In just one weekend, you will gain the basic knowledge and practical skills to create interactive 3-D Web animations using Microsofts Liquid Motion. The graduated, fast-track approach makes Web animation accessible to the average user without requiring previous programming knowledge or experience. The informal style of the book allows you to progress at your own pace and experiment along the way. The five main sessions are composed of several tutorial exercises that take you from basic to more sophisticated animations, and show you how to publish them effectively on the Web. The companion CD-ROM includes all sample graphics and files from the book, a Web art library and collection of True Type fonts, a selection of templates that utilize Liquid Motion animations, an assortment of software tools for creating HTML files, and much more.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Creating web animation is actually pretty easy. You sit down and sketch out a storyboard of the screens you want. You create the screens in programs such as Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro and save them as gifs. Then, you import and arrange them with programs such as Microsoft Gif Animator, GifBuilder, or Liquid Motion and upload them to your web account. Callihan provides a very simple, clear walk-through of all these steps to create web animations quickly. The book primarily focuses on Liquid Motion and MS Frontpage, but the steps generalize to the many other free and shareware programs for web animation. A 45-day save-enabled version of Liquid Motion is included on the CD.

Liquid Motion Discontinued....,

This review is from: Create Web Animations with Microsoft Liquid Motion In a Weekend (Paperback)
Microsoft has stopped supporting Liquid Motion. So basically, this book is obsolete.

Good web design book but..,
By The Computer Doctors, Inc. (Cleveland, OH.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Create Web Animations with Microsoft Liquid Motion In a Weekend (Paperback)
This book is easy and non-confusing. The text clearly explains what needs to be done when creating web pages with animation. The included CD comes with all lot of great software to use but it doesn't come with Liquid Motion software. Microsoft has stop supporting and is not giving access to their web animator Liquid Motion. This has happen on Jan 26, 2000. And Microsoft doesn't have a replacement for the software as of yet. When trying to download the trial copy the server times out. And I feel when you are featuring a book that highlights ONE program a trial copy of the software should be include and if not have updated information on how to get the software.
