Help with creating an image

kenljames

I need help creating a birds eye view of a ball that can appear to roll in any direction. Does anyone know if this is even possible to create on GS realistically, also if it is how would i go about achieving this effect. Any help would be awesome, especially if I can get an example of your solution.

Thank You for your help.

you will just need an overhead view of a ball and animate with several image frames to create a rolling look it is definitely possible just need to be and artist,find an artist, or find free art to do it.

Hello kenljames,
if you would like a semi realistic look, you must make sure to also create a shadow! Without shadow, it will not look right, no matter what you try. There will always be that floating in space look ...
Last year, I made a Flash based golf game and two things helped me "fake" the camera perspective and distance look. Shadow and zoom (zoom as making the ball smaller so that it looks as it fell into the hole.

Have fun :-)
