View 1 RepliesI 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 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

Stone&Wire is red, and won’t restart.
After typing
cat /usr/discreet/sw/log/sw_dbd.log
into terminal I got this:

I have rebooted several times, but no luck. I’m not a programmer, but as far as I understand, the problem is on a framestore. Funny thing is, the last saved version is still available in Smoke, everything is in place, and it plays normally, just when it comes to saving or exporting, it crashes, or refuses to export.
Is it having problems debayering .r3d files at full quality? It works fine with all other quality settings but with full I just get digital noise.
The .r3d files are 5K from an Epic.
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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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 ?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to turn on 'constant shape' parameter in gmask and i want to do it for multiple spline. How can i do that ? How to select multiple spline in viewer ? Also, i tried to pick multiple spline using animation editor but when turn 'on' the 'constant shape' , it only apply to single spline.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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 cfx schematic , i got an action network, i set this action so it can output the comp and also the matte (the node got 2 output indicator : yellow and blue). Now if i right click and choose 'create cfx' , i will get a new cfx node , but i only output the final comp , there's no matte. In the pref, activate the 'generate alpha' will only output either white or black. Is this feature not avalable yet ?
View 5 Replies View Relatedcan i collect multiple nodes and collapsed them into a single node (group) and export it as a single new node (custom node ) where then i can add or expose/hide any original parameter as well as creating my custom (new) parameter or button where the button will be controlled by expression (python or similar) to do custom task. It's like in Sidefx houdini and foundry Nuke (pure node based app). can i do this in smoke.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been looking for a while for a way to deactivate or disable a node in CFX. I know there is a way to disable nodes in Action by hiding them. Is there a way to do this in CFX? It would be handy to turn on and off a node in a CFX tree to see its effect on the whole tree.
