Hi
Thanks to all who took part in last week's hammer challenge. This week we have a bridge over a ravine made using World Creator, Blender, Adobe Substance and Xfrog. What will you make with it, who will cross it?
The “rules”:
- Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc.
- Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert.
- There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

Hi, here we are currently facing an enormous challenge, because Tamis grandpa worked as an engineer to build bridges, she remembered. What may be starting to change since the invention of the bow and arrow technology it was possible to replace these daredevil bridge constructions with modern cableways. More than logical that various circus people used gramps works for their stunts.

Haha, Dave, we don't get outlaw bike gangs riding into our Capital city — only Rolling Thunder with hundreds of thousands of vets from all over the country roaring in on their Harleys on Memorial Day. It's something to behold. But yes, I expect they would scoff at the beautiful Harley bicycles!

Hah! My innitial plan was to animate Dave Kenevil slide in from the side of the screen with the I don' need no stinkin' bridge speach bubble, then slide him off screen and have a bike come in from the bottom right corner, and disappear across the ravine and hit the other side with a big SPLAT. But after trying for ages I couldn't find an angle of Evil that would work, and there were going to be problems with changing perspective anyway. Remember when we did the first forum banner challenge and we were messing about with different ideas including GIFs? That was a lucky accident, but it worked out really nicely. You construct the layers with Step & Repeat, and as the graphic gets smaller with each step it appears to slow down, thus giving a great dissapearing into the distance effect.. I can't remember if the arc was achieved by adding a _tiny_ angle to the Step & Repeat, or by warping the group containing the layers, but I definitely FT'd the group to fine tune positioning and start and finish points. So quick and easy to do if you have the image elements.
