Spherical image placement

does anyone know how to place 8 images as if they are being warped around a circle, radiating from the centre? Kind of like a clock face… so the first image is at the 12oclock position, second is at the 1.5, at the 3, 4.5, 6 etc. Also looking for a way to rotate each image so they are aligned with the curve of the circle.
I assume I can achieve this with the spherical transform node but I don’t really know how. Ideally I’d like to also roto the edges of each image so they can bleed into each-other, but that can probably be done before the transform…

ideas? :confused:

promote spline/curve in gizmo

hi i’m migrating from shake. I tried to use nuke gizmo. I created a rotopaint and place it in a group to create a gizmo. My question is : is it possible to promote the spline (roto) of the gizmo. i tried using/pick the rotopaint.curve , but i only got the transform handle, i cannot see my spline/curve or the control points …which means i can only move the roto but can not edit the roto curve/spline (except i go inside the gizmo and edit.)

the temporary solution is move the rotopaint node out of the gizmo, but i only want to know if it’s possible or not?

anyone can help?

thanx,
andi

Placing an object in space Zdepth

Hey guys, I’ve rendered 3d leaves falling in Maya, Vray. The files were rendered in a multichannel exr with motion blur. And I rendered the zdepth for DOF in Nuke.

I’ve got footage of a person shot on a green screen and I keyed the bg out.

Now, id like to be able to position the person in z space in the middle of the falling leaves. How can I go about doing this with the render layers I have. Is it possible?

I’ve added a camera, scene, and a 3d card that I mapped the person on. How do I do this last bit?

Thanks guys

fur and depth of field (frischluft)

Hi @all,

i have big trouble with maya fur in conjunction with frischluft lenscare.
The zdepth looks well for me, but frischluft lenscare cuts away all my furdetails.
If i look to the sharp zone under the lenscare tool, then i get i realy crispy 8bit like result. It looks like lenscare can´t go enough into the details.
Is there a solution for this problem?

maybe it´s a generally problem, because on the sharp areas on my picture i get hard crispy an inside cutted edges..

oh….and i use Fusion for comp…

File Formats for Tracking / VFX Pipline

I search the forum, but don’t found a good solution for my work.

What is the best workflow for Tracking in SynthEyes to work seamless with other Software in pipeline?

1) Footage is shot with the Canon 7D and records its HD movies as MOV files using AVC / H.264 compression. Some shots are from RED (Premiere have been able to work with the native REDCODE files (.R3D file extension).

2) CG Elements are Lightwave 9.6 render multipass as EXR

3) VFX Comp is in Fusion 6 (Windows, 64Bit)

4) Final Editing / Cut is in Adobe premiere pro (Windows, 64Bit)

I read that TIFF or PNG are best for tracking in SE? What Software is able to create as batch process to PNG or TIFF Sequence (MPEG Streamclip has Codex issues with MOV, Fusion 64 Bit can’t read MOV)?

What do others use as VFX Pipeline File Formats from 1) to 4) ?

Thanks
