What are you doing with Xara at the moment?

The second image Self-Serving is a not so subtle dig on some of the new stereogram artists who plaster their names all over their images. I don't think my satire had the least effect on them.

The one with your name looks super cool in 3d like that.

Just messing about with animations, no particular reason, just amusing myself.

That's a nice one, Egg. How long did it take you to put it together?

I really do like that animation egg, yes ok I'll say it: it rocks !

How long did it take you to put it together?

@ Boy: At the moment it's an ongoing play thing. I guess about 24+ hours up until the latest version below.

@ HD: Thank you very much.

The latest version is now an endless looping video. I've added multiple objects. There's now an extended breakwater, seagulls, dolphins, buoys, flags, semi-transparent wheelhouse windows complete with a helmsman and a tile-less cloud-scape and sun.

The biggest problem with all animations is you have to amend .... check ... adjust ... repeat etc but even with a 48sec animation it takes ages getting it right.

Latest DEMO

As long as you're playing, perhaps the sun can rise and set? :-)

That's very cool, Egg. I like the way the captain on the bridge moves against the rocking of the boat. I haven't played around with animations for a few years. It was always great fun.

**Egg Bramhill** · 25 February 2025, 08:29 PM

Thanks Boy & Gray. Ican spend hours tweaking animations. Just a hobby.

Creating a new web animation effect: https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...978-Inner-Zoom
I was aiming to include it in a gallery of images...

Acorn

Had a good look at that Acorn and it's a great effect. I tried to get it to work on vector drawings, and I know you gave an example of such, but I couldn't find a way to get it to work on a collection of vectors that make up an image say. I can only get it to work on a single vector at a time.
