8. When you keep trying to Orbit images, web sites and documents!

I made a handle quite easily using Curviloft, just create the profile at the end of the handle and at the middle, draw the curve you want between those two profiles, then use "create loft following given path and you have half a handle. Make two and join them and add your end bits.

Yes it makes for a large file size, but it makes a nice handle.

A simple one to keep the game moving.

And Fredo's Bezier/ Spline tool might help with your curves.

Plus you can bend your curves using Fredo scale/Radial bender.

Happy to help.
You can use this method for any number of scenes, so the cube can roll over or zoom in and out or even fly off the screen.
And reducing the number of colours in the gif will bring the file size down, I make a lot of animated avatars for people on another site and the file limit there 19.5 kb, so you learn to get everything out of each pixel.

If you draw the arc you want, then draw a straight line from the end of the arc towards what you think is the centre it will snap to the centre.

As I posted already I guess I should reply, perhaps it's just me but I don't understand what you want to do.

Could you explain in simple words or images what you want to achieve. I may be showing my ignorance, but that's never bothered me.

Just to help possibly simplify the animations for you.
Use scenes, create one scene at front one scene at back( or side to side, whichever works best for you) and export the animation as JPGs.
You can specify how many Frames per second in the export and resolution then combine in the gif program of your choice.

I work in the more "artistic" side of the business and in a multi language setting where English is the common.
So 'maquette' is used because it is more easily recognised by different mother tongues.

It's a great image, but I agree about the red tree.
It strikes me that it's in two different places. The trunk of the tree is way back near the fence but the foliage is right up near the camera.
It may well be that they are two different things, but that's how it reads to me and kinda steals the focus.

I'm only being picky and looking for problems, I love it.

I had this problem and I managed to fake it by tracing around the shadows while in monochrome and adjusting that section of the face to a slightly different shade of transparent material.
It's not perfect, as the "shadows" don't move, but it helped me represent what I wanted for an image.

I'm glad I could help.

You'll find that window in the Window Menu, labelled Styles. You can use it so set the look of your model.

I'm not sure I understand your problem, that plugin creates lines in a group that can be edited in any normal way.

I'm happy you got a result.

You'll find Component Stringer here http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=23616
Watch the vid and look through the posts and you'll quickly understand how it works, very simple and useful.

As to exactly what I did,

I made one card.
I measured a card I had here, it was 85mm X 55mm and looked like about 1/3 of a mm thick.
I Scaled up by 10,
so I drew a rectangle 850mm X 550mm and push/pulled to 3.3mm.
added the card texture.
Made that a component.
Shifted the Axis of the component to a point roughly on the diagonal between the corner and the centre.

Drew a line on the blue Axis 33mm (being 100 X 3.3mm) and divided it into 100.
Selected the line and the component and activated component stringer.
Chose Scaling/None and Component Rotation/ 0.2
Then hit OK, and you have a stack of 100 each rotated around the moved axis point by .2Deg.

Then with the tape measure I resized the model back down to 85mm.

You can do smaller sections if you want the stack to move around more, or even use a curved line.

Hope that helps.
I'm sure there are still better ways to do this but that is how my beginner mind worked it out.

I've added the model below if you want it.

Your thread title might be slowing down viewers, or perhaps it's just late at night.

What you are wanting can certainly be done by people on this site.
It might help if you gave a little more information, things like
When do you need it?
Is it serious or does it have a bit of humour to it?
What sort of feeling are you after/is it a booth for a trade show where everyone's in the business and knows your Logo or should it be eye catching to new customers.
Is it something you would like to use more than once?
Do you know the Fonts used in the Logo?
Should your figure be working hard or is he so skilled it just slips into place?
Is he alone, or is he working as part of a team?
Are there any specific tools or symbolism that might work well with what you want?

I did a very quick model to help with your thinking, the wall/image/structure you are pushing the logo into, does it have some significance?
Does the CMA tie different groups together, is it a cornerstone or does it dovetail in nicely? (Hence the cutouts in the Logo.)
In other words, what sort of structure would be significant to the people visiting your booth?

Anyway, that's just me pushing your post to the top of the page for you.

I believe he is talking about Fredoscale, as mentioned above.

I've not a lot of experience, so I'm sure there are faster and better ways to do this but,

I created one card with some thickness and made it a component.
Then copied it 20 times, roughly rotated them from the corner, copied and rotated that stack and you have a stack of 40.

Thanks Jean, I have no problem doing that, was just looking for more of an automation.
