i tryed obscuring it as well as setting the particle to be the last layer yet din’t work. : (

What am i doing wrong?

[Allen Joaquin]

No, i tryed that but din’t fix the problem.

Right that’s exactly what i needed thnx, but there’s still a problem, the image looks weird, reflected on the middle. I tryed changing some settings and couldn’t find what was bothering it.

And what did u mean with “To apply the alpha information onto the material, you would create another Pre-comp, and apply the Pre-Comp as Layer Map 2, and load it into the Transparency section in the Material Editor. ”

Here are some screenshots of the problem. I tryed with different objects (Video/Images/Solids) yet the problem remains.

Yup i’ve thought about that, actually i belive it’s the best way to map it onto a layer map but i still can’t figure out how to do it. Cause let’s see thoese are the steps i follow (Notice i’m still new to this plug-in and don’t rlly understand everything)

My whole scene is made out of

– Null Object
– Camera parente to the null object
– Solid with 3D Invigorator Pro.

Now, inside of the plug-in i’ve imported a proyect i’ve made in cinema 4D with contains a Gear and i’ve used the first 3 sets to make the shape of the gear in 3D by creating a gear-inside gear.

Now, when i try to do what u said about the layer maps.

I’ve imported my file inside of the composition and precomposed and used the first Layer Map 1

but i get lost when u say “apply the Layer Map as a texture on a material and apply the material onto the circle shape”

And the circle shape do i create that as an object inside of Invigorator pro editor? If u could give me more details please.

Thank you again.

[Allen Joaquin]

The solution to this is not to Drag the file making a composition from it, instead just make a composition by itself and then import your file.

At least that’s what fixed it for me. ^^

Right, i rendered the oject buffers but what do i do now? I have my animation done in Cinema 4D (The gears rotating) and i rendered it as TIF. then i rendered the multipass as PSD. i imported everything to AE but i still don’t see the way to put the image/video inside of the gears..

I was using Zxwerks Invigorator PRO since when i get the gears inside AE i can still animate them with the rest of things inside of AE but HOW should i put the image inside.. no clue ..

And Szalam the example is on the first thread the first video.

Sorry for double post.
