animate drawing an outline of an object

[kirks61]

I'm trying to animate drawing an outline of a photo of a group of people.

In the past, I have manually created the outline as a path, broken it apart to separate the segments, then deleted each segment frame by frame. It's a painfully slow but effective method, especially with variations in the shape of the outline.

 

I'm thinking that there's got to be an easier way to do this with TweenMax. Is there? If so, will the AS2 version do it?

There really isn't anything that is going to draw complex paths for you inside the GreenSock Tweening Platform.

Many people would like some easy way to do what your after.

 

 

You could research the AS2 Drawing API, but ultimately your hand-drawn way will probably be faster and easier.

Yeah, I ended up doing it by hand in less than 30 minutes while taking forever to research a coded method.

 

Thank though.
