Hasta La Motion!

I’ve run into a frustrating problem while trying to improve my solution in PFtrack 4.1.

So i’ve solved and want to delete the features that spike into the red in the proj-E graph. But i only want to delete the red parts. but when i select the auto feature and right click the;
Remove From Frame
Remove From Frame+Forwards
Remove From Frame+Backwards
are all grayed out.

I’m sure when i did this in college I was able to delete the auto features from specific frames. I should point out that i can still delete the auto features entirely, but i don’t really want to do that.

i’ve gone over the manual but haven’t found anything.
Am i doing something stupid?

Appreciate any help

Thanks

The software company cebas Visual Technology Inc. and the well known visual effects house Pixel Magic have agreed to develop advanced software and workflows that are already being used for converting “Harry Potter” to 3D Stereo. The technology was successfully pioneered for the major studio epic “The Chronicles of Narnia – The Voyage of the Dawn Treader”.

Based on an intense cooperation with Pixel Magic, cebas created new algorithms and software to significantly simplify and accelerate 2D to 3D Stereo image conversion. The Pixel Magic proprietary, streamlined workflow, along with the development from cebas, enabled a timely delivery of high quality stereoscopic sequences for the most recent “Narnia” picture.

"When Head of R&D at Pixel Magic, Rifaat Dagher, approached us to come up with a more efficient and productive solution for 2D to 3D Stereo conversion, our team of German engineers was thrown into the cold water at first,” cebas CEO Edwin Braun said.

“But after a considerable amount of development and real world scenario testing with Pixel Magic, we came up with a highly optimized, unique solution. We think this will give Pixel Magic a competitive edge in stereo conversion for years to come,” he added.

Pixel Magic VFX Supervisor and lead stereographer Ray McIntyre noted: "This latest picture marks a milestone for us. Our partnership with cebas allows us to develop software that further streamlines our pipeline, decreasing the number of man days needed to complete stereo conversion work.”

Pixel Magic General Manager Scalice added: “Our client, Twentieth Century Fox, was very happy with the results in ‘Narnia’. The cebas tools were instrumental in delivering our stereoscopic 3D conversion in a timely and cost effective manner."

Key Purpose of the Job

To create highly detailed models suitable for use in visual effects work for film, that cover a wide range of organic and non-organic objects.

Needs To Do

* The modeller will need to work very closely with the texture painters, shader writers, look development artists and the riggers to generate models that are suitable for feature film work. The models may be organic in nature, such as various creatures or characters, or they may be models of rigid objects such as cars, buildings, props or sets. They will need to make use of a wide range of reference materials. Models may need to be created from scratch or from scans, reference photography, maquettes, miniatures or other set models. They will also have to work closely with their leads to determine an appropriate level of detail for any given model. It will also be important to work closely with the riggers to produce models that meet their work flow requirements, and with texture painters to determine the optimal UV layout for a model.

Needs To Know

* Strong spatial awareness and a good sense of form, scale and proportion.
* A very keen eye for detail.
* A full working knowledge of modelling in any one or more of these packages: Maya, XSI and Cyslice.
* Ability to work with packages such as Mudbox or Z-brush are an advantage.
* Polygon and sub-division surface modelling. Knowledge of NURBS modelling is not generally required, but a plus.
* How to deliver a "clean" model with tidy polygon/sub-d placement and good basic UV layout for texturing
* A good knowledge of Linux would be an advantage. Familiarity with Windows useful but not essential.
* When to model detail or have the the detail added through the shading, by liasing with the shader writers and look development artists.
* At least 1 years experience in feature films would be beneficial. Experience in other areas of visual effects (TV, Games) will also be taken into account.

Needs To Be

* Meticulous
* Team oriented
* Able to learn in house work flows and methodologies
* Able to adapt to changing requirements or briefs
* Resourceful

Measures of Performance

* On time delivery
* Show continuous improvement
* Ability to deliver any required model at an appropriate level of detail and realism, which fits smoothly into the pipeline of a show
