Designing the Animations- Java 7(Part 1)

I am back again with the thing that will make you feel joyful and exciting. I was already gave you a basic knowledge about the designing in Photoshop. Today I will demonstrate you all about the animation in java with the help of obviously Adobe Photoshop.

Here are the things you will need while going through out the tutorial:

1. Adobe Photoshop

2. Java 7

3. Eclipse Luna

Step 1.

First thing you need to do is that just create a ball in Adobe Photoshop. Don't worry,  I will help you out with this as usual.

Just select the shape tool but it doesn't appear as you move your mouse upon it. It's depends upon your previous selection in project. It may be named Line tool, Polygon tool, etc. You need to select Ellipse tool.  I already explained about Toolbox tools and selection. 

 

Initial Stage

Now draw it on the workspace like I have done. Get a reference of the image given above.

You will have a kind of scenario as shown above. It may differ as you are doing it in your own way. I am assuming that you have done with it and colored your ball. But still there's something you that don't make you feel it as a ball so here is the trick for giving it an illusion of 3d ball.

Step 2.

Remember guys everything you see in the real life is completely a part of illusion but that doesn't mean that everything you see in real world is falsified. It's just contains some illusions. So here is our illusion in virtual world, first of all make sure you have colored ball with something dark as I have done. 

Create ball

As I have selected blue color because it seems really shining color. Now the next thing you need to do is that select brush tool. But it will not allow you to color it directly so first Rasterize by right clicking on the Layer(Shape 1 if you didn't named it) and select Rasterize option. Now you have the rights to color it through any color.

Step 3.

Just now select Brush tool to make the ball shine. Change the foreground color to white and just click once on the area where you want the shine on ball like I have done. Note: Select entire ball by CTRL+ Left Click on the Shape 1 layer on layer Bar, it will select entire ball at once and then put the brush tool containing white and size may vary based on your scenario.

Final touch on ball

 Here is the sample ball I have created in png format:

In the Next tutorial I will describe the further steps.

Happy Designing.
