AutoDesk Smoke :: Undo Missing In Stabilizer
Jul 9, 2013Is it just me or has undo gone the way of the dodo in the stabilizer module? Please can it be resurrected. It is incredibly useful for when a track goes wrong and you just want to try a different tracking point. As it stands I now have to go back into the animation channel, select shift, select delete, delete keyframes and then retrack.

Jun 15, 2012The 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...

AutoDesk Smoke :: 3D Path In Action
May 4, 2012I created a 3D text and a 3D path. Now I simply want the text to follow the path (the text should always look at me, so I can read it). But as soon as I connect the path to my axis of my text, the letters are being pushed together. No matter what path settings I try (Look at... etc) the letters don't extend back to their original "position"

AutoDesk Smoke :: Tracking In Action
Feb 16, 2012I have a 10 sec clip that I want to track. It's a girl driving on her bike a long a street. The camera is always parallel to her, so that the scene behind her keeps on changing. How can I track such a shot? I know, that if I want to track something going off screen, I have to jump to the last frame and adjust the tracker, but this clip is just too long, to just place the tracker at the very last frame (almost randomly).

AutoDesk Smoke :: Interlaced Output From Action CFX?

View 5 Replies View RelatedAutoDesk Smoke :: White Looks Grey In Action
Apr 18, 2012I have a shot with a white background. There is some text that has to disappear somewhere into the white, so I figured, I'm just gonna load in a white color source, lay it on top, and put it in front of the text in z space. But nope, the white doesn't match the background white. It looks grey. I tried to apply a CC, but that doesn't change anything.... I already restarted smoke, but that didn't fix it either.
What else can I do?

AutoDesk Smoke :: Lensflare - Lighting In Action
Aug 20, 2012I have a shot where I added a lensflare to my light. Now, in the picture you see, I separated couple parts of the picture, so some can be affected by the light and some won't.
I always thought I would achieve that by hitting Space+L and drag a line from the light node to the image I want to affect and hold down ALT to connect the light node to the image that I want to exclude. But as you can see in the picture, the glow of the lensfalre is not only on my headlamps of the car, but it's also on the pillar next to it.
I also arranged everything in Z space, so the light would be behind the pillar, but it doesn't work the way I want it to....
Plus, I was wondering, is there a way to do a defocus on the lights, so they look like the ones in the upper left corner?

View 7 Replies View RelatedAutoDesk Smoke :: How To Layer Up Action Nodes
Feb 12, 2013I have a project where I have a high res of an astronaut on the moon.
The elements are:
Foreground: Mid shot of Astronaut
Mid: Moon (as in the ground he is standing on behind him)
Background: Space
I've managed to separate out the elements, position them in actions' 3d space and even add a nice little lens flair in the reflection of his helmet as the camera slowly tracks from left to right. The effect (well we've all seen it before) is that it adds 3d depth via parallax scrolling to the photo.
What I can't achieve is a realistic reflection of the moon surface (i.e. the ground in front of him) reflecting in his helmets mirror-like visor.
In order to fake the reflection I essentially want the motion in the reflection of the moons surface to be opposite to that of the mid ground behind him.
My plan was to re-use the mid ground moon surface flipped horizontally and view it through a matte/alpha describing the visors shape and then animate it moving in the opposite direction with a couple of simple keyframes.
How I tried to achieve this was:
Prepare the layered file in photoshop including helmet visors alpha layer (a simple coloured layer with a hole in it)
Bring into action and separate out all the layers in 3d ensuring the helmet matte remains in the same position as the astronaut layer
Animate camera tracking
Come out in to connect fx
Dupe the action node twice and rename the new ones 'helmet alpha' and 'moon reflection'
Go into 'helmet alpha' and delete everything except the camera and the helmet alpha
Go into the 'moon reflection' and delete all except the camera and the moon surface
Go back into cfx and use some compositing node to flip the moon surface (and plug the moon surface action node into that..?)
Then create a new node which allows me to plug the helmet alpha into the alpha channel and the moon surface into the fill channel
Create another new node which allows me to combine the result of this previous node with the original node and layer it on top.
AutoDesk Smoke :: Combining Two Mattes In Action
Feb 28, 2012Is it possible to combine two mattes in action?
I load a front back and matte into action. And let's say, I want to add something to that matte, is there a way to do so? Obviously it doesn't work with the keyer, since, as soon as I enter the keyer, my matte is "gone".
My workaround so far, was to create the new matte in action, output it to the edit desk, and then blend them together within a container and then take that back into action....

AutoDesk Smoke :: Action Camera On Path With Look At
Nov 25, 2013I'm doing an animation with simple camera moves. One of them is a camera moving slightly around an object. I want to make a "look at" or similar, so that the object is always in center no mater where i move the camera. This works untill i connect the camera to a 3D path - then the aim follows the path - not the camera :-|
How can i animate a camera on a path and make the aim stick to a certain location in my scene?An extra question: How can i make an object move at a steady speed on a path no matter how i drew my path (hope this makes sense)?
