Now i need to read the reel scale of a parented layer.
I don’t understand yet the difference between World and Comp but i remember Dan your expression:

L = comp(“target”).layer(“target”);
P = L.toComp(L.L.anchorPoint);

so i’ve tried with no luck

L = comp(“3×1”).layer(“LIGNES”);
P = L.toComp(L.transform.scale);

Can ask you one more time ?

All right Dave, I’ve chosen the twin layers option !
I save up to 70% time…
I sleep well and render goes on faster !

It can be a really good idea for the next release for adobe to let key frame such deactivation.

thanks

To mimic a reel 3D, you have to use “Invigorator LE”.
This free plugin (on AE’CD) can manage the *.obj files from Maya or extrude a path (form Illustrator for example).

you’re right ! much easier.
Have you another interesting point of view for multiple mask translation ?

sebastien

oh!

i’ve just found part of my answer:
for one shape at time, make any shape with a key frame on the trace. Set a key on the mask you want to transfer, copy this key and paste it on the trace’s key.

It work for a simple mask.. nice
now I want to translate my strange form with its 15 masks intersected…

Any faster way ?

have you got some 2D layers in between this 3D layer.. ?
A 2D layer in between separates the 3D layers like 2 precomposition (without condensed option on)

this is a common issue wanted by AE

Unfortunately, each hair are fixed across a lot of take…
In fact, do you think that Mokey can remove such hair over long shot ?
and do you think it’s realist in term of working time / rendering time ?
(mokey tracker seems to be very long to perform such good job)
