Thanks for looking at this. I found the issue. When i brought in the paths they were placed in a null object. Apparently you can’t place a group of paths into an extrude. Once I connected the paths into one path, all was well.

Thanks again,
Les

Got it! I just did another search to find “vaiting zee eches” or “weighting the edges”. select the edge hold, down the ‘.’ (period) key, and drag the mouse. I’m still not sure what she’s saying, but it’s all good now. Great DVDs by the way, for anyone learning C4d.

Excellent! I have 4d R10 and AE7. Any clue where I could get said plugin? I looked on there site, but it didn’t jump out at me. Their plugin section doesn’t seem to have it.

Thanks randyj!

Option 1:
This is fairly simple if you have Flash CS3. You’d have to manipulate or remove the some action script, and make a timeline that plays the actual animation you want to see in AE. You can then export a .mov with transparency you can then use in after effects – alpha channel and all.

If you can’t pull out the actionscript. You could start from scratch and make a carousel using Lee Brimelow’s “Creating 3d Carousels” tuts on gotoAndLearn.com

Option 2:
Make a circular mask in the top view in AE. Copy the path and paste as a motion path for all of your pictures to rotate along.

You could draw the lines in Photoshop, then just reveal using masks. This way you have complete control over the look of the lines themselves.

You got it man! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

I still wish there was an easier way 😉

I think I know what you mean, if so I’ve been searching for a good explanation on how it works as well.

This is the best example of what I’ve come to call “organic graffiti” I can find. The best suggestion I’ve come across is “gradient wipe”. It definitely creates some interesting effects but I still don’t understand how these crazy designs and vine graphics are painted on the screen.

My best attempt: https://youtube.com/watch?v=iUuwBgF6V_k

I should start an organic graffiti thread, just in case we’re not talking about the same thing.
