Snagit Beta for Mac and my final 3D Flash

Today I downloaded the Beta version of Snagit for Mac!  I am so excited!  I have it on my Windows computer, but I usually use my Mac since I have Adobe Web Premium on it, and have really missed out on using Snagit.  Jing is great for a free program, but Snagit is amazing!

… and here is a link to the final version of my Flash animation that introduces Volume

 

Fun creating a Flash Animation for a 3D image in 3D!

Today I spent quite a few hours building “blocks” (cubes) from scratch in Flash and placing them into
3 dimensional space to fill a rectangular prism!

It was a visually interesting problem to try to figure out which cubes to put in first, and
which ones had to be on a higher layer in Flash then the other ones!

Plus I had to try to get them to “fit” into a geometric rectangular prism. (OK, I gave up, they didn’t fit exactly!)

The end product wasn’t too bad though! (this is a JING video taken of just part of the Flash animation)
