View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoDesk Smoke :: How To Work In Connect Fx Mode
Sep 6, 2012i am trying to understand how to work in the connect fx mode, but one thing that seems to be completely eluding me is why the output going to my broadcast monitor (via Kona3) is showing only the output from the left window when in CFX (currently Connect FX schematic), and not the final video.
My mac screen has a 2 up view showing the CFX Schematic on the left and the CFX Result on the right.
Is there any way that i can use the two windows on the mac screen without affecting what is feeding the broadcast monitor? I really want a system that always shows me the final output on the broadcast monitor, with everything else happening on the mac screen.
AutoDesk Smoke :: 3840 X 1080 View Mode
Dec 16, 2013When you're in source-sequence mode and push "f15" key (that is "player view mode" shortcut) several times, you can switch between different view modes. One in particular kept my attention: you can output a video frame with 3840x1080 resolution (double full hd), composed by primary output (on the left) and secondary output (on the right).
The strange thing is that these two video streams (primary and secondary) are not in sync: in fact secondary one is always delayed by one frame.
What is the purpose of this view mode? Is it possible to sync primary and secondary output in this particular mode? It would be great, because this way we could finally output stereoscopic 3D in side-by-side mode!
AutoDesk Smoke :: Feature - Info - Full Screen Mode
Jul 23, 2012To hide the top menu bar and use the application in full screen, you must specify this setting in the Smoke Setup utility, which is found in the Smoke 2013 folder. In the Smoke Setup utility, under the General tab, set the Menu Bar option to no. When you hide the top menu bar, certain options, exclusive to the top menu bar appear at the bottom right of the screen. You must restart Smoke after making the change for it to take effect.
why but it feels to much more like a real application again! Hadnt realised just how much I disliked menu bars until now.Now how do I create some color bars?

Sep 10, 2011I'm working on an edit, which is in video mode. Now I have to include OpenEXR material, which is in linear mode. How can I combine the two and still have the correct color?
I can set it in view mode to linear, but then all my video shows as linear too, plus, as soon as I leave the view mode, it all goes back to video, and my EXR's are too dark then..... what can I do?

AutoDesk Smoke :: Resize - Simple Way To Scale Proportionally?
Nov 19, 2012i have an image H:3639 W:4849 , now i want to resize it proportionally down to smaller resolution. Why there's no fast way to do scaling proportionally for example 2x , 3x or 1/4x etc. In above example , the only way is by using calculator and input a new custom destination resolution. My opinion is : there should be a button to grab whatever the source size and paste it into the destination h/w and then need a feature to lock the ratio , so while i change the w , the h will adjust automatically (simply like the 'prop' mode in the source area) . Right now i have to do too many 'click' and 'click' just for that simple task.

May 7, 2012I have a string of text that I'd like to animate in a way, that the text is already visible, and then one letter after another grows a litte and then scales back down to it's original size. The only way I would know how to do it is manually typing every letter, but that's a lot of work! So I thought, maybe there is something else (I already looked at the presets, but they didn't really work..

AutoDesk Smoke :: Moving Grids Or Wireframes Through 3D Objects?
Nov 14, 2012I'm looking at the possibilities of making grids moving across 3D objects like toruses (tori?) and ext bicubics to get kinda oldschool vector like effects. Slightly inspired by Hitchcock's Vertigo titles.
Using grids on diffuse map isn't looking great, with some artifacts where lines cross.
Changing the object to wireframe looks great, but I don't suppose there's some clever way to get the wireframe to animate across the surface is there? So the grid changes in some way?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoDesk Smoke :: Make PIP In Timeline With Axis
Aug 29, 2012I'm trying to make a PIP in a timeline with Axis. PIP is a easy thing so I made it of course.
But the problem is When I use multiple PIPs. There's no Global axis like in Action, so I couldn't control PIPs at once. I thought make a Gap effect with axis or Container would be work, but It didn't work as I thought.
Do I have to make a mask for PIP? Is there any way to move, rotate, scale them together easily? & Axis could have only one image? In animation view, there's a Global axis and a image axis.
AutoDesk Smoke :: How To Make CFX Clip Of Sequence
Jul 22, 2013Kind of at my wits end with this software. Decided to give it a proper test on a job involving some wire removal and a bit of 3D comping. Every day brings hourly crashes, corrupted sequences, black frame renders, inability to archive projects, on and on. It's like every shot on this project is a minefield of troubleshooting and trying to find workarounds just to get a render complete. I'm spending easily an extra 20 hours a week just trying to overcome problems with the software.
Now I've got a sequence that I literally spent 4 hours on and just trying to open it brings smoke to a hard crash. Trying to make a cfx clip of the sequence takes half an hour to save so I've only been doing that once a day.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Action Matte Output - Add Objects From Schematic To Object List?
Oct 1, 2012Just playing with actions multiple outputs. Have added a matte output successfully but can't find the 'edit output' option to add objects from the schematic to the object list, even if I add all I am then seeing unexpected behaviour using the different blend modes. Is this operator error (it wouldn't be the first time...)?

Oct 8, 2012A quick question re bookmarks. My normal workflow involves working from one project folder on our server where all the rushes, edl's, artwork etc all reside. I just soft imported the rushes and added a bookmark to that network folder. However when I enter the conform module I have no bookmarks in that menu. Could we make the bookmarks global so that whichever module I am in in smoke I can see the same bookmarks, or at least make it a preference option?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Annotation Scale Option Is Displayed Only In Model And Viewport Mode But Not In Layout Mode
Mar 14, 2013“annotation scale” on the lay out mode,
I’m not sure about the current “annotation scale” in case of lay out mode.
Annotation scale option is displayed only in the model and viewport mode but not in the lay out mode (attached)!
Based on what annotative objects living on the lay out but neither in the model (or viewport) are re-sized? At this mode, there is no option to choose the annotation scale?
On other words, how to choose the annotation scale in the lay out mode?
