Hasta La Motion!

Hi,

I’m having some problems whereby when I hit "L" to preview, it would of course preview render first in the viewer, but when I click on an earlier keyframe to playback, it plays slowly at first and I would have to reclick to an earlier keyframe again to sort of smoothen out the playback. I would have to keep doing this to random places in the timeline to smoothen the playback.

Is this a bug, or is this normal? I am using Nuke 6.0, but a workmate has reported the same thing in Nuke 6.1.

Any thoughts appreciated, and sorry if this issue has been addressed before. Cheers…

Hey guys,

I’m using the CC Rain effect for part of a hologram-like effect, but I’d like to get the rain to fall upwards, instead of downwards like normal rain.

I have the effect on an adjustment layer and have tried to time-reverse the layer, but it simply makes the rain effect disappear entirely.

There an easy way to make the rain effect play in reverse and flow upwards instead of down?

Thanks,
-Dave

I need to "grow" a logo out of the palm of an opening hand. Logo is built and tracking done. I’m going to use a particle attached to the curve of the outside edge of the logo and as it travels from the bottom of the geometry to the top, I would like to have the logo itself appear as though it was formed from the very same electricity (particle trail). An example (albeit way overblown) would be the Tron lightcycle or the objects green lantern creates from what visually appears to be energy.

In AE or NUKE I could do this with a simple mask animation. I’d like to learn how to do this in Maya though. I can’t imagine there’s not a tool to achieve something like this? I have searched relentlessly but as you can imagine search terms for something like this continuously bring up "selection masks" which is not what I’m trying to do.

Thank you for any feedback!

Tim Gettys and Alfredo Diaz have a video project due in less than a day. Will they come up with an idea and finish it in time!?!?!
