These look great Chris! Sorry for the delayed response, just returned from NAB. BTW, 9.6 and Mograph look great in person. Time to wait and squirm.
Thanks again, your Kharma account has been credited. -
I would do it in c4d. Use a sphere with a transparent material with an animating noise in the transparency properties. Also use the alpha channel for the wipe-on.
maybe affect the lumince channel using a turbulent gradient… There are so many ways to create moving textures in c4d… very helpful stuff.
what version of c4d are you running? -
If I understand the question, perhaps look up “add render module” which will allow you to render ar different output settings at the same time.
-
Are you rendering to fields? Usually text looks pretty bad in the timeline from field redered animations. Can you preview your render on a broadcast monitor?
If you want to compare, do a frame render, and a field render, look at each and notice that the frame render is pretty sharp. Of course the motion won’t be as smooth…. -
I replied to this post topic at c4d cafe about 2 weeks ago. I had just finished a similar thing using sweep nurbs and basic particles.
The emitter used the same spline as the sweep nurb, and emitted leaves that grew over time. Kinda fun. to view a sample go to https://www.birdhausdesign.com/public/

Sapphire plug-ins has one. https://www.genarts.com/sapphire-ae.html Look in box 2….There is also the possibilty that you could use photoshop to do this. Render a picture sequence and set up an action that creates the halftone. The action process would go something like this,… mode change from RGB to greyscale, then mode to bitmap, halftone(select dot and frequency of choice) then mode back to greyscale and lastly about .5% Gaussian blur to reintroduce some kind of antialiasing. Apply action to folder, reassemble as vid in AE.

that was cool, we came up with the same solutions at the same time

There are many ways to accomplish this. The easiest is to apply this effect after the key(s)layer: effect/channel/invert/ select alpha from channel dropdown.
Or… you could create a track matte that selects inverse alpha….. copy an “unkeyed” layer of the source footage, place below keyed layer,
selcet trackmatte, alpha inverted. -
Maybe try using the shatter plug-in, backwards. Gravity direction 0 degrees, really small pattern, ie carpenters wheel.
mess around with it, you may get the results want. get my drift? :O) -
I elaborated on Steves’s post, go to https://www.birdhausdesign.com/public/ and download stars.zip
Its an AE project that uses fractal noise as a matte to vary the opacity of the starglow effect. HTH
