| Before we start this lesson, let's have a little fun. It's interesting how our mind can perceive an object totally differently based on perspective. You'll see what I mean in a moment. 1. | Open Shake. | 2. | Choose File > Open Script. | 3. | Navigate to the Lesson02 folder and choose robot_pt1.shk, or select the script that you saved from the previous lesson, and click OK. Your script opens up in the Node workspace. | 4. | Highlight the Brightness1 node and press I to ignore it. | 5. | Select the Add1 node and choose Outside from the Layer tab. Outside places an image outside the mask of a second image. Only the mask of the second image is considered in the composite, and the color comes from the foreground image. Essentially, the mask of the second image cuts a hole in the first image. | 6. | Connect Resize1 to the right input of Outside1. | 7. | Double-click the Over2 node and click the Flipbook icon. Holy Toledo! The robot looks gigantic! The cute little robot has turned into a scary Robzilla. |
OK, quit messing around. |
