  • 3D stroke not appearing exactly on mask in LARGE comps

    Posted by Scott G on November 3, 2005 at 1:48 am

    Another problem, In my 6000×5000 comp, the 3D stroke doesn’t appear exactly ove my mask. In some places it is quite off.

    See screenshot: https://www.geersen.com.au/3dstrokeOFF.jpg

    It seems that toward the middle of the line/stroke, it’s matched up to the mask. But the further towards the two ends, the more it’s off. Seems regardless of the mask’s position on the layer (eg, centre or sides or top etc).

    ???

    Have posted these in the Trapcode forum as well.
    Thanks!

    do you have continuous rasterization on sometimes it does this.

    That happens to me a lot. Why does the continuous rasterize/collapse transform mess up alignment so often?

    Actually, no, collapse/continuous raster isn’t on. I think I’ve figured out the problem though. A little sheepish, but this turns out to be just as annoying. When preview quality is at FULL, the stroke appears exactly as it should. As soon as you move the preview quality to half or anything below full, the line jumps off the mask. VERY annoying, because I can work much faster in 1/4 res than i can in full res – but now I have to preview in full res when, for example, adding arrow-heads to my strokes etc, because in 1/4 res the stroke isn’t actually where you think it is. Grrr!!!

    Looks like you are uisng 3D Stroke with non-square pixels, that won’t fly.
