Session

Inverse Kinematics & 3D

Richard will be showing you the EA Games Spore micro-campaign which showcases some of the new features in Flash CS4 such as inverse kinematics, the new 3D tools, and the new animation presets.

He’ll show you what it was like to work on the project from a designer’s point of view and the challenges moving from a CS3 environment and he’ll open up his source files to show you exactly how he did it.
