Trees in the Breeze

I have a detailed vector of some palm trees and I want to make them appear as if they are swaying in the breeze. Does anyone know of any actionscript/tutorial/fla for sale that I could use to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

have you tried pushing the “any” key?

Sorry buddy, couldnt resist.

I use the “Make it Work” button and the “Knock it Out” button.

That’s a very specific request. Unless the vector components of your palm trees (trunk segment, fronds, etc) are structured in such a way that you can animate them by rotating at child attachment points to get a swaying effect I imagine you will just have to do a frame by frame animation and modify you drawing by hand for every frame. You may be able to use a bit of shape tweening to cut out some animation frames

In Adobe After Effects you can use the puppet tool to attach flex points to the trees(kind of like a bone structure), animate the the points on the timeline and then get a result that look like trees bending or swaying. You can thenexport it as video or flash video.

Swaying in the breeze huh?

Cross your eyes, Blow real hard and shake your head really fast. That could work.

No, but seriously. What that one dude said about frame by frame animation is probably what you’d need to do. Or you could take my advice and get creative… and maybe a head ache.

No, but for real. I haven’t seen any script like that.

Peace.

Try this…

this.palm_tree.onEnterFrame = function() {
    if (breeze == true) {
        this.sway();
    }
};
