Reflection Pass Slightly different result???

hi i hope someone can tell me why.. i find that the reflection pass does not seem to composite correctly as it gives slightly.. tiny.. bit…. darker result as compared to the single
beauty pass(that has all the passes rendered from 3ds max).

Layer of Composition In After Effect
1) reflection pass = add
2) Lighting = multiply
3) Diffuse = normal

AE font problem

Is there a way to effectively use pixel fonts and have them maintain their clarity? I cant seem to find AE’s anti-alias feature. what i mean is that edges of my font are pixelated Any info appreciated.

thanks guys

Danilo Parise – Angelsign

Oggi vi presentiamo Danilo Parise, giovane motionographer italiano, che dopo essersi laureato al in Visual Communication al Politecnico di Milano si è immerso subito nel mondo del lavoro, inizialmente in Nextmedialab dove ha realizzato i video dei Vallanzaska (ai tempi, 2004, era una tecnica pioneristica ed innovativa, con Alessandro Arrighini e Gustavo Sonoda), successivamente in Sky Sport dove sono nati i progetti di Sky Calcio Show, Playerlist, Attenti a quei due, per citarne alcuni. Dopo una breve parentesi londinese in BSkyB, che ha comunque prodotto i suoi frutti come dei pitch per degli ident HD e story per Gillette, è diventato freelance. In questo modo riesce oltre a portare avanti tutte le collaborazioni che non ha mai interrotto anche a dedicarsi a nuovi progetti come i video per Tronic Studio alla conferenza Oracle “Your Open World” tenutasi a San Francisco.

Danilo ha risposto a qualche nostra domanda e ci dice “Per quanto riguarda i software, uso molto 3d. Ai tempi dell’università avevo iniziato con Maya, in Sky sono passato a 3dstudio e ora uso stabilmente Cinema4d oltre che ovviamente tutta la famiglia Adobe e sottolineo la famiglia di plugin trapcode. […] Penso che l’idea sia alla base di qualsiasi progetto vincente ben più importante della bellezza della grafica o effetto speciale ben riusciuto.”

What do you think about this?

Nuke 5.1v4 released

Nuke 5.1v4 Released

Version
Nuke 5.1v4

Release Date
3 April 2009

Supported Operating Systems
• Mac OS X 10.5 “Leopard” (32-bit only)
• Windows XP SP2, XP64
• Linux CentOS 4.5 (32- and 64-bit)

New Features
There are no new features in this release.

Feature Enhancements
• Added documentation for the Text node. See Creating Text Overlays on page 264 of the
User Guide.

Bug Fixes
• Read/Write nodes: the QuickTime reader/writer introduced gamma and transform shifts and
differences on Windows and Mac OS X. In older versions of Nuke, QuickTime movies were
written out too dark, and the darkness differed between Mac OS X and Windows. Now,
QuickTime movies should appear with the correct gamma on each platform (which is different
on Mac OS X and Windows), so that when you view them in QuickTime Player or Final Cut
Pro, they will look correct.

etc…
