  time reverse and compositing

  Posted by Joseph Ahn on May 22, 2008 at 8:57 pm

  i’m trying to composite a dynamic simulation.
  i got a 3D dynamic simulation of a grid of squares exploding, e.g., a multi-screen video wall is fragmented into several pieces.

  now i reversed this simulation, so that the fragmented pieces come into one piece of screen. this is easily done in AE. however, i can’t seem to match that with my background layer which has a camera movement. if i reverse the background, it of course matches, but i need my background to be as it is.

  what would be the best solution for this? is there a solution?

  i’d appreciate your help.

  i figured it out, but not sure if that’s the best way.
  i couldn’t find a way to do this in AE. i ended up “time reverse” in maya which was pretty simple.
  let me know if you anyone know how to do this in post.
