Colour fan
Posted: October 3rd, 2007, 6:45 pm
Hi there
I'm very new to expressions but need to build a basic colour fan - the kind that you'd see at a paint store - showing you the spectrum of paints available.
like this:

i need the layers to be in 3d so that i can move a camera around them, but i'd like each of the layers to fan in and out, then zoom in on specific colours and panels (in my colour fan, there'll probably only be 10 layers i'd imagine)
the way i'm planning on doing this is by lining up each of the individual fan layers, then giving them all the same anchor point (the lower left hand corner) - then parent their rotation to a null layer -
to see the wheel fan out like a fan - there'd need to be an expression for each layer to fan out with a half second delay - i presume? This is probably a really simple expression - but if anyone has any ideas or tips - i'd be really grateful!
