#Animator Studio and KPT

>>
this tool in a single frame, but neither this Guide nor the Animator Studio
documentation explain how the gradient designer effects can be animated between
frames.
Can you tell me how this is done, or put me in touch with someone who can tell
me?<<
wasn't sure if you ever got a response on this, Neil. can you explain what
you're trying to do? i understand how a Gradient Ink would be applied using a
tool over time… but what do you envision the gradient designer doing over
time? we may be able to get some folks from programming and HSC in on this if i
can describe explicitly what you envision happening.

Thanks Dave. In fact I got answers from both HSC and Autodesk, by phone, to
say that it can only be done manually.
The idea is that I would change some of the parameters in Gradient Designer
over a sequence of frames (e.g. use a circular gradient pattern to resemble a
glow, and move the position of the glow, or rotate a linear pattern, or alter a
blur setting …). It's not an original idea – it's already incorporated into
the KPT version for 3D Studio. I just thought it would be nice to be able to
do it with the 2D allpication also.
I didn't get the impression that anyone was going to stay back late to include
it in the next release!

okay. <whew… thought i was missing something pretty powerful otherwise>

hm…. idea… create new frame, paint glow, capture, paint over time, use as
clone ink with image… think there's a way to do this. always love a
challenge. 😉

<g> probably not… but someone might stay up late developing a technique. it
is a cool idea.
