Help animation in black and white

Post by shift »

I don't know why, but my animation is rendering black and white even though it's in color in design view. How do I remove this?

All your shapes have a gradient applied to it. It doesn't show in edit mode, but you'll easily see it in the styles palette. Select all shapes (with the Q tool), then set the effect to "none".

(But it's interesting, in a weird way. Maybe somebody could use this ...)

It is interesting in a weird way. I was thinking of using the effect to suggest someone reflecting on the past. I just need to figure out how I did it in the first place lol. Thanks for the help guys. I haven't tried your suggestions yet, but they make sense so I'm sure they'll work. I have to go on the road now. I spent most of Today in a meeting, choreographing a fight scene for a music video and drawing a comic strip I added to my blog. No animation practice as yet. :(

I'm pretty sure you are doing it wrong.
Use the select shape tool, select a shape, then go to style window, check that both combos in effect be "plain".
Repeat the same process with each shapes.

PD: another option is that a style is being applied to each shape. Go to style window, Style combo. If there is an undesired style there, select it and then go to the style combo, delete.

That's what I did and results are still the same. I'm starting over the animation.

OK wait...I'm making progress. Not all of it is gone but most of it is. Going over the objects again to see what still has an effect on it.

Oh crap now I see what's happening. Each blade of grass is an individual object. I have to go click each one and undo the effect. Yeah, I'm starting over.

One way round making these laborious changes in the future is to have a particle effect represent grass. Search the forum -- a number of people have done it (and there may even be a tutorial on this...)
You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

My advice - don't use styles. You'll probably end up running into similar problems like this down the line. Enough to make a person despair.
