Hey everyone, ive been digging around for hours trying to find the formula to calculate a position and offset of a square. In my case a monitor screen. I have a shot where there is a monitor on a...

Thank you kindly, this helps a lot.

I too have an expression question if you have the time. I am trying to randomize between 3 values in a grade's multiply every 12 frames, but am having no luck.

Thanks.

Same, since I had never used the Z portion in a vector pass I was not sure if there was some special way to use it.

Is the camera in motion for this shot? If so you will have to matchmove the shot anyways and most software can give you a very close if not exact focal length. I suggest syntheyes, its very...

Hey guys,

To my knowledge nuke does not have the ability to use the z channel for motion blur using a vector pass from maya. Am I correct in this? I assume with deep compositing it would be...

Don't like lookfx much? My roomies been there for a little over a year and now, I heard some horror stories of a lot of the shots. The breakdown finally put the visuals to his description.

Awesome, thnx for the link.

Its just a matter of remembering to set the reference frame to the frame that your roto is in its correct place. The times I have problems its normally user error with a few occasions where the...

I wont say every job is like that, but the majority have been. Mostly small shops who like to underbid projects. There are a lot of installments of this type of video all very basic looking like...

haha, oh really? Guess I should have watched it first before linking it. It was the first in the search so I assumed it was a good example. Glad you found something though. As for projections,...

Integration in general is pretty much the same for both 3D and 2D. You make sure the lighting matches, your blacks match, and your saturation matches. Try looking up some photoshop integration...

It has to do with your center. When you link the center to your tracker it keeps your center relative to the shape you created but translates the center to match that of your tracker. Its habit for...

Haha, indeed.

:/ Sadly I expected as much, was just holding onto that last ray of hope before I suck it up and buy a new one.

Cheers

Happy New Year, lets all strive to make this year even better than last!

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a place that can repair damaged wacom tablets?

I have an old Intuos 2, 18X12. The tablet is not demolished, but the casing is cracked up pretty bad...

It is absolutely worth learning, but not mandatory. Cinematography is just photography with a different type of camera. Lighting and Composition are key to having an aesthetically pleasing photograph...

I agree mboden's critique. At the current stage you are at with the simulation there should be no camera effects what so ever. You should also watch some reference of exploding choppers or even...

Click the button that looks like a curve to the right of whatever you are keyframing and scroll down to delete key.

If you want to delete every keyframe choose No Animation in the same area.

I believe you can just copy the trackers and go into your object tab then paste them. On the site ssontech.com there is a video that does something like that.

Thanks for that Tommy, ive got to start frequenting thefoundry articles more often. This is pretty exciting new, should be an interesting transition for them.

I came across a job add the other day for a Nuke Comp Supe which sparked my interest a bit. To my knowledge Dreamworks has always done its lighting/comp in their 3D package aside from paint fixes....
