i ended up using a script pt_cropPrecomps to get the exact position info for each precomp. then i just swapped them out with the new animated one, everything is sharp.

i found it, i just rounded the numbers.

Math.round(transform.rotation)

[Isaac Wolfram]

your expression saved me lots of key frames and made it much easier to do any ramps. seriously i can’t thank you enough.

[Isaac Wolfram]

amazing, it works. is that an array?

i’m shocked. thanks for taking the time to reply.

my man dan ebberts, i did first try to look through your site before posting here, thanks for replying.

The text object, and illustrator file is a child of the rotating null. the null is rotating on the Y axis.

I am having a difficult time finding the math to relate the Y rotation of the null to the Y position of the text object.

I believe it’s:
Start
Text object Y -200
Null Rotation -20

End Pass out of Frame
Text Object Y +155
Null Rotation +67

Attached are some screen shots, ignore the 4 text elements I’m just trying to make it work with 1 first before making it go to all 4.

thanks for taking the time and doing the experiment yourself.

thread killed unless someone else has experienced this problem and found the reason why it isn’t working.

there is a crappy working around which involves precomping the depth pass, inverting it, luma matting the depth pass with an alpha, adding a black solid behind it.

[Isaac Wolfram]

Alright, Here are some screen shots.

Depth Pass in FL

Depth Pass working, But it is backwards.

So I tried Using the “Invert” setting in Depth Buffer. The result is not correctly inverted.

Sorry for the lazy original post, I knew this is what I would have to end up doing. Am I doing anything obviously wrong. I can also post the screen shots from C4D if needed.

Thanks.

[Isaac Wolfram]

I”m going to take some screen shots, please stay posted. I watched your video. I get the same looking depth pass. What version were you using then?

Who doesn’t fall, cannot rise.

[Isaac Wolfram]

it was originally an 8 bit TARGA sequence, i increased it to 16 bit TIF sequence.

Are there any controls for the depth pass within render settings other than turning it on?
