    !!HELP!!!

    I am an OTIS grad student-novice user who managed
    to layer map a scaling cloud image on my chrome 3d
    logo made in Zaxwerks Invigorator using one of John
    Dickenson’s tutorials. I am in a real desperate
    situation since that animation frame grab has to
    become a high resolution image for a lightjet print
    for a charity CHRISTIES auction at Creative Artists
    Agency in Beverly Hills this week
    (www.angelart2006.org). I have to deliver my
    Photoshop file to the color house Tuesday Nov. 5th AM.
    I can’t seem to reproduce the same EXACT layermap
    with promodeler (The animation was created over a year
    ago and I just don’t remember the lighting and other
    settings I used). Does anybody know how to Export my
    Invigorator model from After Effects to my Promodeler
    with the Layer map in place? Or for that matter have
    any other suggestions or work arounds?

    Hello S. A.

    If you have your original After Effects scene, you can open it
    and render a high-res image by changing the size of your Comp
    and rendering a single image to a Photoshop file. AE can handle this quite well.

    Do you have your original AE scene?

    Thanks.

    I DO have my scene. Could you walk me through the
    rendering of a high res frame out of the AE scene?

    Thanks

    One way to do it…

    Change the comp size to the resolution you want. Go to Composition>Composition settings to do that.

    Change the solid to which Invigorator is applied to “comp size.” Select the solid Layer>Solid Settings> Make Comp size.

    Then: Comp> Save File As>Photoshop Layers.

    You can then further up-scale the file and perform other adjustments in Photoshop if you want.
