AutoDesk Smoke :: How To Import FBX Camera
Oct 19, 2012I tried to import a FBX camera from Mocha v3 and noticed that there is no FBX selection under the Object Tab in Action. Is that coming on the next Pre-Release?

AutoDesk Smoke :: Cannot Successfully Import Clips Via Gateway Import
Jan 21, 2012I can tell you cannot Gateway Import from a drive that is Read-Only. The clip seems to work, it just says pending render, of course when you import a large number of files it always says pending render. Unfortunately it never actually finishes pending render, and will list as failed in Backburner.
So you can for instance think you have relinked an entire timeline and start doing a fair amount of work on it, but you will then be unable to send this large timeline to your flame like you think.
There is no god damned reason it should allow you to gateway import something that you cannot actually gateway import. All it would need to do is check if the drive is read only before it does it and give you an error message IN THE APPLICATION. Rather than everything looking fine, but then making you go tease the meaning out of this from backburner:
smk001 1896942624 swBIOSubJobServer.C:298 01/21/12:18:14:05.450 1896942624 swBIOAdapter.C:403 01/21/12:18:14:06.504 Cannot process tasks 0... in /var/tmp/WireJob/SubJob0.
Read-only file system on processing S+W server..The fact that the color correct house had randomly given me an NTFS drive this time didn't occur to me for quite awhile, since the last two were both macOS.
AutoDesk Smoke :: Smoothing Out Camera Movement?
Jun 5, 2013I edit in FCPX and do effects and stuff in Smoke2013.
I have a shot done with handheld camera from helicopter. The camera is hung by a system, and we have a small gyro on it. But not yet a wiscam or other cool stuff.
So, in fcpx I can us load and lock X and it is really a beautiful steadycam shot. How do I do that in smoke.
The auto stabilizer does not give me a smoothcam version. And normal stabilizer is just for doing 2D stuff....
The shot, is a helicopter flying around an oilrig, and a nice horizon as well. It is orbiting the platform. So I have at least 90 degrees flying around the platform/oilrig.
How do I do this in smoke?
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)?
AutoDesk Smoke :: Export Camera To Cinema 4D
May 24, 2011Trying to export a camera from Smoke to Cinema 4D. Cinema recognized the FBX file and opens the scene with the camera, however none of the animation comes through. I've tried baking the animation in the export options and also baking the animation channel. Neither seems to work.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAutoDesk Smoke :: Making Layers Not Respond To 3D Camera In Action
Dec 11, 2012I have a 3d scene (FBX) with a 3d camera, rendered 3d elements and filmed elements that need to be comped in a way that required some layers to respond to the 3d camera and some need to stay 2d. Because some of the 2d layers need to occlude layers in 3d space it is not practical to pre comp.
Is there way in Action to get a a layer to ignore a 3d camera or respond to a different camera? In AE for example you would toggle the 3d layer setting.
Also is there a way to make a layer auto orientate towards the camera?

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoDesk Smoke :: EXR Look Different On Import
Nov 14, 2011I have RED footage which I exported as EXR. When I import them back in, they look exactly like the RED footage. But when I import the EXR in Fusion, export it back out, and then import that EXR into Smoke, it looks brighter, although I didn't change anything in Fusion. (when I compare the EXR from Smoke and the EXR from fusion in my finder on my desktop, they look exactly the same). So what is Smoke doing with the "foreign" exr on import?I was also playing with the LUT settings. I get a result which is close, but I need to be exact.

Jul 7, 2013I am having issues for a long time regarding importing XML into smoke 2013. Will try and explain you in breif.
First When we try an import XML into smoke it just doesnt do anything, in the message history box it comes up saying FOUND 0 SOURCES.
Nothing gets imported at all. No footage is imported, nothing is shown in timeline as well.
Second For a different project when the XML does get imported, the videos get imported but then again nothing is coming up in the timeline and in the message history box we get the following error.
XML Validation Failed.
Cannot process unliked media.
we have checked all the import options to make this work, including max up level and the rest but nothing is working.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Import PSD Into CFX Schematic?
Nov 26, 2012i can import the .psd using mediahub or desktop import or in action bin, i can use 'import' node. But i want to spot importing psd file directly from cfx schematic using 'read file' node in I/O tab. I will get one single file . I believe this node is containing multiple information (channels/layers). How can i extract the layers from that node ? how can i make this node usable since i can't make any connection to other node. Like in Nuke , there's a node named 'shuffle' which can extract or pull out a selected channel/layers from a single node. How to do this in cfx schematic ?
Talking about 'shuffle' node in Nuke. Is there any node similar to that? so the node not only can pull/extract channels but also can 'shuffle' or re-pipe the channel . For example pipe chan Red to chan Green, or Alpha to Red etc. What is the best way to do this ? do i have to use CC module ? any similar node in cfx schematic level?

View 6 Replies View RelatedAutoDesk Smoke :: XML Import From FCP - Unlinked Media
Aug 25, 2011I've been trying to import a XML from FCP (xml version 2), bun everytime I only get a timeline with unlinked media...
I placed the XML one directory above my media. But when I drag the XML into my library (having Store Local Copy turned on), I only get the "empty" timeline...
When I try to relink my media from the gateway, it's not relinking anything (it says, no video and audio found). Is there no way to import an XML without having to import the original media into my library? Also, no matter what kind of clip I'm importing, it always soft imports my clips, although store local copy is turned on...
Attached is a picture with the settings for my xml import (and on top the unlinked xml, which says SOFT, although, as you can see on the bottom of the screen store local copy is enabled).

AutoDesk Smoke :: Crashes In Library On XML Import From FCP
Oct 21, 2011I'm new to Smoke and have an issue. Im importing an xml from FCP and Smoke crashes in the library. I'm taking a class @ FXPHD and the first class is an easy xml import reading the source media.
As soon as I load the xml into the clip library Smoke crashes. I've already gone thru the system set up requirements and have a great machine built to Smoke requirements. I'm wondering if it is a network configuration of some sort? Not sure...

AutoDesk Smoke :: Import AAF From Avid Symphony 6?
Aug 2, 2012I am trying to import an AAF from Avid Symphony 6.
AAF is detected OK, when I try to import it gets stuck looking for sources. I have put the AAF files as close to the media as possible (1 folder up) as I do not want to put the AAFs in the MXF folder as it will upset the Avid.
I have simplified the AAF to have no speed changes, layers or effects - its a one layer cuts only sequence.
Smoke ends up not responding and I have to force quit.
AutoDesk Smoke :: Import As Frames / One Clip
Jan 31, 2013If there is still an option somewhere where I can force my import to be frames and set duration to 5 or 10 frames like in 2012. or force a set of sequences o be imported as one clip.
Update: Found the frames option but no frame durations available. But no single clip available in case of importing multiple sequences or frames that need to be in a single sequence.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoDesk Smoke :: Can Import Vector As Geom
Nov 29, 2012I'm making an HD version of a moving matte I did a while back in After Effects. I'm considering rebuilding it in Smoke.Basically I need to zoom into a shape, I guess cut by a mask, but I need to retain the crispness of the edge.
Having a Gmask on a media layer is rasterising the vector shape by the time it gets into Action so I can't blow it up.Do I need to do all the animation in a Gmask node? I see that it has it's own axis and schematic so so that could be ok, but I wonder if you can do it in Action.
Also, can I import a vector into Smoke as a Geom any how? The Geoms in Action and Gmask are interchangable are they?
