[Mylenium] “though the RAM preview bug isn’t among them.”

What’s that?”

There’s a bug that will not allow you to do previews even if you purge all RAM. It’s sporadic and seems to be related to specific situations (plugins used, comp sizes and that sort of thing), but it’s there.

Have anybody tryed the upgrade – 6.5.1 for After Effects?
Is it safe to upgrade?”

It’s not just safe, it’s essential. It really fixes several bugs of the original 6.5 release, though the RAM preview bug isn’t among them.

Step-by-step hand matching would be easiest for a simple project. If you need this functionality more often, you should look into how to use Maya Live (assuming you have Maya Unlimited) or find someone who could write you some scripts to transfer baked keyframes – a JSX in AE that exports them and a MEL script in Maya that reads them.

Nope, you’re simply expecting miracles and mathematically impossible things (well, there are ways, but normally you cannot add real depth to pixel based data) You best bet is Revison FX’ Shape/ Shade, which does some nice beveling/ chisel effects, but that’s all.

Look at my personal website, there’s a preset that conatins a technique that might be what you need.

It works. if your layer settings are correct. It needs to be a 3D layer and just have a proper alpha. No idea why it shouldn’t work for you.

Text layers with paths attached to them. should be simpole, though a bit tedious. Good luck.

Did you tell Particular to use your other layers as “Obscuration Layers”?

It’s screwed. Try this:

dateValue=thisComp.layer(“Numbers”).effect(“Numbers”)(4); // change the layer name
startValue=1; // the Slider value at which you want the day counter to be 1
days=180; // number of days you want to count

dayCounter=linear(dateValue, startValue-1, startValue+days-1,0, days)
