Terry Gilliam’s cutout animation tutorial

A blast from the past! The youthful Terry Gilliam explaining the methods behind his cutout animations.This has been circulating the interwebs for a bit, and we thought we’d share it with you all. Should be a treat for all you Monty Python fans out there.

How can I do the stroke around a roto’d person?

I see it all the time. It looks like an animated color from the write-on. Is there a plugin that does this?

out of node graph position of newly created node?

Hi,

I’ve experienced this issue as soon as I migrated to Nuke 6.3.

The newly created node will pop further down away from the last node I want the newly created to connect to. Sometimes, even out of the screen space allotted for the node graph.

I’ve tried creating new nodes via tab creation or the menu but the issue remains.

spec: NukeX 6.3v2, Win 7 x64, dual screen.

Is there a corresponding parameter in the pref that I can change to fix this behavior?

Thanks,
Jason

RotoPaint Python question

Hallo everyone
is it possible to reach RotoPaint root translate values via python?
I do not want position values of points, but of root only.
Thanks.

Node API?

I am in the process of learning to write expressions and am wondering how I view all parameters of a node. I know I can view some of them by hovering over the words in the properties bin but is there some sort of API that just lists all of these out? What makes me ask is I am asuming my read node has a parameter color.r but I have no way of confirming this. The Reference guide isn’t quite what I am looking for I want something more syntactical. For example, rather than just showing that a format parameter exists I want to know what form it should be written in.

Hi all, I am a 3D Modeller/ Texture Artist, Eager to start as soon as need be

I have recently graduated from De Montfort University on an Animation Course.
My main goal is to eventually become a Creature TD in a couple of years but I would be more then happy to start of as a runner since I see it as the best way to merge with the studio and get to know the artists within.
At the end of the 3 years my strengths have become mainly with 3D Modelling and Texturing, but I am still skilled in animating, rigging and even tracking and compositing for VFX.
I already have experience in working in non-profit projects where I was a 3D Modeller making creatures for games.
My main tools of trade are Maya and Mudbox, but I am also experienced in using After Effects, Photoshop, Boujou and PFTrack, which I have been able to learn to use through the online courses in Escape Studios.
Thank you for reading this, I hope I have peaked your interest and I will be eager to hear from you.
Attached is my resume, my website is at http://www.wix.com/th13rteen/vascogdm-test.

I want you to be aware about how to download the Premium Account files using Jdownloader rather than logging straightly into the webpage….

So here is the technique… How to download using JDownloader:

Download Accelerators downloads the files really faster than normal server. As am keep on changing the account, if you put the files in queue before the account expires…. the download will be automatically working even if the account expires…. so pls use this download manager.

Jdownloader Integration Guide

1) Download Download Jdownloader from http://jdownloader.org/download/index
2) Click on windows then on "Download Windows offline Installer"
3) Download & install
4) Open Jdownloader, click on "Premium" "Host A to J" Select any host and click "Add Account" [From the next time, just click the Settings button next to Link Grabber button]
5) Now select Host as "Filesonic.com"
6) Add Filesonic username to name & password to password
7) Copy the links that you want to download, open jdownloader click on links "add links" add url, paste links click on "Parse URL"
8) Just click the Start Download button (Alt+P or THE PLAY ICON at the top left)
9) If you feel trouble/annoyed about the Captchas then do the following to disable them….

Go to Settings > Modules > AnitCaptcha
"Disable Automatic Captcha" should be disabled.

Thanks

Retimer Question

First time posting here and hope I am posting to the right spot.

I am pretty new to RealFlow (2012), in general, but wanted to do something a bit more advanced. Currently, I am working on a project that involves a water splash and a double helix growing out of it. I already have the splash simulation done and the double helix as two different files and was going to combine them using a bin loader. Where I am having trouble is retiming the simulation.

Right where the splash reaches it’s peak, I need to slow it down (t/9) and then have it resume at normal speed so I can do some camera movements in maya. So I have been trying to use retimer to basically stretch frames 15-20 to 15-179 and then have it resume to normal speed after.

I just really don’t know how to stretch just part of the simulation successfully and wanted to see if anyone had any pointers. I have tried an if statement, but pretty sure my equation is completely wrong.

if(14<t<21,1,t/9)

Any help is much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
