animating letters

Post by manit »

Code: Select all

I have this wonderful idea
Let us suppose
                  |X axis
                  |
                  |_____ Y axis
                / 
             /
           Z axis


We have MANIT
I want to do following animation 
(1)rotate M with respect to X axis bisecting the letter
(2)A should swing like pendulum pegged at tapering top
(3)I should move to & fro along X axis while N slides horizontally
(4)rotate T in full circle with respect to Z axis at its middle.
How can I do above using imagemagick ?

you will need to use -distort SRT (for rotation and for scale), -distort Perspective (for perspective rotation) and such on each letter separately and then composite them together. The perspective rotation may possibly be facilitated by my script 3Drotate, see link below.
