The matte would draw on as open shapes. I’m really looking for the rounded streets to interest and merge. Basically closed lead edge for roads as they draw on. If find edges had more control than I would just remove the offset, grow out round end strokes and then find edges although rounding of resulting city blocks wouldn’t work.

Might just have…

I am looking to do a radial grow on of a grid of roads by merging the centre lines, then using intersection to drive a radial reveal, then offset and round to get leading edge of lines and ultimately curb shapes to round. I have encountered two issues. First is testing with trim of just merged centre lines, some roads are rounding some are square…

Did you guys get this working? I have been trying to build out a lower-third with two different font styles. I’m combining the source text to drive the underlying shape but I can’t get the style aspect to work.

L1 = thisComp.layer(“Main Title”).text.sourceText;

L1.getStyleAt(0,0).setText(L1);

L2 = thisComp.layer(“Secondary…

I think you and I are working through similar issues. I’m setting up a Lower Thirds with two lines of source from other layers so the Mogrt will have clearly labelled inputs. I’ve hit a snag trying to define the styles though. For some reason I’m getting an error trying to define text.sourceText.style of any kind.

Currently driving the two lines…

I’ll give it a try. Makes it seem like fields input so you can drive the map with a spline that way the rigid body balls can follow the same spline.

I feel better that it seems to be stumping everyone else as well. Current solution is to animate the channels in studio max but it would be nice to keep everything in C4D.

You can add a compositing tag and remove that light from affecting reflections.

Ha ha ha… just reread my post. It was not Red Giant but Giant Ant Studio. Both do great work! 🙂

Hey Guys,

This seems super simple but has thrown me for a loop. Red Giant did a fantastic video for Slack. I think I figured out all of the rigid body and attractor stuff to animate the balls  however… what appears to be an animated boulean of sweep or capsule shape with a bevel deformer totally bugs out. I know bouls are to be avoided in C4D…

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know how a project like this is cut up?

It looks like a vornoi fracture of the whole scene but I can’t seem to get multiple objects to join as blocks like this. I have been trying putting multiple objects under a boolean, fracture or connect object. Any thoughts? So far it seems they recommend using…
