Last week I wrote of how movement controlled by the mouse can be more organic by introducing factors such as speed and acceleration. For part 2 of the series, I’m adding mouse angle/direction into the equation.
In my previous post I mentioned that my plan for the redesign of the AEN website will include a more organic interface which reacts to mouse interactions better. I did an early experimental concept of how the classic easing mouse-following movieclip can be made more organic.
What’s a mouse-following movieclip? You can find examples of mouse-following movieclips at the Haze website I did and this Kirupa tutorial. Below is an example I did.
Recently I have been working on a Flash project which included an XML gallery. My goal in the design was to make navigating the thumbnails and images as hassle-free and intuitive as possible. One of the interactive features is for the gallery to be scrollable via the mousewheel.
