Hasta La Motion!

actually i’m a complete beginner BUT i am a master in learning
(learnt photoshop cs 3 without any help or tutorials just in 12 days
the same with power point but 20 days and particle illusion took a month ) i know that they r easy to learn but while i was 9–>13 those weren’t easy and nw i’m learning aftereffects BUT (i’ll use some real simple words cuz as i said i’m a beginner) what immersed me into compositng is that in aftereffects i can bring a png 2d image on a transperent layer and put it into a live action footage (avi) so i could put a 2d png space ship into my street and make it move so i wanted to put a 3d space ship model into my street and make it move,rotate (and if possibel animating it ..itself) and i discovered that this process is called compositing. so i was told that this process can’t be achieved using after effects so what software should i use ?? and plz don’t say complicated things cuz i don’t know (understand) what is node based and what is layer based !! all i know is that i want to put a cgi 3d model into a live action scene and make it move ?? i have autodesk combustion 2008 does this work ?? and if yes then plz give me a compositing tutorial if not then reccommend me a software but plz put in mind that i have a nvidia ge-force 5200 video card …………..plz correct any wrong information i said !! any help will be appreciatd BTW that’s my first post in that perfect forum ;D

Hey guys,

after I had to do some maya to nuke object and camera exporting. With animation on both of them I found a neat python script that I like to share with you, because it works pretty well and saved me some time today.

(For the mods: I hope it’s ok to link to another site?…)

It lets you select the objects, lights and whatsoever, calculate the animation and actually paste them into nuke, where it creates all the necessary nodes with animation data.
It runs fine under Maya 2011 and NUKE 6.0v5 .

cheers, jaden
