Oh wow, that’s a bummer. Well this may at least get me started in the right direction. Cheers.

Awesome – I didn’t think Cinema would leave this one out! Thanks Adam! Any idea on how to constrain to a particular axis with this feature? It seems to scale every axis uniformly.
Thank you again!

Hey Ryan,
You mentioned working with the gradients….did you check “USE GRADIENTS” in the Depth of Field render window. I had to research this one from another forum and it changed everything!
Hope it works!

Bravo, Adam – I thank you greatly! I was about to put my head through the wall with this one!
Works like a charm!
Thank you!

Here is a screen shot of the issue…
The grayish square behind the head is an object I used as a background and is positioned so it wouldn’t be entirely behind the character so you can see when the hair goes in front of the background, it disappears.
On the transparency issue, it seams that putting lights in front of the hair resolved it but frankly, all of this doesn’t make any sense……bugs?
What do you think?
Thanks,

I actually did this with an animated texture in After Effects, as you mentioned. It worked well. I set up an 8.5 x 11″ comp, I displayed my timeline in frames and took note of the frame where each character started to be written, then matched the timing of the pen (with some refinement afterwards) in Cinema 4D. I rendered about every three frames in Cinema in low rez just to make sure the pen was lining up and timing out correctly. Worked great. I even used a proximal effect on the paper to detect when the pen was close to the paper and indent a bit with a bump map to look like the pen was pressing down on it. Pretty decent for what I was looking for. Hope that helps.

Wow! That was magnificent and a delight to watch. I can only imagine the planning and sound editing you had to do. A true pleasure to view, thanks for sharing!

Thanks Adam – We have to keep it local to Orange County should they need to come into the office/deal directly (face to face) with an artist at the studio here (which is very rare) but we need to have any artists working close to us.
