Hi Matthew.

We’re working on an update to allow for multiple cameras in a Comp. We plan on releasing an official update soon.

I can send you a pre-release version that fixes this problem. Send me an email: matt@zaxwerks.com

Thanks.

Hi Nick.

Can you post a screen shot or send me an image?

The reflection map just may not be high enough resolution. Not sure.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Adeeb.

In After Effects, you can export a single frame in Photoshop format.
There are a few ways to do this, but I usually make my Comp have the length of a single frame and use the Render Queue options in order to export as a Photoshop Sequence.

Let us know if you have more questions.

Hi RoRK.

Tracking layers requires a little work from the user. Due to limitations to how After Effects plug-ins work – we here at Zaxwerks strive to push AE to its limits 🙂 – you have to do some manual scene updating before rendering.

But the results can be fantastic, so hopefully it’s worth it.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Hi Roland.

I’m sure our expert users have a better answer, but I would imagine that most artists add a 3D Camera in AE and use the “Use Comp Camera” feature of the Invigorator to keep everything in the same 3D space.

Let us know if you have more questions.

Hi Wally.

At this time, that feature isn’t part of Invigorator.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

October 21, 2008 at 4:21 pm in reply to: motion blur on Invig object looks poor

Hi Dax.

We use a fixed 8-step motion blur for Invigorator.
ProAnimator has more flexibility, allowing the user set the number of blur steps.

We’ll consider adding this as a feature to the next version of the software.

Let us know if you have more questions.

October 21, 2008 at 4:02 pm in reply to: PAFX- “Interactivity” between Motion Objects

Hi Brandt.

There is no direct interaction between PA layers and Motion layers — but they can be made to look like they’re in the same 3D space.

You’re correct in that the PA effect lives in a 2D layer, so a Zaxwerks object can’t rotate around a Motion object. A workaround would require two identical layers – one behind the Motion objects and one in front. Then some fancy matting would be required to mask things out properly.

Let us know if you have more questions.
