I do, but it’s not being used in this comp, it’s part of a different version, I have a 30″ and 15″ version within the project, however I made sure it looked at the correct one by linking to a layer within the same comp and only to search for a comp across the entire project.

No, but the layer that I’m trying to link to is a null that drives the xyz position of an object inside Element 3D, could that be it? They belong to different 3D spaces.

This is excellent news.
Thanks a lot Paul.

Yes, that would work if I only had one or two texts, but I have a lot of them and each is different, so the masks won’t match. It’s just too much hand work and not a lot of time to do it.

The modulo operator (%) should do the trick, but I’m not sure of the rest of the expression that needs to be written to compensate for the length difference on each title layer.

Best,
David.

Thanks Dan,

I revised to this:

s=thisComp.layer(“Audio VO”).effect(“Both Channels”)(“Slider”)
t= linear(s,0,8,100,165);

if
(s>=1
&& time>=38
&& time <=62
)
{[t,t]
}
else
[100,100];

Depending on the layer I change the time values.

I’m not very familiar with this other writing convention you’re using, the question mark and the colon. I think I saw it once but that’s it, I’m guessing the ? means “then” and : means “else”, but I don’t see anything that means “if”

Is the old writing convention bad? Does it slow the program or something?

Thanks again.
D.

Did you ever figure this out? My nodes were working fine last night but today it’s the same thing, both the spy and result nodes. Some others show as undefined, even though I haven’t deleted anything from my scene.

Best,
David.

Hey Brian,

Do you have an email where I can send you the file? It’s less than 500k

Best,
D.

You can connect and delete the splines in c4d, but the holes in each letter will remain.
If you want to have one single spline for the whole word (as if it was cursive letter) then you would have to trace it manually.

[David Cabestany]

That was it, thanks a lot! I turned that on last time because Element 3D needs it and I forgot to turn it back off.

You saved my day man, thanks!

[David Cabestany]

Thanks a lot Adam.
