Hi Stevem1928,

Tracing a logo using the pentool etc… is often more efficient then using the live trace features as you may end up having a bunch of unnecessary paths. Generally, your artwork must consist of simple closed shapes. Send me your file and I will trouble shoot it in the morning (It’s 3:00 am in NY, so I gotta go sleep now)

No! It’s mostly done using a 3D program.

If you have Invigorator already the following threads may be usefull too:

Thanks Jon!

I will be giving a class on advanced AE & Invigorator animation next week. I would love to introduce 3D Warp also and your project would be a perfect example to dissect. I checked by CBS and they even have the Artbeats footage you used, what makes it perfect.

Love your work man!

Thanks again.

Salut.

Import Project A into project B.

Hi,

You must check the “Use illustrator Colors” Box in the import window. It’s right under “Open as layer cycle object”

Your fill colors will be applied to the faces and your stroke colors to the edges of your objects.

Gradients and such won’t work, you know that right?

Hi,

I don’t know about a tut but here are some custom edges that you could download from here:
https://zaxwerks.com/goodies/custom_edges.shtml

I also have a champagne flute created for you here:
https://www.nyc-visual.com/Edge_Examples.sit

You need to replace the file with the one located in your Edge Examples subfolder then apply the edge named “Champagne_Flute”.

If you want the glass to be full like in the following example: https://www.nyc-visual.com/Flute.mov do the following:
Apply the edge named “Liquid” to a second tinny circle in order to map it with a champagne color looking map then reduce this second object depth by one point.

Duplicating this second object, reducing its depth by one point and applying a bubbles map to it would help too.

Salut.

Jon,

Excellent as usual. Cool moves also! Now I feel ashamed to show my examples:-)

Hey,

Maybe the project got corrupted.

I used AE 7.0.1 and Invigorator Pro 4.0.8.
Here is a new project with AE 6.5: https://www.nyc-visual.com/Graphic_Bar.sit

let me know how it works.

Hey,

No, it’s not so obvious. What you are asking for would be a great feature.

Untill then what you could do would be to use a transparency map to eliminate the part of your bar that doesn’t need to show up.

Here is a quicly done project for you:
