AutoDesk Smoke :: Possible To Have A Control Hotkey Setup
Jun 21, 2012
I have used smoke for a few years now, and one of the things that I find frustrating is the camera controls in action.Would it be possible to have a control hotkey set-up like maya/XSI/3DS? Some other softwares allow you to choose the keyboard set-up.
Using the maya set-up:
Alt - left mouse : tumble
Alt - middle mouse : track
Alt - right mouse : dolly
This means while looking though the lens you can move the camera in any orientation, you only need to hold down the alt key and use the 3 button mouse/Wacom to navigate.

The undo hot key seems flaky. Often the Mac menu based undo works, but the option + z only works sometimes. It does something, but that's not an undo.
Is this a bug? I think ESP. In certain CFX modules...

Is there a hotkey to add/edit a soft effect?
I know that the Euphonix panel we have has an edit soft effect button. But it doesn't add the effect as well. (plus you have to hit the "NAV" button to make it accessible)
Does this function already exist?

How to bypass/disable multiple nodes without have to do it one by one ?
The other strange thing is when i think i can do it by define a new hotkey for disable/enable the bypass button, i found that everytime i change a hotkey for the bypass button, it will apply only to current node. So do i have to set hotkey for every single node ?? and of course everytime i create new cfx , the hotkey will be reset.

Is there a way to save a setup in Action so that I can use it again in another Action composite? What I'm looking for is what ConnectFX Clips do in Smoke2013. I have some 3D models, connected together with Axis and some bkgd elements that I'd like to use over and over again in different Action composites. I'd like to just import those setups (models etc.) into new Action composites. Is this possible?

I just loaded an Action setup made in 2012 to 2013R1 and everything is fine except that the Gmasks I did appear on the Keyer inside a layer but those are transparent. I mean I cant change the colour.

Using Smoke EXT1 and a previous user archived his project using the old school method; media and setups seperatly instead of just selecting the project as a whole.
I've draged the media into a library and restored that easy enough but can not find the details of how to recover the setups from the tar file in the archive. It does not show up in the media pannel at all, just an emply folder. How to get these setups loaded into a project?

Which option to set for any case on Adjust box.
There is a box below the Stablizer button. Pressing the Adjust Box for a while, it pops up with 3 options which are Adj off, Adj Axis, Adj offset. I've used "Adj off" all the time as default.
On the other side, there is one more Adjust box for Vertices. I don't get it either. I just used it set to "Adj Tangents" as any tutorial said.
I tried to understand it from user guide, but it is still unclear.

When i scrub playback control in the cfx , it's slower compare to if i scrub the same thing (same viewport layout) inside the timing editor timeline. In timing editor the scrubbing response is a lot smoother even when we're looking at the same objects on the viewer. The playback control need to be fixed.

I know most of us have 2 computers in our suites and would be nice to controll both computer without having to use 2 mice and 2 keyboards. Right now I am using 2 computers, a mac pro and a macbook pro. I would like to use my MacPro's keyboard and mouse to control the macbook pro much like a mouse and keyboard on a second display. I've been using an application called teleport, but it doesn't allow me to use keyboard commands.
I've heard/used synergy, but it's to much work for the final product.

what i like in fcp, i can easily doing cut very fast, because the clip is not 'sticky'. So i can grab the clip and move and i got a very 'light' drag. The timeline is more 'slippery' ... i don't know how to say it. The drawback is : it's sometime become too sensitive so i can easily by accident move the cut and mess up the edit. I become paranoid , so i have to hold my breath while clicking :-) . But again the pros : it's easy to do fast edit or to crumble cuts around.
In the other hand .. what i like in smoke , this will rarely happen that i accidentally move the clip while i intend to click it. It's more 'sticky' to the timeline. So there's like more friction while try to drag the clip (only when first click/drag the clip not when the clip is already floating). The drawback is sometime i feel , it's hard to do some fast cut just by moving the clip around. :-) well, as usual, if we have 2 options, option A and option B, then we will tend to ask : do i have option C ( somewhat between A and B) ?
I'm asking is there any sensitivity control while i drag the clip. So it's between FCP and SMOKE. Something like a 'treshold' parameter.

I'm noticing with the new 2012 released, start up times are much slower. This seems to be caused by a 3 minute long control surfaces: intialising.The only control surface I'm using is a Intos tablet.Is there anyway to by-pass this?The .cfg didn't seem to have any control surfaces line.

In gmask, i switch the softness to 'tracer' so i got individual control of each the control points (cp). But seems that the feather's cp doesn't have its own tangent control. Is is hidden ? how can i turn it on ? or is it not available ?

I'm specifically looking into using motion vectors to control the position of a texture. For a better idea of what I mean. See this video, especially at 1:08

I'm sure some people will call this the "Paperman" effect.
I see a lot of information out there on how to use motion vectors to do motion blur, but not much else. I'm sure they are capabable of soo much more! All that movement information from 3D in a 2D environment sounds great!
I have motion vector channels correctly exported from Maya and I'm wording which CFX combination I would use to composite a texture in a way that it was controlled by the movement information of the motion vector channel.
I know these 4 CFX can read motion vectors.
Motion Blur Node
Timewarp Node
Pixel Spread
Motion Analysis
But so far, no luck in achieving the desired effect.

While changing the media drive in Smoke setup via commenting out the current drive isn't a complicated process, I personally would find a more streamlined option useful. Something on the startup screen would be great: select project, user, media drive. When using FW800 drives, I typically try to have a discreet project drive that has everything on there for the current project. With the larger Thunderbolt raids, I am going back a little to the old system of having active storage and archive storage. However, when thunderbolt prices come down, I'll most likely have a separate drive for each project again.

I know that the AJA Kona 3 card has 2 outputs. Can Smoke send one eye to one channel and the other eye to the other of the Kona 3 card? Dual Stream output is what I am really getting at.

Is there any way that Smoke can see/output sub-blacks and super whites? Can't find any way of seeing them on my scope, Smoke just clamps everything. It won't even see anything below zero in order for me to make a correction on it, everything seems to be clamped on import. I'm using ProRes HQ footage.

I am experimenting with Smoke 2013 pre-trial and I am having issues with importing images and video with alpha channels.
1. If I have a layered Photoshop file or png with an alpha channel (a still frame lower third), I see that I can import it as a multi layered clip, but what is the best way to have it in the sequence to show up properly?
2. If I have a QuickTime in animation format or Pro Res4444 format with an embedded alpha, how can I import that file to show and cut it on a top layer to animate above my video?

Does Smoke have selection functionality similar to that of Combustion? As an example, you might want to selectively blur part of an image. In Combustion, you would draw a selection and then apply an operator above the selection to achieve this. I don't see a similar selection tool function in Smoke, but I imagine you could achieve the same effect by duplicating a layer and using a Gmask via the Wipe timeline FX.does Smoke not have a selection tool similar to Combustion?

Whats the dealing with importing TWs to Smoke? I have a show that's 70% keyframed with timewarps and need a way other then baking the effect to bring it into Smoke. It's comming from FCP7 and we have Automatic Duck but neither the XMLs or AAF bring anything other then the first speed of the clip. Any way to retain the keyframes?

I have made a design on autodesk inventor along with gear and motors which give input to the mechanism. (Stewart Platform)
I am able to test the design by giving a random rotary input to a motor component which features availabe on Inventor.
However, I want to control that input somehow. I just want to enter the final coordinates the design needs to reach and the motors should be actuated automatically so as to reach those coordinates.
I have a MATLAB code for the purpose but am unable to understand how to connect it to Autodesk Inventor.
