Softimage Vs. Maya
Posted in: Beginners TalkHey I was on academic superstore all ready to pull the plug and buy maya and found it was pretty much gone from the site :(. They seem to have replaced it with a program called Softimage which seems pretty cool almost like a merger between this Toxik and Combustion just from reading the specs. Wondering if anyone has used this or thinks that this will in fact replace Maya? I could be way off base and this product could have been around for decades, but I’m pretty new to this and am still getting into the swing of things.

Advice for a specific shot.
Posted in: Beginners TalkOk so in this film I’m planning I want to open with a hand held shot following closeup behind the two actors as they walk along this bridge and then as they get to this alcove they look out and the LA skyline is revealed and it’s half destroyed and that’s where I want to put a matte painting.
Is this something do able? How hard do you figure the roto and motion tracking would be for a shot like this? Also how would I go about doing this. I have sort of limited experience with roto and motion tracking but I figured I could freeze on the last frame I want turn that into a matte painting then track the image backwards to the first part where you can see the skyline and roto around the actors. Would that work?

.MTS File problems
Posted in: Beginners TalkI recently bought a Panasonic HDC-TM300. When I tried to look back at the files, I could’nt play any of them properly and I used several programs aswell. When I try to play the clips, the video starts and then glitches, but the sound plays just fine. I used FFDShow but it hasn’t shown much improvement. Can anyone help me out?
