Hi Brian

Thanks for replying i think the problem was tryin to add the rigid mesh tag to an edited Motext word which had been split and connected.

(the idea was to fill the word with dynamic objetcs through emmitters)

PART FIX: I added the rig tag to the splited motext not with the conneted, and checked staic mesh with children.
alot less particals came out but three quaters through the animation they start to spill out again.
the steps increments are really high and the playback is very slow even when i’ve bake the dynamics.

SO; i’ve simplied this this and gone for a simple cilinder to fill, which works fine But the render time are hideious 18-20min per frame

with “NO” GI,soft shadow lights, ray depth and pass 6% 2% 6% AA on 1×1 2×2, Ambitent Ouc low, low refelection on material and nearlly anthing elese i can switch off without totally comproming the overall out.

Out of one problem staight in to the next !!!

Hi Walter

Thanks for your help… the exchange files seem to work, i copied the plugin into the plugin file on Ae cs4.when i save out of C4d an aec file is made, however it still has a w-space file tag not a Ae tag,i’m not sure if this makes any diffrence.
The w-space opens in Adobe bridge,but when i improt the file into Ae it opens with all the relevant camera and seperate light info.
anyway so far so good !!!!

thanks for your help !!

I’m not sure if my intial setup of C4D run the After effects exchange plungin thanks….for the link, I’l run it and report back any feed back.

I’ve watched several tutorials on exporting from C4d and enabling the the right render setting. C4D was happy to render off a
quick time movie of my project and several multipass alpha channels but would only save a (w-space) file for the after effects project save.
I’ll give this a go and see how far i get.

keep a look out for my post i’m sure i’ll be asking plenty of questions.

Thanks Again.

Thanks Dave

The loss of media is a bit of a mystery…. so i think i have to keep an eye on this and see if it happens again.
The real worry is if i come back to a project and the whole thing is offline, I’m not sure what the process would be for reconnecting media that has Vanished of the drive!!

Thanks for the heads up on the USB drop frame issue I’ll make sure i purchace a external firewire Drvie as soon as i can. until then i gona have to store it on the system drive.

keep an eye out on my post, i’m just getting to grips with FCP and mac’s after using Quantel and Avid for the last 4 years…..it’s a steep learning curve and i’m sure i gona have alot of question.

Thanks again

Hi

I was going to get a dedicated USB hard drive in the near future, but i thought running some Video and Audio of a harbdrive with 1TB of storage would be fine,….if not….why ?

i’ve checked the Trash and it not there either !!!

hi David

Theres no external drive’s connected to my imac. it was saved as a converted VOB file to Quicktime movie using Apple DV codec, and saved directly onto the main Hard drive in a selected folder !

is there anyway of getting the media Back ?!!

Thanks Zane !!

I done a bit of reasearch all saying the same thing as you, so I’m going to convert them from VOB into Quick time.mov using a Apple Dv codec. i hope this will cure the problem.

I tried to convert VOB straight to DV using mpeg streamclip but FCP has to render on the timeline to hear the Audio. Any ideas why ?

Watch my post, i’m sure I’ll have loads of Silly questions to ask over the next couple of months

Thanks again !!
