thanks – does particle world use some kind of wierd comp size coordinate units?

dang, that link didnt work, lets try this one

”
w = wiggle(freq, amp) – value;

[x, y] + [w[0],0] ”

i’m not clear about the “- value” part

[Jonas Espinoza]

ah
makes perfect sense, learning the way to speak this script is the key

thanks so much

you are such a HUGELY generous contributer to this community

ok its not displacement map, but its obviously using some sort of key to drive motion. has anyone ever used the technique i talked about in my first post. thanks again dave!

[Jonas Espinoza]

exactly

has anyone seen anything that does this wort of effect

[Jonas Espinoza]

exactly… as a pure renderer, pretty fast – as the response we would expect from this kind of horse power, not there. render speeds are important no doubt, but i just want fast interaction.

i feel like the ui is zippier with MP turned off.

[Jonas Espinoza]

so is there a ‘final word’ on cache-setup

i totally notice the surging.

is nucleo way faster? i recommended to Rob-art from barefeats to compare AE with and without nucleo 2… would be interesting… this machine is still fast, but unreliable and unhappy previews are killing me

[Jonas Espinoza]

already testing with it. im not quite as fast as the 16gb ram machione they used at barefeats, but not far off. disabling multi-proc is over 2x slower.

ram previews are still wierd on this thing, i want this thing be as good interactively /ui response-wise as it is a straight renderer. just put the extra ram in, so hopefully it will crank.

the activity monitor still shows half the CPU not working on MP enables renders…

does this weather suck or what
i used to ride my bike down dexter everyday for 3 years, now i work by victory studios, have to drive

if i have a light nested in a moving object to represent the face plane of that object for AE compositing, and the host object spins, i am only getting the light to import the position moves, not the rotation of it, as it is nested in a spinning object. if i am to dial this in, should i look at doing this spinning motion with a camera instead?

the way i have it now i have to manually play with the rotation settings on my AE layer that is supposed to be on the face of one side of the cube
