SteadyMove pro didnt work either….

demo reel intro 08

Just working on a new demo reel intro. I’d like some opinions on it as showing it to my friends only gets a “wow, cooool” response, and no constructive comments, haha.

Here’s what i’m looking for in terms of feedback:
• Flow – Does everything seem like it flows into each other? Every different camera movement seem to smoothly transition into the other?

• Legible – Can you read any of that text in there?

• Length – Too long? Too short? Just perfect?

• Style – Do you think its a little flashy? Lame? Cool?

• Any other critiques you’d like to add are also appreciated

Known issues: At around f163, there seems to be a problem with calculating motion blur and seems to flip out for a frame. I’m working on that.

Thanks, and looking forward to any feedback on this.

Using ZBrush and Apple Shake?

Does anyone know what kind of export from zbrush would be best to bring it into shake and composite it?

For example, I sculpt a building in zbrush and want to place it in a scene with shake. let’s just say the camera is stationary.

.edl files and nuke

Hi people,

I’m a new Nuke user and I would like to know if there is a mean for importing .edl file in it.
I’ve already try the "Import Sequence" in the Read node but I get this error "syntax error in expression "AX + C": variable references require preceding $".

Thanx.
