Using Puppet Warp for small, complex objects
- In this movie, we'll take a look at a few special considerations when applying the puppet warp tool to very small, very complicated objects. And so here we are looking at another mess of path outlines from the Dreamstime image library, and it's all vector-based artwork, so it doesn't really matter how big it is, but as it so happens, this document is just one sixth as large as all the other documents we've seen in this chapter. And so if I were to turn on the ruler layer in order to see this ruler marked in inches, you can see that this guy from nose to tail is roughly five and a half inches long. Now, of course I could scale them to any size I like, but the fact that he is so very small, and so very complicated makes for a special challenge where the puppet warp tool is concerned. And so I'll go ahead and press control A, or command A on the Mac, to select all of the path outlines on this one and only one unlocked…
