nice.
good luck with your project! -
hey.
You can bake [export] a tracer into Allembic.
It does a good job of retaining animation. -
is the thicker one a brush stroke by any chance?
Those respond differently to stroke width than the standard stroke. -
I wrote a small tut about this, maybe it’ll help

If you’re using AE text as a custom layer and then extruding using Element, the UV will be stretched so you’ll get that weird texture wrap. If you want better control over your textures its better to make it in Cinema and bring the whole polygonal model into Element.
Inside Cinema the standard UV projection should work fine, but if that doesn’t look right try box projection and refit the texture as you need. Then once you’re happy with the fit; right-click and ‘generate UV co-ordinates’ so that Element will fit it correctly. Then if you still want to animate the texture just replace the texture with the custom layer from there.

If you are moving straight into Cinema the tracker there works REALLY well. It might even be a better pipeline to build the 3D stuff there once the track is done and export cameras to AE instead.

shape layers right?
This works for me:
content("Stroke 1").strokeWidth/(thisComp.layer("Null 1").transform.scale[0])*100To implement:
set an expression on the Stroke Width, then add a /
then pick whip the x value of your parented null
and finally add a *100 -
Doesn’t seem to be an option in Form but it is doable in Plexus, probably not a very helpful answer though.
There is a check-box under the points-renderer for “points perspective aware”
It should take a point cloud in a similar way to Form so not too much work to translate the work if you happen to have plexus. -
check Dan Ebberts’ post near the end of this thread, it may help you to target that selected shape

Is that rubber hose?
Maybe the rig for the left arm is upside-down, you could try re-rig – it looks like an expression/orientation issue more than a keyframe interpolation issue.
