Any resemblance to another
tutorial is purely coincidental.
For this tutorial, I’m using a
tube by Rene Kunert
The tube is now FTU &
available here.


Supplies:
Tube of choice
Animation Shop

Plugins:
Mura Meister Copies
VM Experiemntal TeeWee
VM Toolbox
Xenofex Constellation

Open up your tube image.
Now your going to open two
new images.

Image 1 600x600
Image 2 600x-250
For now shrink the Image 1.

Now on Image 2,
Copy & paste your tube
as a new layer.

Apply Mura Meister Copies
Wallpaper rotate default settings.
Once applied,
click on the bottom layer with your
magic wand tool.
Selections invert & press delete.
Select none.

Okay now apply the plugin

default settings.

Add a new raster layer
on top of the image.
Fill with a color of choice from your
tube.
Click this layer with your magic wand.
Selections modify contract by 5.
Press delete & select none.
Adjust add noise uniform 25.

Copy merged & paste this image onto your
600x600 new image.
On your main tube,resize 80% if needed.
Paste in front of your image layer.

Add text to the tag as wanted.
I positioned the text I chose under
the tube on the tag.

Resize all layers 88%
Add copyright info & name
to the tag.
If you are not animating, then save tag now.
To animate, please continue.

On your plugin effects layer,
apply Xenofex Constellation Bling Bling
default settings. Make sure

Apply plugin.

Now Copy merged into AS.
Paste as a new animation.
Now back in psp,
undo constellation.
Reapply it making sure to click
on random seed once.

Copy merged into AS & paste
after current frame.
You want to repeat this until you
have a total of 5 frames in AS.

In AS, select all.
Change frame properties to 20.
View animation.
If happy, save as gif.
