Tutorial Showcase #12
DeviantART is a great place to find not only art but also some awesome tutorials. It doesn't matter if you are interested in photo manipulation or writing, usually there is a tutorial for that. But at the same time there are so many great tutorials outside of deviantART and most deviantART users might never find them unless someone shows these tutorials to them. So I'm happy to introduce you a new journal series called "Tutorial Showcase" which features some awesome tutorials outside of deviantART. System is pretty simple. Every showcase journal showcases five or six tutorials (seven in this opportunity) from a specific category and this category changes with every new journal. There's no special placement, all of them are equal. So here we go!
The theme for this time is:
Animation!
This is an animation tutorial that shows how to create and animate falling snow, using displacement layers in Photoshop, the beauty of this tutorial is that the resulting snow-falling animation appears much more realistic when using the displacement layer in the way that Photoshop instructor Corey Barker teaches us!

This Adobe After Effects tutorial shows us how to make 3D looking animation using 2D images! Daniel Gies teaches us this wonderful technique, which is extremely useful for those who would like to make their animations more "alive"!

This is a quick blinking tutorial in Adobe Flash that will teach you not only how to create a blinking animation, but you will have the chance to grab the provided script, that will allow you to randomize the blinking! This can make your characters appear less "robotic", which is the main goal of every animator! Have fun!
