Go HERE to see the animated version if you can't see it above. This tutorial was written on September 14, 2013. I used Corel X5, but it should work in other versions as well. Any similarity to any other tutorial is purely coincidental. Please look at my TOU for more info. The supplies you need: An tube of choice. I used a tube by Mischa Marple. At the time I wrote this tutorial, she was selling at My Tubed Art. I don't know where she is selling now, but I will update the tutorial when I find out. Template 129 by Spawn. You can download it from his blog HERE. Don’t forget to check out all his other templates as well. They are awesome! A font of choice. I used “Black Asylum”. Materials used: Animation Shop Toadies – Living Sine (Circular) Xero – Fritillary Eye Candy 6 – Perspective Shadow (Optional) Drop shadow used in this tutorial: 2, 2, 70 7, Black. Open the template in your PSP and press Shift D. Close the original template. Delete the credits layer on the template. Activate the background layer. Add Toadies Living Sine (Circular) with the default settings. If you use a different tube, please feel free to play with the settings so you get colours that match your tube. Alternatively, you can make a gradient with colours from your tube and floodfill with that instead. Add Xero Fritillary with these settings on the Main Background: Go to Effects – Edge Effects and choose Enhance. Activate the Edges Spirals. Go to Adjust – Brightness/Contrast and move the Brightness bar all the way to the max. Add a drop shadow. Go to the Left Spiral Background. Select All – Float and Defloat. Add Toadies Living Sine again, using the same settings as before. Deselect. Repeat this with the Right Spiral Background. Activate the Left Spiral Background and duplicated this 4 times, so you have a total of 5 copies of it. On each of these layers, go to Image – Free Rotate and with these settings: Leave the original Left Spiral Background as it is. Duplicate 1 – 72.00 degrees to the left. Duplicate 2 – 144.00 degrees to the left. Duplicate 3 – 216.00 degrees to the left. Duplicate 4 – 288.00 degrees to the left. Do the same with the Right Spiral Backgrounds, but rotate them to the RIGHT instead. Once you’re done, move the layers on the right side so the layers look like this: With ”Copy (4) of Right Spiral Background” active, merge that down to Copy (4) of Left Spiral Background, so that one left side and one right side is merged together. Do this for the other Spiral Backgrounds as well.
Hide all the Spiral Backgrounds except for the first layer. Add a close up of the tube or a tube in full size. Place it on the left side, on top of the Left Spiral Background. Change the Blend Mode on the tube to Luminace (L), duplicate and mirror. Merge these two tubes together. Go to the layer below, Select All – Float – Defloat – Invert, go back to the tube layer and hit Delete. Once you’re done, go to the Left Spiral and add a drop shadow. Do the same for Right Spiral. Now it’s time to add your tube again. Place it in the center. I resized mine to 80% but it depends on the tube. Add drop shadow. I used Eye Candy 6 – Perspective Shadow with the Blurry setting. Activate the Border layer. Go to Adjust – Brightness/Contrast and move the Brightness bar all the way to the left. Add your name and copyright info. I added a Gradient Glow to the name, but this is optional. Time to animate! Make sure that all the Spiral Backgrounds are closed off except the bottom one. Copy Merged and paste it as a new animation in Animation Shop. Go back to your PSP, hide the first Spiral Background and unhide the next. Copy Merged, go back to AS and Paste After Current Frame. Continue like this until you have done it to all the Spiral Background layers. Once you’re done, still in AS, press Ctrl and A to select all the frames. Go to Animation – Frame Properties and change it to 20. Save as a gif. Thanks for trying my tutorial. Hugs Lithy Here is one for Spawn as well. Thanks for the awesome template my friend! HERE is the animated version.
