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 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?

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.

How can I adjust this?
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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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 ?

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.

View 3 Replies View Relatedhow can we create freeze frame like we do in FCP. i tried with Command U but that comes with audio and when i stretch on time line it gives handles. where in FCP when i create freeze frame it is like a still frame of JPG or any other file. when i stretch it just increase the duration of the still file.
Secondly if i did chroma key in FCP and i take the freeze frame of the clip, it creates the freeze with matte(alfa or transparent). how can we create that?
I have a sequence contain couple of clips/cuts. I then create a container and save the container in the desktop. What i want to do is to make this container as a 'master' clip so every time i put it into a new sequence, it will create an instance of the master clip. This means everytime i edit the master clip (change edit /trim etc), it will reflect immediatelly in all the instances. Is it possible ? The current implementation, i can only duplicate/copy which then they become disconnected from the 'master' clip. Do i have that options ? This is handy when i want to have managed control of that container.

View 9 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 4 Replies View RelatedI have a bunch of shots in which I have to place layers of smoke in z-depth. I found out that there is a plugin system for Nuke called YUVSOFT which does this but the company will not release their plugins for small market jobs. The depth maps don't have to be anything special or perfect. I just don't want to have to spend days and days rotoing out a 30 or 40 layers per shot with Mocha. Will the Motion Analysis node create the vectors to assist in depth map creation?
View 3 Replies View RelatedUsing the axis transition how would I go about creating a push, it sounds so simple but I've been screwing around for a little bit and haven't done it.
I've done a "slide in" on my incoming clip but thats just half of it. Also, I saw somewhere that you can reveal the axis nodes on a timeline axis effect, but I'll be damned it I cant remember how.
I have a new project coming up.At the beginning, everything is supposed to be in a black and white world, just the product is supposed to be colored. And everywhere, where you place the product, the surroundings become colored too (as if being washed over with color). I already started playing around, but the result is not yet satisfying.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm in thumbnail view (desktop) and i want to create a single coloured frame (right click and select new/colour source). i want to choose color by picking up from a clip in my desktop. The problem that as soon as i choose 'colour source', for whatever reason.... the background (desktop) become darker, so whatever i pick from background will be invalid color.
