Thanks for the replies, and thanks Steve for the generous information!
I would love to hear about those swap-able backup drives. do they come with a simple piece of software? How are they connected to the PC? Can I try and arrange such method via USB3?

Regarding the off-site (i am looking for the best cloud solution, still researching…)

Thank you all.

Thanks Andrei. Sounds simple and makes sense.
I thought there might be a ways with 1 null but its probably simpler with 2.

Thanks for the informative answers!
I thought so, but since every couple of years this qustion floats, i had to ask. And yes for a minute i thought Dave is a roto lover;-). Every couple of years I bump into one of those.
In any case thanks for the technical tips!
ill try the minus gel idea!
and btw although unmult is a great free plugin i use often, in a similar situation i found it less helpful than i thought. a lot of surprising opacity on the talent that needed attention.

thanks again

Dave thanks for replying!
Roto fun for the black you mean? I assume there are ways of luma matte or other manipulation of implementing into the black, but If the green would be as close as it can o prefect, sounds like green is the way. Right?

I can use a station with E3D if it can help me!

[Adam Lewen]

I can use or at least test it in a studio next to me. I rarely use it. Is there a way of having a stroke to an object and reveal it?
Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for the reply guys!
Emre Anil – great great tip with that repetile expression – i managed to quickly create it and it’ll work great (i tweaked it to the expand up) and it works great.

The downside if that, is that the shape wont be able to be “born” a floor becase the pattern will alyays be there (the lowest/shortest shape is when the expand parameter is at – 0.

Thanks!

You are right, these are 2D shapes.
I thought of having the ability of controlling the shapes height. kind of having them dance, each different height.
For that a 2D shape would be strange, since im skewing the scale of the 3d looking 2d shape.

That’s why I thought an actual extrusion should be applied, I was looking for extrusion methods.
You are right, it would be hard to imitate.

[Adam Lewen]

Thanks for the reply Dave!
Do you mean a shape from illustrator to be extruded via the ray-trace or the cinema 4d renderers? if so how would an unorthodox shape such a pyramid would be extruded?
Assuming ill tweak the shape to have one of the faces different (like the pattern in the example)
Thanks!

So yes I believe Mocha + clean plate + a bit of manual adjustments will give you an unnoticeable solution!

Good luck!
