It will, if you consider a few things. There’s an entire tutorial/ article on this here at the COW, so consult the tutorials section.

Not sure, but IFF should work also. Do you see the depth channel in other apps (fcheck for instance)?

A combination of various techniques:

Use a very crude Sweep NURBS, then, once the shape is halfway clear convert to a HyperNURBS object and refine using edge loop/ poly loop selections. There’s no ultimate advise on this, as obviously it’s a pretty complex process to not create unwanted overlap and intersections. TRhe nice thing when working with HyperNURBS is that you can hide parts of the model with selection tags. This makes things a lot easier.

Use the Echo effect.

Depends on how realistic it needs be, but simple particles, partly combined with the metaball object should do. You only need different emitters for varying the drop sizes.

Just use the

d = toWorld(anchorPoint) – thisComp.layer(“scaling Null”).toWorld([0,0]);
distance=length(d);
linear(distance, 0, MaxDist, [maxScale, maxScale], [BaseSize, BaseSize]);

to determine a offset factor. modify it to fit in the other stuff and you’re good to go:

MaxDist=200;

d = toWorld(anchorPoint) – thisComp.layer(“scaling Null”).toWorld([0,0]);
distance=length(d);
pos_offset=linear(distance, 0, MaxDist, 0, 100]);

//decide whether the current icon is before or after the largest icon and move in the right direction

if (scale[0] < thisComp.layer(index+1).scale[0]) {pos_direction = -1} else {pos_direction = 1}; pos_new=position[0]+pos_offset*pos_direction; [pos_new,position[1]]

No. You need to create a cycle for this.

Check your graphics card drivers and settings. If C4D says it’s not there, it only means that the driver does not provide the functions C4D requests. Installing a new driver or changing the config would possibly fix that.

Accumulate a few frames with Echo to create some trail, the displace it slightly with Turbulent Displace. Do this in a pre-comp. Use it in your main comp and warp/ morph it along with your otehr footage. For fading in the second actor, build a gradient wipe/ matte based on some Factal Noise perhaps.

Apply a simple expression to the orientation property of each layer (Alt+click the stopwatch):

lookAt(position,thisComp.layer(“Camera”).position)
