Hi,
I want to make a book with interactive animation, for example, a sky with stars, touch the star and it twinkles.
Is this possible for me to do, where do I start? - where should I make the animation and how to bring it into an ibook?
I know literally nothing about the animation side of ibooks so I'm looking for starting points. As someone who knows nothing about html, coding, will this be an impossibility?
Thanks very much
Elinor
There is an example similar to what you want... but it was done by a big studio!
The standard widgets do not do anything like it ...except the HTML 5 widget, but without coding knowledge or knowing somebody that does and has lots of time fee........
There is a website which may help - at a cost - ibook-widgets dot com they also have an excellent free tutorial for iBooks Author "Create your first Interactive books - using iBooks Author.
Thanks very much, it strange to me that they haven't made this easier to do, like some cross platform process where I can import an animation created in adobe or something. Thanks very much I"ll think about that website, think I'll concentrate on still first!
Thanks
Elinor
You can try to make animations Hype or Adobe Edge Animation, these apps can export to javascript. Later you can put in the ePub.
I do not remember for sure, but I think these apps can export widgets for iBooks Author also.
