Hi guys,

I’m almost happy with the render here, the lighting on the contact lens is good.

The reflection needs work. The reflection needs to be a solid white instead of this dark gradient bottom left.

The thing is, when I try to address the gradient in the reflection the lighting in the contact lens changes too much and looks different to what I n…

No worries! Thanks for your help.

I’ve taken your advice on using different values and created this which works well:

seedRandom(index,true);

posterizeTime(Math.round(random(4,6)));

Thanks Trent!

Thats really helpful. I’ll use expressions instead, I didn’t know you could add posteriseTime to timeremap.

Ideally I’d want all layers to be 5 fps, is there a way of offsetting each layer by a different value so that the layers will be changing frame on different frames? I appreciate your suggest would do this but I’m wondering if…

Delay / Offset Posterize Time Effect

I’m looking to delay / offset the start frame of the Posterize Time effect. (not expression)

5 fps Posterize Time effect. 25 fps comp.

The reason for this is I want the stop motion animation to have more of a flow instead of all layers changing frame on 0,5,10,15,20.25 etc…

It’d be great if:

Layer A changed frame on 0,5,10,15,20,25 etc…

Layer B…

Layer Styles : Proportionally scale values using percentage

Hi there,

I’m trying to figure out how to change the value of layer styles parameters using a percentage (drop shadow distance, spread and size) (pattern overlay scale).

For instance, I’d want to change the drop shadow distance from 6 to 3. 100% to 50%.

Ideally I’d want to be able to use a global control layer to make these percentage adjus…
