BAR MUTATING



Supplies:

one clear or colored gif...sized to 500x500(U can re-size when finished)

A bar graphic of your choice...in this case I used one that besides being wide (as most are) it is also "THICK")I think that's why I got this effect.
Original:




1)Open the clear graphic @IM
2)Bring in the BAR and Comp/OVER with the original BAR in the "center".(NO rotation)
3)REPEAT step #2.. Hit composite only this time...place in the ROTATION box...20
Subsequent comp's will add an increase by twenty degrees in the rotation i.e.,40,60,80,100,120,140,160,180...STOP there.

NOTE Each time you go to comp the same original bar change "OVER" to something else: diff,modulate,subract etc.
Should you get a mass of white you can remove it by using Matte/none(for color)/replace/FUZZ@1000 and hitting the area you wish to be transparent.
Black areas...I couldn't get transparent,so I'd just change it to a color.
Each time you comp ...all you do is enter a NEW rotation parameter.

I'd use a different thingie ea. time(diff,subtract,color red,etc) and I removed the WHITE spaces that would appear. Then I swirled it @60.

It was optimized and I started w/500x500 clear,but when done I re-sized it 400x400.(resize smaller and you have buttons or whatever.
