Thanks for all the replye’s

The info pan just shows the same color info numbers top and bottom!

Concerning the shading and optical illussion, if i chang it to whith without gradient it is still the same.
And if i change the BG color to black it is still the samen, and this is also with any other bg colors.

If i chang the color for the top and bottom layrs into antoher color beside organge, you stil see the
same different that the top is darker than the botom.

if i use the rectangle tool to mak e a new top and botom i still have the same color issue to.

Thanks

thanks for reaction.

there is no transfer mode on the text, and i dont tink that is the issue.

Beacause, lik mentioned before, i opend a totally new project with only 1 solid in the comp, noting more.
That is the picure off the full orange

[Anilio Sweet]

Thank you for your help and information.

I will try it and see what wil happen.

But another question, the goal is i want to make the logo in crystal, how do i do that?

I have the logo in element 3d extrude

[Kevin Camp] “if you were looking to make that diamond texture in ae, you might be able to get something close using the cell pattern and cc glass effects.
create a comp, add a new solid and add the cell pattern effect
for starters, set the cell pattern to ‘crystals’ and animate the evolutions, you can also adjust the disperse and size properties as needed. note you can use the ‘cycle evolutions’ option in the evolution settings to create a loop, which can be handy if you want to render this out to use as a texture in element 3d.
then drop that comp into a new comp.
if you have footage or an image that you can use as a reflection map, add that, if not, create a new solid and add fractal noise, defaults are fine, you can make adjustments later.
to that layer add cc glass and set the surface>bump map layer to be the cell pattern comp, decrease the softness (start around zero), increase the displacement (start around max value) and adjust the height property to get something that starts to resemble the crystal shapes in your example.
adding the glow effect would help too
you could also add a levels or curves effect prior to the cc glass effect to get control of the values in the texture that is reflects in the cc glass effect.

It won’t be the same as your example, but it may be close enough for you to use as a texture map in e3d.”

I did everyting you mentioned, and indeed it look someway like crystals, soo thank you for tha. But i have difficult wit getting it in element as i use it as a texture map, it stil looks grey and dark, noting crystalize and shine and see true like a normal crystal… But it helped me a lot.
I will look some deeper in element if i can see how to fix this… Thanks a lot everyone

[Anilio Sweet]

Thank you all for your help.

Does anyone knows if i can make it with element 3d ? I can extrude the logo and than i want the cristal effect on it… or should i combine al off above and than is should use that as a trackmate or a custumeshader or reflection map or somethings?

Becaus the logo needs to be 3d

I still have to try what was mentioned before but i have to do that after work, over 6 hours.

Thanks again for al the help.

[Anilio Sweet]

Thank you once again.

it also works.

Just like you said it will need some adjustment, how ever.. i just cant get the theet fit in the wholes of the other gear… it rotates and moves good.. but what ever i try it just rotates and the theeth are falling instead of IN the other theet holes ON the other theethh..

grrr but thanks again.. your help was verrryyy usefull.

[Anilio Sweet]

Thank you a lot.

It indeeds just works like you said, amazing things expression.

But i have another question.

Why does it only rotate for almost 3 sec, and than it stops??

What if i want to make it rotate for al longer or shorter period?

And maybe you can help me with this also:

Say i have on my screen from left to right a solid or rectangle and i put the letter V’s in it so it wil have theet like a gear, but not round, but a straight line.

And say i have my roundgear coming out of the screen from left to right, and i want only my gear to rotate on the still image gear?
So it looks like my gear is rotating and rolling on the other.

How can i make the rotation work with the position from left to right so the theet will fit in eachother even as the gear rotate from left to right?

I hope you understand want.

Thank you again!!

[Anilio Sweet]

Thank you all, once again.

I did find it like you al mentioned, i just didn’t read wel.

Cheers and God bless you all!!

[Anilio Sweet]

First off all,, thank you to every one who recponced.

Todd, i did watch the video’s but he doenst explain how to rotate the gears together, i have made all my gears, because of his video’s i founded. So thank you.

///

Tedd, thanks for the help. but i just dont gett the math..i all ready found on the Internet some way like you mentioned.. but i think i am just to stupid to understand.

////

For the rest of you all, also my thanks.. i will await the turorial
when it is done.. i hope you can sent me a link.. for now i’ll try to make other way’s the design.. but i know the gears need to be in the video, that is a MUST for the client.

Thank you for al your help, any other help is preciated.. if you think you can explain it in a simple way.

Hi Thanks for your repley.

I use Cs4 32bit. My after effects cant even impport the files. I’t give me direct an error.

Which codec do i need, and do you knwo where to get it ??

Thanks.

[Anilio Sweet]

Thank you for the quick response.

I have to make the whole scoreboard with the animation.

Well i think it has to deliverd as a FLA because of the scripting for the updates.

But i want to use Ae for making and animating the whole scoreboard becaus i am better with Ae than flash
and the effects looks better with Ae.

Then i want to export it to a XFL file for flash, but i dont know if i will loos some effects when rasterizing or perhaps not rasterizing. And i dont know if this will work
