Alright. This tutorial is random but extremely helpful. In this tutorial, you will be creating a sun for your outdoor animations.

Step 1. Open up Flash and create a blank document.
Step 2. Make a yellow circle with a thickness of 10.
Step 3. Go to Modify-Shape-Convert lines to fills.
Step 4. Go to Modify-Shape-Soften fill edges. Set the pixels and number of steps to 50.

You should end with something like this:

Ta-Da! You have created a realistic sun!

(Optional step: Fill in the circle in the middle white. I personally don't do this, but you may want to.)


If this helps you, please rep!!

hmmm.... you may want to use some pictures in the tut, and maybe tell them to make the sun a graphic also (so they dont mess up the sun with the BG) but ok tutorial, not necessary though. 5/10

I made it cause I've seen so many anims with bad suns. Did it help you out?

Show me an animation with a sun in it that was made on stickpage and i'll give you rep. No one makes suns here... this "tutorial" is useless and the information of converting lines to fills was already stressed in 2 of my tutorials, meaning that most people already know this.

Thanks, but no thanks.... Anyway, how in the world is the a "realistic" sun. Maybe it will help n00bs, but I doubt it.

ccopy and paste a picture of the sun.. WOOHOO .. rep me.. for using my idea ^_^ yay!

Even if it wasn' helpful, was it a good tut. (And paperclip, no need to be nasty)

LMAO....he just told a MOD(or is it admin?) what to do....omg...anyway..i didnt even read the tute....because like only 5 years olds are gonna use a sun in there anis...[SARCASM]it would look real nice when you make an ani and the guy starts to shoot someone and it blinds him...>_>[/SARCASM]

so no its not helpful....:(

Bad sun actually fits in somekinda anims... and ur sun there was way too small.............

Okay, could you please not flame me?

Hey, guys, no need to be cruel, I actually learned how to make an okay-looking sun from this(Even though ive never tried). But still, no need to be cruel, hes trying to help.
