Create a masking object with a tube-shaped hole.We want to lower the level of the liquid in the tube while the tube rotates. This one stretches the PowerPoint capabilities and uses a trick that, unfortunately, doesn’t always work. Obviously, it would be nice to pour the liquid from a vessel. The Wipe animation starts when the first drop arrives here’s the animation pane: The content object of the beaker is split into two parts the lower rounded rectangle is static and the upper part has a Wipe/From Bottom animation. The “drop stream” is a circle with a Fly In/From top animation, Repeated five times. Here’s a version with a stream of “drops:” I set the duration of these effects to 0.2 sec (slowing down the animations makes the liquid appear more viscous): To add a filling stream, create an elongated, narrow rounded rectangle reaching from a point off the top of the slide to the bottom of the beaker:Īdd E ntry/Stretch/From Top animation and Exit/Collapse/To Bottom to the “stream.” Set the timing so that the entry precedes the fill animation and the exit is just before the end of the fill. Thanks a lot.įor more on this and some work-arounds, see this post. And there is no option to select the “hard” edged version. In PowerPoint 2007, the Microsoft geniuses changed the Wipe effect so that it has a “soft” or blurred edge. Here is some additional glassware made the same way:įilling one of the vessels is pretty easy: just create a “contents object” behind the vessel object and add Entrance/Wipe from Bottom animation: You can experiment to get the effect you like but note that any background may affect the result. The color of the contents is affected by the semi-transparent fill of the beaker. To show contents in the beaker, create a filled round-corner rectangle behind/in Back of the beaker: The highlight fill is white, about 60% transparent.The beaker fill is a light blue, about 70% transparent.The right highlight is a copy of the left one, flipped and narrowed slightly. The highlight shapes are point-edited rectangles.The graduation marks are Lines with Format Shape/Line Style/Cap type set to Round.You can also use the PowerPoint 2010 Merge Shapes/Union tool to combine the rectangle with an inverted Trapezoid. The basic shape is a Round Same Side Corner Rectangle, converted to a Freeform and edited by points to create the rim.Since the vessels are patterned after labware, I added graduation marks. A glass-like appearance is provided by a transparent fill and a couple of highlights. I used simple 2d shapes and heavy outlines to draw a set of vessels. These animations can demonstrate gains, losses and processes.įluids change shape and PowerPoint is not very helpful in “morphing” shapes, so there are limits to this kind of animation. This post is about animations involving fluids and glass containers: filling, leaking, bubbling, reacting, etc.
