Did you do what I already suggested?

Did you give a fill color to your object in IL or at least a stroke?

Without seeing your file I can’t really say what you did wrong.

Make sure that the “use Compression” box is not checked when saving your file.

let us know if this doesn’t help. You could then send me your file here: serge_01 (at) (msn) (dot) (com)

Hi,

Did you reset the camera? If you still are having the object goind in the opposite direction a minus sign (-) at the start of the expression would eliminate the problem.

But I would advise you anyway to stick to the track layer feature.

Hi,

If you have the Pro version of Invigorator you could use the Track 3D layer feature.

If you are using the classic version or an old pro version all you need to do is to create a 3D null layer and pickwhip each rotation and position parameter of your set to the null’s. To reset your object, make sure you are in camera mode then click on “Front” in the view menu.

Does this help?

When you save your artwork using Illustrator CS2. Make sure that the “Use Compression” box is unchecked.

Thanks John, Ken,

Glad you find the tut useful. I think the DVD should be available the next two weeks as it only needs to be printed by the Cow.

Hi Kathy

In case one of your objects was shaped using a transparency map.
The Invigorator shadow casting formula does not recognize transparency yet, so shadows produced by such an object would look strange, as they would reflect the original geometry.

If this is not the issue, feel free to send me your project (without the media files)

Hi,

Tracing the contours of your paint brushed stroke could help.
The inward part of your brush could then be used as a texture map.

Could you post a visual?
