Animating A Ribbon

[tomyknoker]

Hi all,

On the corner of my site I have a ribbon, I thought when the page loads it would be cool to have the ribbon fall from top to bottom like a ribbon really would, just not sure the best way to achieve that effect, anyone seen anything like this before? I've attached the image of the ribbon if that helps...

Have a lot at this, it might help:

Nice link Medyman.

If you don't want to deal with the 3D aspects (eclipse is a hairy beast for sure!) you might just think about a couple masks and some frame by frame animation.

If you need an example just ask :D

Hey Blizzard! Could I get an example? :) That would be great! Would it help if I actually sent you the ribbon I designed? It's only a Fireworks file though...

Sure, go ahead and attach it, I will snag it when I get to this example :)
