Bullet Train

Bullet Train



Materials




You already know how to move a train
from Diesel Locomotive tutorial
This is all about how to change speed in the same layer
and how to create a flyover
So that you can use anything over it for animation

Either Train or any kind of Motor Vehicle

Open a document in PSP 670 x 450 transparent
Paint with color # 4681AA
Rename this layer Sky
Rectangle Selection Tool – Draw a Selection
Paint with # A09898


Effects – Texture Effects – Texture – Concrete


Selections – select None
Duplicate 2 times, with Move Tool set like this
Stand in the middle layer
Effects – 3D Effects – Drop Shadow
1 -1 – 80 – 14 Black
Bring this layer at the top
Layers – Arrange – Bring to Top


Layers – New Raster Layer
Go to Layers – Arrange and move this layer down
above sky layer. Paint with # E9E7E7
use Raster Deform Tool – Scale
Press top and bottom to set like this


Layers – New Raster Layer
Go to Layers – Arrange and move this layer down
above sky layer. Paint with # 463B3B
Effects – Texture Effects – Texture – Concrete
Use previous setting
With Raster Deform Tool – Scale
Press at the top and set like this
Rename this layer Road


Layers – New Raster Layer, add 4 layers
With Rectangle Selection Tool
Draw 4 Rectangle in 4 different layers
Each layer paint with color # C0C0C0 then selects none
I have shown step 1, 2 & 3 then final product
With Move Tool set them side by side like step 2
Use Raster Deform Tool – Mode Free
in 2nd & 4th layer
Use Drop Shadow like previous
in 1st & 3rd layer
Merge these 4 layers (Merge Down)
I have just shown you, make the pillar taller
According to your background


Duplicate 3 times, merge this 4 layers
Layers – Arrange and move this layer down
above Road layer
Create a Rail Line
Duplicate and place like this
If you do not know, how to create a line
See my Diesel Locomotive tutorial


Create an Electric Pole with Pen Tool
or may use my Pole
Copy & paste as new layer
Duplicate 3 times and set
Again copy & paste as new layer
Image – Mirror, Image – Resize 80%
Duplicate 3 times and set


Change Foreground color to # 000000
Select Pen Tool with this setting
Draw like this for both sets of poles


Now copy & paste the Bullet Train several times and move
See my Diesel Locomotive tutorial
For how to move a train and speed
Use “View – Rulers” for uniform gap

How I have written Parking
Selection Tool – Circle. Paint with # FFFFFF
Selections – Modify – Contract 2
Selections – Invert
Layer – New Raster Layer. Paint with # 0000FF
Then written P with red


Collect cars and apartments from internet and
decorate the picture with those

We are done
Now copy & paste the Bullet Train several times and move
See my Diesel Locomotive tutorial
For how to move a train and speed
Use “View – Rulers” for uniform gap


Zoom the image 400% by using the roller of the mouse


Then paste the nose of the train at 660
Again copy & paste the nose as a new layer at 630
Maintain a gap of 30
If you want to change the speed

Increase or decrease the gap


It will be like this


Keep the background open all the time
Open & close the Bullet Train layers one by one
Edit – Copy Merged
Go to Animation Shop and paste after current frame

Timing
At Animation Shop, Edit – Select All
Right click in any frame – Frame Properties, give 8
Edit – Select None
Click on First frame
Right click  – Frame Properties, give 200
Click on Last frame
Right click – Frame Properties, give 200
Both these frames don’t have any trains

Note:

Ideal timing for Bullet train is 6
It will fast and the animation will be smooth
But a little blur, due to the speed of the train

8 is better for visual effect

I have given 10, so that you can see properly
Because this is a tutorial
If you cannot see properly
How will you do it ?

Now it is your choice
Use Trial and Error method

In the second animation I have shown
how you can change the animation
keeping the same background

Layer’s position

 

 

 

 

 

 


For Flyover animation
 I zoomed the image to 400%
For Double Decker bus gap is 10
For Blue & white Bus, gap is 20
For Red Bus above flyover, gap is 30
For high speed car gap is 30
For slow speed car, gap is 20
Speed difference is the cause of overtaking

And for the whole thing I have given
Frame Properties 8
