I am making a video that shows how to tie climbing knots. The video needs animations of knot tying. The rope and knots need to look reasonably realistic. I am trying to figure out the best tools to use.
One approach I tried was to take a photo of a loosely tied knot, then using Photoshop, removed a little of the rope, duplicated the layer, removed a little more of the rope, etc. (I pasted in a little piece of rope when I deleted a rope that crossed over another rope.) I then imported this into Adobe Premiere and played the layers as a sequence. It looked great as the rope snaked its way into a knot. However, this approach will not work if I need to MOVE the rope (i.e., this approach shows the rope appear along a preset path, but I can’t move the rope or have a loop travel a path).
I’m looking for suggestions… I haven’t used Bryce, but I’ve seen some knots (usually Celtic, which isn’t what I’m doing) made with Bryce. I am a newbie when it comes to paths in PS, but I’ve thought that I might repeatedly stroke and move a path…
Ideas?
Thanks,
Steve
