AutoDesk Smoke :: Using GMask With CFX Paint?
Jan 17, 2013
I am trying to paint out a logo on a bottle with the clone paint tool, then have what I have painted over track/scale as the bottle zooms in during the shot. I think I am supposed to be using the Gmask to get the geometry of the track done (as I can do this with a matte if I want that to cover the logo with a blur or gradient or something else), but I am uncertain how to link the Gmask track node to the paint node in the correct way.

I'm in CFX in the Modilar Keyer. I loaded a setup previously with GMASKs previously applied on a HD shot. I now need to scale the GMASK for a 4K HD shot (200%). I was told to go in the GMASK schematic (the one that looks like action) and add a parent axis to move all the masks at once. WHen I'm in GMASK schematics I don't have access to a node bin. Where do I add an AXIS to parent all my masks in there?

I draw a spline (gmask) and when it overlap itself, it will cut a hole. Can we change this kind of setting? I know it's already like this from the beginning but honestly what is the BIG reason to have this behavior ?
Also in gmask node, how to delete multiple spline without going to gmask schematic ? why can't just simply select multiple spline icon and press 'del' ?

Is it possible in Smack 2013 to feather only a section of a GMask? I have cut out the sky with a GMask in a shot and need to blend the matte only in a particular section.

I'm trying to reveal text using Gmask and Blur. When I apply the effects I get a dark edge around the text. I've tried the different key operators in the blur node but that's not working.
How can I adjust this?

Is there a way to create premade shapes with a GMask? A perfect circle, or a triangle, for example.

In certain applications you are offered the option to snap the tangents at 45 degrees angles as you hold down a hotkey. Does this option exist in Smoke?

I didnt see an auto adjust option in the gmask node, I can always use the hot key (classic smoke not FCP7 ha!) but I think its a nice feature to not have hidden.
Also having the context button in plain site not a right click would be nice too. Not a fan of the right click anything being a long time user of smoke and flame.

I'll be tweeking my gmask on frame 1. (Autokey is not select) then I move my gmask to frame 19, make an adjustment, and keframe from 1 to 19 is set. I just want to change the whole gmask? how to adjust the mask points globally? (something like the uber key in mocha) that way I can scrub thru my timeline, adjust my mask, and it changes the shape for the entire time, but does not add a keyframe?
also, I have my mask moving in. and points keyframes. I find that I need to move the animtion back 2 frames, how do you adjust the timing of keyframes in gmask?

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 drew a Gmask with 4 points and broke the handles. My questions is:
1. How do I know when 2 or more points are exactly on the same vertical or horizontal line?
2. How do i get them to align?
3. How do I move 2 or more points together? (Control select and drag)?

I have more than 50 geometries in my Gmask module, now I want to change all color to 0. Select all geometry and change the value doesn't work. I know I can always invert it in the next node, but I just wonder if there's any button that I missed.

I have a clip where I have to remove a ring from a finger. I thought about using paint. But I might have to exchange that clip for a different color grade. Now, when I load paint again (from history) all the strokes I made are gone (I didn't work with autopaint). And I also can't exchange clips in history view. So what are my best options?

My main usage of Desktop paint is partially sharpening important parts of the picture that the focus puller unfortunately missed. I would love to see sharpening added to the tools in CFX Paint. Blur is there already, should not be the hardest thing to implement.

In terms of feature sets, it seems like a few more things are needed to make this a full-fledged compositor... (so one doesn't have to leverage AE/Nuke/etc.).
In particular:
- 3d projector
- 3d tracker
- scene to point cloud (or even automated 2d to 3d conversion??)
- particle system
These things seem to be standard elsewhere... For us, it seems sort of crucial to add that. We think that not having to round trip is a really great edge of Smoke, and the integration between CFX and the time-line is very well done! However, then there's so many things missing compared to other packages. And those are the type of features that can really create more complex scenes and really speed up the work.
Also check out the new context-aware patch/move/paste tools in Photoshop. That would be a great addition to the paint module. CS6 has a timeline now and offers a lot more in terms of paint. Esp. if one can apply context moves to the entire motion sequence with auto-paint (that's something where PS CS6 still lags).

I have a paint node with several sources for revealing. I´d like to see these sources for example to set the slip within paint. The documentation says F1 F1 but that doesn´t work. Is this a bug or are there alternative ways of seeing that source?

On the new smoke for mac however, I am getting luma shifts after doing a lot of reveal/cloning backgrounds etc.
This does not happen all the time, and not consistently, I find if I paint for a while and go back and forth, the image becomes much darker, not always the entire clip, sometimes just the frame I'm painting.

I was wanting to try out the clone tool to paint out a fly in some footage I have, but I can't get the clone tool to grab a sample region. I hold down ctrl and click where I want to sample from, but the green circle doesn't appear. I can do it by manually offsetting it with the x and Y position, but I'd like to do it with my pen.

I'm doing painting (clone brush). The problem after I finish I realize that i only paint single frame (current frame). I want to extend the duration of the stroke , how to do this? do i have to redo all the paint using autopaint? is this the best way I can do?

I have a number of clips that were soft imported, then used in the paint module to remove some blemishes. I have since done a 'store local copy' on the original clips.
The painted clip still has the 'soft' indicator. How do I update the painted clip?
Is there a way to go into the history of the painted clip and replace the soft import with the local copy? Do I 'store local copy' on the painted clip?

When I am in Paint and sketching with the brush I get blocky artefacts.
If I hit esc it gets better, but does not fix the problem.

When I use Paint module with Graphics menu, I get bad edges randomly on the image in action. The default setting of Anti-aliasing in paint module is 4 now, and I have tried to change the value from 4 to 1, 1 to 4. the only differences are the amount of, position of bad edges.
I also tried to check the "Divide" function in the media-list, but it gets from specific colour to white. I only want to take the bad edges away from the image.
