| I've used Puppet Tool all of four times since it was released. I currently have a situation that I believe that Puppet Tool might help me on, but I fear I may be asking well beyond it capabilities. 1) Can the initial position get set any other way than by clicking via a mouse? Can it be set period for that matter? I found this article from 2009, but didn't know if much has changed since then. http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/969025 2) What is the max amount of pins allowed per mesh or is there a cap? For context, I am dealing with a tracking issue in another software that is starting to force my hands into a 2D solution. I need deformation to happen cleanly and smoothly. I've attached 2D track data to Puppet pins in the past, but not to this extent or precision. We're talking between 90 - 150 pins. Ideally I would apply a pin at the precise x and y coordinate of the tracker's first frame (via scripting I was hoping), then the pin would animate via those applied track keyframes. Applying pins via scripting doesn't seem doable yet in AE unless I missed something. I'm open to ideas if anyone has some. -- David Torno Visual Effects Artist and Supervisor http://www.ghosttownmedia.com david@ghosttownmedia.com O: 213.739.2290 C: 818.391.6060 ------------------------------------------------ http://www.sydefxink.com (main portfolio) http://aeioweyou.blogspot.com (vfx tutorials and AE scripts blog) http://mactex.blogspot.com (free textures blog) -- David Torno Visual Effects Artist and Supervisor http://www.ghosttownmedia.com david@ghosttownmedia.com O: 213.739.2290 C: 818.391.6060 ------------------------------------------------ http://www.sydefxink.com (main portfolio) http://aeioweyou.blogspot.com (vfx tutorials and AE scripts blog) http://mactex.blogspot.com (free textures blog) |
