Hi, is this possible? I have multiple filmclips in my animation and want to mix/edit audio in another application.

Are you working with compound shapes in Illustrator? After Effects would interpret e.g. an “O” as 2 shapes: the outer ring including it’s fill, and the ring shape of the center “hole”.

Thank you, that’s so cool! How do you use it, is it applied to selected keyframes on a layer?

Hi guys!

I’m looking for a way to distort a very long (strip shaped) precomp into a circular frame (see example below). I want the right edge of the strip to perfectly align with the left edge. I’m going to create hundreds of those so I need a work flow that is exact and doesn’t involve trial & error. I’ve tried “CC Bendit” and “Polar…

I will check it out.

One question: does it have the “3d component” found in Avatarify (so that the face in the resulting video can wiggle it’s head slightly to the left and right) or is it frontal 2d only?

I’ve been playing around with the Avatarify Iphone app with some very interesting results. For those of you not familiar with it, it helps you apply motion (such as lip sync and head movements) from a video source and apply it to a still image of another face.

The app is more or less a toy but the underlying technology is amazing. As far as I…

I failed to mention that I want to make a copy of an existing russian doll. So I can’t ”draw” it or eyeball it inside of C4D. I have to create the texture from photographs. Don’t know how this is done? The doll is of course 3-dimensional itself so the challenge is to go from 3d to 2d and back to 3d again in an accurate way.

Interesting, I’ll check it out!

Thanks-

Wilhelm

Great suggestion, I’ll try that!

Hi, haven’t tried yet. Where should I start? A back and a front image of the doll, with some extra Yellow to fill in the spaces?

Hi, I’m new to C4D. I’m making an animation involving Russian dolls, but I’m not sure how to create the texture or how to project it. As you can see, the dolls are more or less cylindrical, but they are “curvy”.

Hello guys and gals! i recently started exploring C4D and have a workflow question. I’m working on an animation involving Russian dolls I’m going to create these in C4D and use them as layers in an AE composition. I want to have some 2D lipsync animation projected onto the dolls. Can I somehow achieve this with precompositions in AE, or do I need…

Great, thank you!

Hi all. I’m making an animation with some dolls sitting around a campfire on a dark beach. The fire is sctual footage of a camp fire. Now, I would like to see the flickering of the fire reflect in the faces of the dolls. I think that AE could analyse the brightness of a portion of the fire layer and connect this to the intensity of a point l…
