Subtitles of the Movie

In this movie, I want to show you a little bit more about Zapplink. Okay, this time, you know, we still have this Test Head here, and I'm going to actually put it at full strength. When I'm done with a model, I want to be able to put it up on the Internet to show other people. Of course, this one I did not do, but we'll play a little pretend here and say I did, and I want to show other people it. So, Zapplink has made a nice little feature in here, and first I'm going to eliminate the weird gradient in the background. And I'm going to Clear All. It's so much easier to just kind of start over. So, let's re-do this. I want it front, side, and this time, I want a view like this. Just like that. Okay, what I'm going to do is Make Character Sheet, and there we go. In Photoshop, I have this nice Character Sheet all laid out to show people on the Internet. So I can use this, I can just copy paste it out, you know, like say I want this frame to be one picture, so I can actually go Edit, Copy, File, New, OK, then Edit, Paste. I could do it that way. Or, I could save out the entire strip. Notice something about the Character Strip. Yes. The background is transparent. That's correct, because they have this information on the Character Strip. So, Character Strips are really nice that way. Notice the resolution isn't all that good, though. So before you make a Character Strip, you should always do this: Document, New Document, No. Document, Double, then Double again. So if you wanted a higher res Character Strip, you would start out with something like this. And then you would re-do your views for this. So, Color, Front, Side, then a three-quarters turn, and you notice that I'm having a little bit harder time because it's higher res. Okay. Now, another thing you should do is probably AAhalf it, and then do the main Character Sheet. We're going to hit Update. So a much higher resolution this time, and the Anti-alias edges, which is nice. With the Character Sheet, you can also go into Render and hit Best, and it'll render each frame out, so you get the Anti-Alias, you'll get the render, you'll get everything, and then it'll export your Character Sheet. And think about it this way, this sheet right here that I just exported is somewhere within, like, 1024 by oh, it would probably be 6000 resolution, because it goes all the way down. So it is incredibly high res. Okay, just to give you an idea, if I did a Print with Preview you could see the real output of this. Huge. Width: 178 inches real world. Now, what's really nice about that is if I do go to print that out Landscape, Scale to Fit Media, this will have all kinds of crazy resolution behind it. Okay, so that's just a lesson on how to make a Character Sheet within Zapplink.
