hi,
well basically just reverse src & target in the syntax – project/library you want to write to must exist beforehand.

hi,

source nodes definitely work – i guess since 2009 –
biggest issue beeing screen update problems, most likely a lot of frame fwd/back

hi,

actually target cam in action is easier to handle – you dont have to try lookat expressions on the camera, which is giving strange results …
just have the projector rotation lookat the cameras target & link the projector position to the cameras & you should be fine.
another nice way is using the 3d-path with its lookat operator – this even works with a free camera.

hi,
depending on what you would like to know .. ?
you need a lot of tracking points (obviously ;-)) – min 8 trackers on 2 “keyframes” in the shot – min 6 trackers continuously in all frames – not necessarily the same 6
the tracked points should be distributed in space to define enough depth & perspective overlaps. – selecting all points in or close to a common plane will not work, even if the shot does look “nice” & 3D
still it is quite helpful, if some trackers are in sort of a “rectangular” relation to each other, as this helps in defining the orientation of the xyz axes & the later positioning of the objects.

hth –

hi,
DPX shoudlnt make a difference wether from scans or red – make sure, that TC (and reel/roll) are correct in the header.
as your softimport is linking ok – as i understand – there is no reason, why hard import shouldnt do.
the difference is, that in hard import you can apply a resize (res/aspect & depth) and the metadata are beeing written according to your selection – this might also be an issue in your case – make sure, that Tape and TC in import image are set to “file header timecode” correcct framerate etc – when softimporting, these settings dont apply, so this might be your issue
good luck

3d modelling in flame ? i think he meant u can import 3d models [3ds/dxf/fbx etc etc ]

.. and modify – to some extent – i probably wouldnt start to create a character animation, but with deform and with extended bicubics you can do a lot.

robert

hard to say – maybe you have resize active, which is ignored by softimport?
i guess – lse you have the same settings – like TC from header etc …

hi,

in batch paint you dont paint matt on “matte in” (F3), but on “matte out” (2x F4) –
i had to get used to it –
also, if you are painting F+M, matte painting color will always be white – you dont have the adjustment for intensity independent from front color as in desktop paint.

hi,
in 2009 you can select “Tape from Directory” in import image & enter the amount of levels you want to be considered – so it should be exactly, what youre looking for.

i have been reporting this a couple of times –
the issue is, that the top & right pixel row isnt rendered in some resolutions/aspect ratios (e.g.PAL) – it is visible during interactive work, but preview/render forgets it – only chance to crop top & right

change cursor to ADD & press ctrl – so you can repo the ref box …
if you already have a ref keyframe on that frame stay in move mode & ctrl position the box

should also work in 2008

hi
seems to be still that way: max is 8k x 8k @12bit, so at 8 bit you can also import larger plates ….
however, paint seems to have its own specific limitation related to available ram.
