That is very funny! Nice work. From: After Effects Mail List [mailto:AE-List@media-motion.tv]
On Behalf Of Rachel Max Hey - I just did something similar using Newton: It’s around 0:40 but the whole video is worth a watch. (April fools thing) I couldn’t figure out how to animate 3 separate objects at different points in time and had only a few hours - no time to read manuals or ask questions so I might have done this the wrong way, but basically I animated each of the 3 chairs
individually and then married the keyframes in a main comp. The result wasn’t perfect (time) but was certainly better than trying to hand-keyframe. Cheers, Rachel On May 14, 2014, at 3:12 PM, adam mercado <adam@influxx.com> wrote:
Excellent stuff Teddy. Just watched the quick start video and the Kinekatics setting looks great. Animated the boxes to the end of the belt and then let Newton take over. I'm sure i'll bug you about something or other. Cheers !!! Adam Mercado Influxx Media Production Fullerton, CA Moving Images. For Business 714°928°9896

yes, definitely. But maybe try it with the demo first before you purchase. But it is extremely intuitive (despite a few small quirks). An hour's worth of tuts and maybe 20 minutes of setup and this would be done. Not to mention a tax write
off. And a crazy fun sandbox toy... As for the robot - even that could be completely managed by newton physics - as newton 2.0 has a pretty rad magnetics engine, and very robust constraint, pulley and joints systems. They also have excellent support and tutorials. And I'm
always happy to answer questions. -TG On Wed, May 14, 2014 at 4:49 PM, adam mercado <adam@influxx.com> wrote: I need to create a 25 second animation of a conveyor belt with objects being carried along and falling off the end and pilling up on the floor. At first thought it sounds like a job for Newton. It would be easy enough to hand animate the
movement along the belt, but getting realistic - or more correctly believable and attractive - motion as the objects pile up would be very time consuming. My question is, for someone who has zero experience with Newton, would the time spent to download, install, learn and produce something be a wash against just doing it by hand once all is said and done. I would need to control certain aspects,
as the occasional object is picked up by an operator and place into a box, therefore would not be managed by Newtons physics. Any ideas if this is a path I want to go down. I have to complete this tonight. cheers Adam Mercado Influxx Media Production Fullerton, CA Moving Images. For Business 714°928°9896
