I’ve got it up to a point. Any tips on using PFreeze to stop new TP from being created?

I’m trying to follow this Xpresso setup https://www.kxcad.net/CINEMA_4D/help/US/html/OP_FREEZE-ID_GVPORTS.html

Here’s my variation, which seems to freeze the TPs’ position but not their birth and deaths:

(sorry about the spidery xpresso …)

Gotcha. Yeah, I’m working around the problem by keyframing the material’s side property. The sweep nurb is nice to have b/c I can change the curl of the page. Thanks for checking it out!

sounds like that’s the ticket! thanks Brian!

Thanks Brian. I probably will do that… though I was hoping Sketch and Toom would “cell shade” the reflections.

May 4, 2011 at 6:13 pm in reply to: Cinema to Illustrator to Flash workflow… ALMOST!!

Just in case anyone is curious, the workflow I ended up using was almost exactly what I described above, except instead of exporting from C4D to Illustrator layers, I exported to Illustrator files. Then imported the sequence of illustrator files into Flash. Flash recognizes that it is a sequence, but for some reason it opened a separate import dialog for each file in the sequence. Got a bit tedious mashing return 200 times! But finally I got the vectors into flash.

I didn’t have to do anything fancy to get the dynamics to animate after all, just used the mograph cache tag. I think my settings were off which is why I was confused on that for a minute.

One thing that seems kind of wonky with the Illustrator export is the z stacking. There’s 3 options in the export dialog and I couldn’t really get a good result. Objects would pop in and out of z position…

Jason, the Flash file is going to be used in some laser projection software. I guess the vector coordinates are important for directing the laser

Thanks Adam. Yeah I was playing with that. I was just using the mograph cache tag. Even though it seems to break the animation, weirdly. Still the animation won’t export to illustrator. Is there something more to baking modynamics perhaps? I found this post about using xpresso to do ithttps://forums.cgsociety.org/showpost.php?p=6107418&postcount=8

Problem may be twofold… Complexity of the c4d scene definitely contributes to Flash crashing. However, I’m noticing another issue. The dynamics animation doesn’t seem to be exported to Illustrator period

So I answered my own question. Not sure why, but changing the Flash Player in Flash’s publish settings from Flash Player 10 to Flash Player 9 did the trick. Weird, because I was using the exact same workflow yesterday with another animation and Flash Player 10 worked fine…
