mega tree face
« on: February 16, 2022, 12:13:20 PM »
Hey All,
I finally started getting into the face effect for my mega tree and am really enjoying how it works.  I do have one question hopefully someone can help me with.  What I would like is just for the tree to be green (or whatever color) and have the eyes and mouth display and move without showing a bulb or santa or other type of face.  Basically to look like the tree is doing the singing or talking.  Is there an easy way I could set this up?  So far I've used the bulb and elf faces but I cant figure out how to just have the eyes and mouth without the rest of the image.  Thanks for any help.

I've done it before for the Talking Trees Intro sequence.  Basically you need the mouth shapes and the eyes in PNG files with transparency.  If I remember right the sequence I had was setting the eye images manually because it had several eye positions.  Otherwise you need all the images to have both the open and closed eye versions.  The base green color has to be done manually with On effects.

Thanks so much for the replies. So dumb question since I?m limited with zoom experience. I joined up but do we have to be on at the same time? Again sorry for what I think is a dumb question. Lol.

Thank you so much for the files!!!! I really appreciate it.  I also apologize for the time delay getting back to you.  I've been having to run out of town a lot lately so it's been tricky to keep up with everything.  Thank you again for taking your time to help me with this.
