Hey Kevin,

I just found your expression and I’m wondering if/how I could get it to work with VC Reflect? I’m trying to get my refection to stay on the floor as my object moves up in space. Is there any way to apply this same expression to the VC Reflect floor position? It didn’t work when I tried it but I’m wondering if it’s a simple tweak to the expression (not supper great with code over here:).

Thanks so much!

Sara

target = thisComp.layer('3d object'); // this should be your layer to track

x = target.position[0];

y = value[1];

z = target.position[2];

[x,y,z]

Hey guys,

Thanks for the advice! Turns out we also needed to go to Display and turn on Transparency. For some reason that did the trick.

Thanks again!!

Awesome!!! Thank you so much! I never think to create mattes. That’s such great advice!!

Thanks Ted,

I think I’ll have to reread this a few times to fully understand but I think I get it:) Is there an easy way to make that kind of a mask or would I just have to draw around every hexagon?

Thanks Guys!!!

That’s a big help. Kevin, Do you know a good compression app? Also, I tried using the Device Central but I’m still on CS3 and AE is not an option. Do you know another program that might do the same thing?

Awesome. I didn’t even think of Mosaic but it worked perfect!!! Thanks Bartek!!

Thanks Viacheslav,

I actually ended up going with a combination of your suggestion and Simon’s because I wanted some of the areas to reveal at the same time and others to reveal at different times. I just made a few different layers of my image and used one stroke effect on each layer and set it to “All Masks”. This way I could control the timing by staggering the keyframes on separate layers.

I still haven’t figured out why you can’t use more than one stroke effect set to “Reveal Original” on the same layer but separating the image into multiple layers didn’t prove to be too tough of a task.

Thanks guys!!

Hey Simon,

Thanks for the quick response. I did try using just one Stroke Effect with the “All Masks” clicked but my problem with that is that It seemed like there was no way to control the timing. I’d like for some masks to be revealed at the same time and the others to be a bit more random. It seemed like the “All Masks” goes one at a time based on the order of the masks. Is there a way to correct this?

Thanks again!
