Help needed URGENT! Tracking a shot. 1 day left

Posted in: The Pad

Hi,

I’m having a problem. I have 1.5 days left to deliver the shots. From the 10 shots I had to track there is 1 shot I can’t get solved. I hope you guys can help me out with this!

I have to put a word left from the "50" and right from it. I’ve tried to tracking it as a Tripod shot. And tried to do it as a normal shot. I have tracked as much detail on the boards and tracked the trees in the background as far trackers.

Strange enough the far trackers appear in front of the normal trackers. Like it is inverted. I will place a thumbnail here and post the shot here.

Thanks!
Maarten

Companies who specialize in interface designs for movie vfx

Posted in: The Pad

The other day I was watching a reel for a company who seemed to only produce computer interfaces for movies. You know the kind of thing – when Ethan Hunt flips open his laptop and has some futuristic looking OS, rather than just running Windows Vista. When someone sends an email or hacks a mainframe it involves lots of spinning 3D graphics etc.
There was a great shot that I want to show a client as a point of reference, but cant remember who the company was.
So who are the major players who specialize in this area?

Mel Trouble

Posted in: Maya

Hi Guys
I downloaded this zoomerate 1.0 from creativecrash, it opens a seperate window that allows you to move your camera when you are working with an image plane and resets it, my problem is that when I ran the script for the first time it worked, however I forgot to save it and now when I try to run it, I get the error // Error: Object not found: scriptEditorPanel1. //. Im not sure what this means, I am running on Mac OS 10.5 and have maya 2010. here is the link for it:
http://www.creativecrash.com/maya/do…zoomerator-mel
Also I open the script in TextWrangler or TextEdit and then copy it over or just try to open the file itself.
I’m very new to MEL and never done it before. Any help would be great I thought this would be a great add on when working within Maya.

Thanks

“1923 aka Heaven”

Max Hattler just completed two short films with students at The Animation Workshop, an animation school in Viborg, Denmark. The two pieces, 1923 and 1925, will also be featured in a one-person show at Lumen Eclipse starting April 1st. We caught up with Max to find out more about the origins and the process of making these two enigmatic pieces.

Watch “1925 aka Hell” and read the Q&A here.

Unpremultiply vs. Premultiplied Checkbox

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry

Today, I decided to mess around with some new workflows and I stumbled upon this. I’m getting way different results when I use an Unpremultiply than if I check the Premultipled box on the read node. I was under the impression that these both did the same thing. When I premult them back into the comp, I’m getting different edging as well.

Can anyone explain this?
