SnowBall Tutorial  Welcome Once you have the snow ball idea down pat you can use it to make your snow ball fights. First your going to open up animation shop, and then open a new canvas 400  by 400 then your going to right click the canvas and send it to paint shop Pro. We are going to make a snowball that your going to put into your tubes first. For later use. Take your rope  tool   and make a circle on your canvase in shape of a snowball now you know that snowballs are rugged and don't always have smooth surfaces. so don't be perfect with your circle.   Now your going to choose the flood fill tool and go to your  color palette   and choose White. Now click inside the circle you have made and it will fill it with white. now were going to make it look like a snowball using the swirl in your eye candy plugins. and filters. The diagram shows you where to find it. Go to effects then plugins and eye Candy and then swirl.   Next you need to set your  settings like I have mine. Or play with it to a desire you wish. Keep in mind you want the snow ball looking effect.    Next  just click on checkmark when your done.  Now  your going to click red x on image and click yes to  update your snowball back to animation shop.  Note you only have this option if you start your work in animation shop so always open your work canvas in animation and send to psp7   Now Crop Image. And right click and send to animation  shop      Now your going to tube your snow ball so  you will always have it when you need it. First click on file then Export then Picture Tube   Now you need to set your tube. use the diagram below as a guide   Now your done making a tube out of your snowball. Note: anytime you do a graphic and feel you will need it time and time again  always best to get it looking the way you want and tube it.    Continued  to Animating Snowball.   © WebHelp
