Lost my roto?
Posted in: Apple ShakeHere is a weird problem I am having;
My .shk project was created on one computer, saved accordingly and brought to a second computer where I reconnected my media and went about my business. When I went back to the first computer, not only did I have to reconnect my media again (not surprising) but I had lost every roto shape. Hold out mattes, garbage masks, the whole lot- gone.
Any hot tips as to why?

Help help help help. All assets in shake projects red! Disconnected! Why? What to do?
Posted in: Apple ShakeI really dont want to manually go and reconnect all my assets, this is a pretty complex shake script.
Heres what happened, I was working on a project all day, the next day, for no reason what so ever, I did no move any elements, etc, or maybe I moved 1 or 2 files from their original location, but I open the project, and all of a sudden all of my asset in nodes are red, saying the file is not in that location! So I go and see whats going on, and the files have not moved, and shake even reads its location to be correct,
for example, mac drive 1: shots/ shot1.mov is exactly in that same spot, yet shake reads it as not being there! I go and manually reconnect it even though I should not have to and shake then finally reads it again,
Is there a way to auto reload all in assets in shake? Or is this a bug that must simply be dealed with? Will this happen again Im afraid? Im using shake 4.1 on a mac pro with dual xeon intel processors and 2 gigs of ram.
Even worse, I tried opening another project, and the same thing happens, all of my shake projects are corrupted! All which reside on different drives too!
FYI all my elements are on different internal drives, such as compositing elements on drive 1, the project on drive 2, other elements on drive 3.
Any help please!?

hey,
I’m a student at an art college and I’m working on my thesis, which in my school, is a visual fx short. In one scene for my thesis I have to make it look as if a tattoo is animating on my live action character who is moving around. the tattoo is really intensive. it needs to wrap around the arms and face of my character so i’m not sure a simple track will cut it.
I’m wondering what is the best way, that looks the most professional, to do this? My background is mostly in After Effects and a bit of PF Track, Sillouette, and Maya. I’m also going to take a Nuke class this coming semester but I’m not sure how far past the basics we’re going to get. If you have any suggestions for how to do this with these programs it will be most appreciated – simply not going to have enough time to learn another program.
Thanks so much!

Hi there all, I would like to ask you vfx experienced artists who are already in the industry for years what is the better and safer option for me to break into the vfx industry: taking a computer science degree or a vfx degree/major like from Savannah College of Art.Design, Academy of Art or Vancouver Film School. The SCAD degree does offer vfx and programming modules as well so its pretty balanced for a vfx education. VFS on the other hand don’t really cover programming probably. A bit background: I am residing in singapore and want to move to US/Canada and effectively work over there for a few years after graduation. Have about 1.5 years of archviz/multimedia/design experience here and a 3-year diploma in multimedia.

Hey there just want to ask you guys since I am thinking of moving to the states or canada to study and effectively work over there…is the salary hourly based or salary based there? Does this mean if u work with a hourly salary for 8 hours and OT for extra 8 hours, do you get the OT salary of 8 hours? If you work on weekends, are you also paid extra for the OT? Or is it all sorts of OT hours put in is not paid but you are just paid by a basic salary package? Thanks. Much appreciated if I can know this.

Shake rendering issue
Posted in: Beginners TalkHey guys,
I had a bit of a random cool effect, but most definitely not what I need for this shot rendering error occur. Basically rendering out a quicktime movie with any of the codecs we use makes all of the green screen elements become living gumball machines (random chromatic pixel noise)

I have never had this issue before, and we primarily use AE in house. This was a rare occasion where an old shake script needed to be brought back to life and updated. The flipbook shows everything exactly how it is supposed to be.
I tried a tiff sequence as well, but the BG was gone and just the green screen elements appeared. Its not a hard comp to remake on the fly, so I am not too worried. I am just curious as to if any of you have come across this issue before and if you found a fix.
cheers
