Randy, Brian,
thanks for your help with this one I really appreciate the work that both of you have put in.

It looks great, but what I am after is that the block in the middle stays still and the blocks to the side move like a double sided concertina.

Thanks again and any help would be great.

Martyn.

Hay Randy I really appreciate your help, I really like what you have done there.
I dip in and out of Cinema so it can seem a bit daunting to me.
What I’m trying to archive is the end blocks stay the same size and the larger center blocks expand and shrink when the end blocks move from side to side.
I’m going to try your suggestions of a gradient to see how it looks.

Thanks again, I appreciate it.

Martyn.

Wow that was quick!
Thanks Randy, but I was thinking the end panels moving and the centers expanding and shrinking with them.

Thanks again for the speedy response.

Hi Adam & Brian,
thanks for your replies.

I have the images sorted now I had the textures projection as UVW Mapping, I changed that to “flat” then scaled so there are no more artifacts.

Thanks again,

Martyn.

Hay Brian thanks for the reply, I’ve sorted it out after following your advice.

I’m finding this quite hard to get the hang of as its unlike any other software that Ive used in the past.

Thanks again and I’m sure I will be back soon.

Hi Brian,
I’ve done that it puts the objects into a null object and leaves the knife tool grayed out.

Man I’m stuck.

Hi Jeff,
thanks for the reply.

I installed the scripted it’s great for getting all frames as single files quicker than rendering them via “Composition –> Save Frame As –> Photoshop Layers”.

Whilst pulling my hair out wondering how to make them in to one photoshop document, I found that PS CS3 has a script that that stacks single files into one PS doc. Yippy!!!

And you can download a CS 2 version here

Thanks again Jeff.
