File Object" under "Import".

Import the CLIP file processed from "Hawaiian01_CS".

 

Click "Rendering settings" in the "Tool Property" palette and uncheck "Draw paper".

Check "Tiling".

Set the "Magnification rate" to a moderate value (I set it to 10%).

 

On the canvas, I placed the rotation center slightly to the right of the "Triangle".

Since "Hawaiian01_CS" is tiled, you can move the center of rotation anywhere.

 

Duplicate the layer in the "Layer" palette.

Set the layer's "Opacity" to (20).

Move the layer with "Opacity" (20) below the original layer.

 

Lock the duplicated original layer.

 

Move the center of the layer with "Opacity" (20) on the canvas to below the bottom-left edge of the triangle.

I made some changes with "Hue/Saturation/Luminosity" in "New Tonal Correction Layer" from the "Layer" menu.

 

Unlock the locked layer.

 

For each layer, press "Enable Keyframes for Layer" and set a 6-second rotation to (+360 degrees) and (-360 degrees).

(This time, we'll rotate it right and left.)

 

*Attached images for explanation are mostly omitted.

 

Hide the triangle layer in the "Layer" palette, then "Save" and close.

Open (700x600.clip) in the "Hawaiian" folder.

From the "Layer" menu, select "Update All File Objects" under "File Object".

The canvas pattern will be rewritten.

Save and close the canvas (no explanation with attached images).

 

Rename the (Kaleidoscope.clip) file in the "Hawaiian" folder.

Change it to (Hawaiian.clip).

 

Open (Hawaiian.clip).

From the "Layer" menu, select "Update All File Objects" under "File Object".

The canvas pattern will be rewritten.

Save (no explanation with attached images).

This is the exported animation GIF.

The file size was enormous, so I had no choice but to output it in a small size (640 x 360px).

 

Unless you look very closely, you can't tell what's different, can you?

It's frustrating, so here's the actual size.

A Kaleidoscope Isn't Just About Rotation

What if I draw an animation on the triangle in (400x400.clip)? So,

I immediately started.

 

Making animation is a lot of work...

Well, I rushed through it, enjoying it somewhat 👯

 

The timeline has become a mess, but each part is trivial.

I combined various things while thinking, but

It ended up messy and incomprehensible.

 

There's no explanation at all.

(400x400.clip):

Finally, group the finished layers in the "Layer" palette into one folder.

With this folder selected,

Enable "Layer frames" in the "Timeline".

Change the sub tool to "Object".

Set the "Rotation angle" under "Transform" in the "Tool Property" palette to (-30).

Hide the "Triangle" layer.

"Save" and close.

 

Without deleting (700x600.clip),

Create a new 11-second timeline from a new illustration.

Set up grids, etc., similarly.

Import (400x400.clip) using "Create File Object".

Repeat the painstaking tiling process.

Since I extended it to 11 seconds, I could just extend the playback range of all file objects, but I thought it might be better to create it anew.

 

When saving, please "Overwrite" the file.

 

Actually,

if you save a new file by overwriting, the "fate's thread" of the "File Object" is cut.

The link to the newly imported file object remains active, but links to subsequent files are severed.

Well, in the end, you'll have to redo it anyway (this is also experience).

Animation of the newly created (700x600.clip)

 

Create a new illustration (1280 x 720px).

Import (700x600.clip) using "Create File Object".

Check "Tiling" and create a cool, perspectively transformed space with Free Transform.

Create a new timeline (11 seconds) in the timeline.

Save it as "24hours.clip".

 

The result is the title animation at the top of this page.

The file size became enormous, so I exported it in a small size...

Conclusion

There are some unselected parts at the corners of the triangle selection area.

I think it might be a problem with the size of the triangle.

I'm working with (400 x 400px), but I feel like the gaps would be filled by working with (480 x 480px).

The grid "Interval" would need to be (120).

 

I just vaguely thought so. It might be different.

 

It became disorganized.

 

I think it might also be possible with imported movies.

I plan to experiment with it from now on.

 

Please play around with it.
