Animated Bubbles

**matelot** · 18 October 2006, 12:06 AM

OK Gurus, I have this idea that I would like to bring to fruition but my mechanical mind cannot bend to the necessary steps.

What I see is a champagne glass, lots of bubbly in it and lots of bubbles rising up through the champagne. As the bubbles hit the surface they escape and become multi-hued just like Casey's bubble. There is a difference however, what I want is a never ending series of bubbles that rise from the champagne, growing larger as they float away, each containing a different head/shoulders and finally 'popping' as they move out of the frame. I have about 60 busts that I want to use but have no idea of how to tackle this project. The bubbles could be in series or in parallel providing they could be seen as containing stand-alone busts.

I am thinking that this cannot be done but then I remembered a particular sentiment on this forum "there's no such thing as can't".

Of course it can be done.
Walt Disney cartoon films were originally just a series of drawings changing slightly in each frame.
Animated gifs work exactly the same.

Here is a rough anim with .xar file so you can see the how.

Some animated bubbles I made about six years ago.

It was my first post on the old i/us forum.

Reminds me of the old lava lamps.

I didn't make that one.
I hated the things - made me feel seasick.

Many thanks Raymond and Bill,
you've shown me that it is not as hopeless as I thought, it will just take a little effort on my part.
BTW Raymond, in your second 'contribution' with the nubile lady and the glass, I see the proximity of the derriere and note the bubbles appear out of nowhere above the liquid and then sinking downwards (heavier than air?). Was that intended?
