Tutorial 4.4 - adding textures

Tutorial 4.4 - adding textures.

hi - doing the 4.4 tutorial and it came out okay but just a question to do with frame 0 and using AS Debut 6.

We dont get the option button to "copy to clipboard" - from the render preview.

I just used the old Ctrl + Alt + Printscreen hack to copy that active window and paste into Fireworks.

That doesnt give you a "clean cut" of the image - it's adding the small render preview "chrome" that you have to remove in your graphic editing program.

It ended up working out very well and I got all the layers lined up even if my cut of the copied window was a diferent size to what would have been a "clean" copy to clipboard.


if it was an issue - I am presuming the imported texture can be moved by hand in its layer (at frame 0) to line up correctly with its assigned shape layer and that should be fine
for the scene and will follow the shape correctly (?)

i was pretty impressed with the torso motion of the shape - would they have imported a movie of a horse and manipulated the bones similar to rotoscoping?

I was thinking of doing the same with some surfing or motorcycle footage.
training wheels attached
