    Mesh Fragmentation

    Posted by Scott Skaja on November 21, 2008 at 5:36 pm

    AE 8.02.27 CS3 on an Intel MacPro w/ 6GB memory.

    I’m creating fiber optics in a 1920×1080 23.98fps Comp. I have made a full screen gradient, sized it down on Y scale and applied Mesh Warp to get the bend. I’ve then Motion Tracked the fibers to match into shot footage of fibers. I went back to a frame to look at the created fibers and they are now fragmented in up to 4 pieces each. I’ve restarted AE, restarted the Mac, Purged Image Caches.

    Does anyone have any thoughts on what the problem might be?

    Any ideas on why it might be fragmenting when Mesh Warp is applied?

    I needed much convincing on this approach, bit I now understand why this is a good approach.

    Thanks for the tip, it worked great.
