Oh ya that be workin good. Love it

Ok now that is just cool as it can be.

Rob I just did a quick count of all the little training tuts. you have done for people ( I count at least 27) and I think you need to make a disc or something to sell or give out (as you see fit). You have a wonderful way of making things easier and I have learned a lot for ALL your help. Just a thought. and a BIG THANK YOU.

Cool!

Way to go Gene, Congrats to you and Myron!

I have uploaded the same clip 3 times this past month but they do not appear with my other clips or on the site. It has original sound from the video clip with it, could this be the problem for it not showing up? Just wondering why it's not there.

Great job, Love it!

Just found this thread and your models are freekin' awesome. I have tried to get my models like this but not even close, the hair great, been a nightmare for me but still trying. Just an awesome job.

Super Nice, I really like the reflections going on!

That was just learning, got about 7 more seconds to the clip, probably will do some more. My animating is not to good but I learned a lot from this. Thanks for the comment

Rob you always make the best Training videos.

It was the lights. Or at least thats how I got what I needed. I added a second model and was able to get the original music of the clip with it. Thanks Danceing6.mov

Well thanks to all the help and suggestions I figured out that it has to do with the lights. When you open the tracked project there are no lights like the regular Chor. So I had to place all the lights and settings. As I moved them to different locations and settings I was able to get the results better. I still see some distortion on the background but will deal with that later.

Did you bring them ALL into the images folder? You only need to import the first one of the sequence, everything next will be there. In the Chor. the camera New Rotoscope and the imported image should show, select it and all the other frames should be there as well.

This is a video (tga sequence) as rotoscope here are 2 shots one is unrendered the other is rendered, notice the one has transparent ground with a shadow from the rabbit, this is my objective. My settings are as follows: In Object folder: Ground: Options: FPT off FS off CR On CS off RS On SOnly off CO On In the Chor: Ground: Options FPT On FS On CR On CS Off RS On SOnly off CO On Been piddling with it and think I have hit on something, it has to do with the lights......Will post later when I get it figured out. Thanks to you all for the help.

Rob to answer your question, yes. They are regular chors. with a tga. sequence as a rotoscope. 4x4 grid under model, transparent, and still shows shadow. The new project is tracked with PFHoe and opened, has a ground with it. Tried all the settings I could think of and even duplicated them from other projects but still does not become transparent or show the shadows. Then deleted the ground and used a grid primitive and still does not work like the other projects. Rodney I have used these settings, In my last attempt I got close but had different settings in the OBJECTS, model settings...than I did in the chor., settings. Attached is the Embeded prj. file which I hope I did right and you can open and have a look at. Dance_Corrected5_mov.prj

Just got PFHoe and have tracked a clip. It opened fine in A:M and have been trying to get models and (shall I say) a floor into the chor. I finally have the model, but the ground that was created into the project does not respond the way it should. (transparent but will show shadows of the model) I have done other chors. where I put a grid under a model to create shadows, but with this new stuff I am having a hell of a time and wasting way to much time trying to figure it out. I just upgraded to LION on my Mac and am wondering if that could be the problem. I know some of you folks have used PFHoe before and hope you could point me to a tutorial or some other stuff on the importing into A:M. Would appreciate some suggestions.
