i found the site too derivative. the bubbles aren't done in flash - they are
an imported sequence of bitmaps. looks like they were created in a 3d
package that has the ability to do basic blobs.

Yep, the button/menu is an imported sequence of bitmap images made in another
software utality. In order to get a ground-level understanding of what all of
this means you must design graphics and the like before you can do stuff like
this.

3ds Max is probably the easiest program, as far as basic creation, goes.

There are a TON of 3d-style programs out there, all you've gotta do is search
for 'em.

As far as the 'Import" factor, you'd end up creating an object (say, Sphere1)
and you'd use that as your Button's properties in the "Up" frame.

Then, create ANOTHER one (Sphere2 - altered enough for it to be different -
and put it in the button's "Over" frame.

Summary: Create four DIFFERENT objects (Sphere1, Sphere2, etc... one for each
of the Button States,(Up, Over, Down, Hit) import them to your library and
click on each of the frames. Drag the object from your library, onto the
working area, place it and go to the next one. When you're done, you can use
Flash to add the object's shadow (Use the opacity - or Alpha - property to give
it it's own faded shdow effect.

yeah my only intention was to know how to make those buttons animation...
That morphing from one button to 2 separating like a bubble... DAMN GOOD!

Along with 3DS any other good and easy program to do that?? Preferably with
export into flash....????

WOOWWWHH you can make that bubble animation in photoshop/fireworks??? You are kidding right??

Re: How the hell can i do something like this?? Spinethetic

It would be rather easy to make them in photoshop, the morphing would just be a
45 frame sequence of the same concept, frame-by-frame graphics.

But shouldent you be designing something original, by this i mean something
that you 100% came up with in your mind? Not something someone else designs.

Is there actually and idea that is 100 original? One that no human has EVER
thought of before? If you have some, I would sure like to see them! How
about posting a portfolio?

That question has been bugging me for the last year - I learn new
flash things when following up specific ideas - and, for the most
part, every time I want to find out how to do something, someone has
not only thought of it already, but done a tutorial. Where do you
draw the line between "don't reinvent the wheel" and "your work is
derivative"?

Sure, by trying to copy some effect you like you can learn more and get your
skill up. That's rewarding. But it's even more rewarding inventing a design
problem of your own and finding a solution to it.

Having said that, bubbles are RAD! (as in cool)
