After Effects :: How To Animate Tank Treads In 2D Picture
Feb 3, 2014
I have a .psd picture of a tank and try to animate it in AE by rotating its wheels and tread (or track?). The only solution i have come up with is to slightly change tread layer's x and y positions in every frame, making it to vibrate. However it does not create rotation illusion which i'm after - the tread vibrates, but doeas not revolves around the wheels. If there are other solutions to make tread layer rotate around tank's wheels, i would be glad to hear about them. All 7 tank's wheels are separate layers and the tread layer is above them. The rest of the tank's layer is above tread layer

It seems to be set at 17 but I can't find a way to change it.
Autocad help is not useful at all as it says change the field to a user defined one, whilst not actually telling you how to do that.

I am creating a set of parametric stairs. All of my constraints are in place for my 2 main work points. I am now trying to make an associative path array to depict the stair treads. Path array works great initially, however when I change my variables for stair height, my stair treads tilt with my work line in such a way that they're no longer parallel to the floor.
The angle of the stairs must be variable as it will change from one set of stairs to another. All that said, I am wondering if there is some variable or command that will make the treads retain their ucs orientation regardless of the angle of my path line. I've tried every option while creating the array with no luck.

I've created a grid of around 80 individual text layers (each layer is a single letter) and first, I want to animate their opacity as a group, then INDIVIDUALLY animate their opacity (again) and color. How do I do this?
Also, while I'm asking, I have two simpler questions:
- is there a way to animate the color of multiple layers at once so I don't have to click on each individual layer and do it manually?
- how do I achieve a "swipe" opacity effect? If this is not clear I can explain but I won't bother for now.

if it is possible to import PDF content and animate each element of it. For ex., animate the titles, some text, some images? Then, export into a swf. file? I am not sure if AfterEffect is the best way to do it? Flash, Illustrator, maybe?

I have a logo in a png file that I would like to bring into AE and animate. I did not create the logo so I have no idea how to bring in layers from Illustrator or Photo Shop. I am not familiar with either program but I have watched a former colleague separate the layers (aplha channels, etc..) it's all Greek to me. The logo has a couple words on it plus an exclamation point that I would like to animate if possible...

How did he edit frame by frame so the liquified part matches his fingers and looks like he grabbed it? how did he make it so that when he let go the liquified bit stretched backwards into place or how did he make the green matrix effect in the pic so the liquified looks black when stretched?

I have worked on After Effects and recently started doing my Motion Graphics work in MAYA. I made some models using the Polygonal Mesh primitive objects for logos etc etc.
I was wondering if I can animate the growth of an object as though it is being formed formed in 3D space. I tried doing this by taking it in AE but it becomes a Flat image and I loose the z dimension, thus I can only move the mask in X & Y axis.
If there are any tools to animate or any Keywords that I can explore to make this job feasible. I do not want to pull down the transparency and animate it as then it makes the entire object disappear or visible at the same time.

Just checking -- there's no way to directly animate the thickness of text stroke, is there?
EDIT: Ah -- by using a stroke Animator, it can be changed over time.

He wants me to take an image (Its just a square image) and have it start in the center of the screen, and as it scales down and moves to one of the bottom corners (I've already got that part done) the image multiplies and creates a seamless circular/oval band in 3D space. He also wants this done with another image, but for this other image (also simply a square) to create a sphere as it multiplies.
Is there an easier way to do this, or am I going to have to place, manipulate and animate each individual copy of the square image to create a solid band?

I created a photo at the bigging of the timeline to be scaled at 0,0. As it goes down I want it to 100%, and when it reaches the bottom of my stage area I to just have the photo just disapear.
When I tried this with scale x,y it slowing shrinks as it goes down. I don't want it to slowly shrink as it goes down. I just want it to just disapear when it reaches the botton.

I have modeled a tank(storage) and i need to show some of the piping that is inside the tank. I tried removing some faces and extruding the edges, then some beveling, to show some thickness but that really messes up the smoothing around the hole. Is there a better way to do this to maintain the smoothness?

I have been trying to draw a precast concrete tank and have run into a problem. The tank walls are not constant thickness. At the bottom they are 3.5" thick and taper to 3" thick at the top. Also, the top dimensions of the tank are longer and wider than the bottom dimensions of the tank. My solution has been to draw the outside bottom as a rectangle and offset the rectangle by 3.5". Then repeat this for the top dimensions, set the top two rectangles at the correct elevation and loft them. Then, I press-pull the center out of the tank. This results in a quasi-correct representation of the outside tank but the wall thickness does not taper correctly and the walls are hollow.

I have been able to draw the precast concrete tanks I needed. I drew several models and saved them as WBLOCKS to insert in new drawings. The problem is that I don't seem to be able to select a particular face of the tank upon which I want to align the UCS. What am I missing with regard to blocks and UCS alignment?

Is there a way to use the Split Solid tool to partially split a circle and have multiple solids after.
Ex) I would like to cut the tank at the 180 and 270 deg marks. Using the split tool still cuts through 0 and 90. I tried drawing a line from a top view that started from center going through 180, but it still goes through 0 as well.
I've attached an example shell of where I would like to have 6 solids after.

I used a combination of effects on a picture and got a great result. I saved the picture. The next day I wanted to put the same effects on a new picture, but I could not remember the effects I used on the first pic. I clicked on many effects in the palette and just couldn't find the same ones as the first pic. I want to use them again.

I have a picture that was edited by someone else, what I need to know is, how do I remove the effects he put on the picture?
Apparently he wrote (using an editor) something on the background, then using an editor, covered it up with and effect. I need to see what he wrote before covering it up.
I really would like to know how to editor picture in general for I find this really really cool!

So, I'm currently making a 3 minute news film at school, and am trying to add a picture into a video, so at the beginning of the news, I want to add a picture either right up or left up corner of the video something like this...
[URL].....
so,,, how do i insert a picture like that into a video?
and, additionally, is there a way to make it look like when transitioning the screen, the picture would magnify and fill up the screen.and the film begins
so in the example, the bread/snack picture would enlarge, fillup the screen and another video would resume.

I had a chance to use the old StormNet software extensively in my previous company. This is my first time that I'm using it under AutoDesk. It appears to work similarly. So now I'm trying to model a small but a bit of a complex system.
I have a modeling scenario where I have a storage tank with two orifices. The first orifice outlets to a 10 inch diameter pipe which eventually outfalls into a stormwater treatment area. This area will allow ponding. Due to site topography a portion of this pipe run will be pressurized with the outlet set just low enough below the 1st orifice elevation at the tank. The second orifice outlets to a 12 inch diameter pipe which connects to the underground storm drain system via gravity. This second pipe run will only take on water that exceeds the capacity of the first. With this scenario I have a few questions:
1. In trying to model the bolted rims to make the portion of the system to work as a pressurized system, my understanding is that I have to set the surcharge elevation (at the junction) high enough above the max rim elevation. I have set up the surcharge elevation high enough, trying different elevations and the max water elevation in all cases is exceeding the max rim elevation.
2. My storage tank is a close tank. Is there a way to ensure that is modeled as such or does the program assume is a storage node such as a detention pond?
