Lost my roto?

Here is a weird problem I am having;

My .shk project was created on one computer, saved accordingly and brought to a second computer where I reconnected my media and went about my business. When I went back to the first computer, not only did I have to reconnect my media again (not surprising) but I had lost every roto shape. Hold out mattes, garbage masks, the whole lot- gone.

Any hot tips as to why?

Help help help help. All assets in shake projects red! Disconnected! Why? What to do?

I really dont want to manually go and reconnect all my assets, this is a pretty complex shake script.

Heres what happened, I was working on a project all day, the next day, for no reason what so ever, I did no move any elements, etc, or maybe I moved 1 or 2 files from their original location, but I open the project, and all of a sudden all of my asset in nodes are red, saying the file is not in that location! So I go and see whats going on, and the files have not moved, and shake even reads its location to be correct,

for example, mac drive 1: shots/ shot1.mov is exactly in that same spot, yet shake reads it as not being there! I go and manually reconnect it even though I should not have to and shake then finally reads it again,

Is there a way to auto reload all in assets in shake? Or is this a bug that must simply be dealed with? Will this happen again Im afraid? Im using shake 4.1 on a mac pro with dual xeon intel processors and 2 gigs of ram.

Even worse, I tried opening another project, and the same thing happens, all of my shake projects are corrupted! All which reside on different drives too!

FYI all my elements are on different internal drives, such as compositing elements on drive 1, the project on drive 2, other elements on drive 3.

Any help please!?

how to put animated tattoo on moving body

hey,

I’m a student at an art college and I’m working on my thesis, which in my school, is a visual fx short. In one scene for my thesis I have to make it look as if a tattoo is animating on my live action character who is moving around. the tattoo is really intensive. it needs to wrap around the arms and face of my character so i’m not sure a simple track will cut it.
I’m wondering what is the best way, that looks the most professional, to do this? My background is mostly in After Effects and a bit of PF Track, Sillouette, and Maya. I’m also going to take a Nuke class this coming semester but I’m not sure how far past the basics we’re going to get. If you have any suggestions for how to do this with these programs it will be most appreciated – simply not going to have enough time to learn another program.

Thanks so much!
