What is the reason for pre-composing the projection?

Taron Poghosyan

Hi Tom

You will find a detailed answer to your question in this video tutorial.  Understanding and practicing Projection 3D

tom kam

For my project, I don't need to create an object separate from the background, I have just an empty corridor still image that I need to animate to match a live action plate. When I set a keyframe on the Anim Camera, any changes to the anim camera - whether using the obit camera tool, or entered directly into the PoI or Position - are not reflected. Basically, adding a single keyframe freezes the camera. Im NOT saying AE freezes, I'm saying keyframes prevent the scene from animating as you show in your videos. Also, Moving from frame :00 to frame :01 makes the right - or sometimes the right & left image of the projection disappear. The LEFT and RIGHT solids are still in the Projection Scene Comp, but the image projected on them is gone.

Hi, in your youtube video of the red sports car. I was wondering if you could import the paths in from illustrator or photoshop?. If Yes. Would this path automatically snap to the 3d envioroment in Ae so placing over the side of car would be easy..

Hi Tom 

Please open support ticket for a detailed study of your problem

Awesome looking plugin, think I'll be giving this a try!

Any idea what the music used at the start of your teaser video is? Wouldn't mind using that for a reel and can't find it anywhere.

Thanks!

Need a tutorial on using a face or a human figure....

christine wieczorek

after setting up the projection I tried linking the anim camera to a tracked camera. The projection gets screwed up. I tried inserting a null to create an offset. No luck. Is there a tutorial for using projection with a camera track?

Taron Poghosyan

Hi Christine 

Yes, there is, follow this link

christine wieczorek

Great! Thanks Taron!

What do you do about the bluriness? Shadow map is set to 4000. Use larger precomps?

Taron Poghosyan

Hi Christine

Yes, use larger comps. And also you can create adjustment layer on the top of all projection scenes and add sharpen effect.

Cheers

Hi, how do I export the camera animation to Cinema 4D? In the product description it features camera export for MAX, Blender, Maja and C4D. However, in the plugin's camera export dialogue there is no C4D listed. (Plugin Version 2)

Taron Poghosyan

Hi Andreas

This function works by default with After Effects CC 2015 and above.
You can export your camera without "Projection 3D". If you want to know more please visit their official website.

Is there any way to generate depth map from generated 3d scene ?

Taron Poghosyan

Hi fas fasd

No, it's  Impossible, but you can export your scene, open it in a 3D software and get a depth map there.

When i try to import obj file, I get a message: .OBJ file size too large. File size is 270 kb. It's the same with other obj files.

Hi Taron,

Following the Projection 3d v2 Tutorial - @6:25 when I try to extrude the mask of the car I get "Error at line 59". I've tried this several times, am following the tutorial exactly. Even rebooted AE but still same error message.

bob vila

Hi there

Love the plugin

is it possible to project a transparent PNG as a plane? I'm having an issue where a precomped layer with alpha, won't projection map without getting white around it. I realize this is due to the nature of projection mapping with a light, but is it possible to retain the alpha of the precomp layer and not have to mask the actual plane?

The reason is because we receive cutout assets from a Photoshop artist. And it breaks our process if we have to mask all the planes in AE.

Thanks!

Delshad Kurdistani

hi dear

one question:

is it possible to create mash in 3D software and import inside Projection 3D and use it for projection ?

like this you have done :

https://aescripts.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/e/x/export_camera_1.png

i watch the tutorials and read all , but couldn't find the answer ,

Thanks!

Taron Poghosyan

Hi ali rashti,

Yes, it is possible, but you can only import low poly models, the number of polygons should not exceed 1500. You must also have a camera to place the created surface in the right place.  A tutorial is in the Old tutorials section, called Importing and working with obj files  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1hzOtgG6R4&feature=emb_title

thansk a lot sir Taron

if you have time and it is possible, please create a simple scene from a image and import into projection 3d like this for example.

https://aescripts.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/e/x/export_camera_1.png

to create simple low poly inside 3D software and import it, it should be like camera mapping or  ..... ?

if you make a simple tutorial and have background image and explain it should be best.

many thanks for your answer

Taron Poghosyan

Hi bob vila,

Unfortunately, you cannot use an image with an alpha channel as a projection image.  In after effects, the image is projected on a white solid, therefore where the projector does not see the image, that is, where the alpha, the solid remains white. But if you need a transparent image as a plane and not as a 3D surface, then why project it? You can simply import it as an image from Projection 3D main menu. The path is: File/import image,footage.

Hi Taron

thanks for : Projection 3D Tutorial Importing and working with OBJ files

this tutorial is done inside 3D max which many user don't have or don't have enough knowledge how it works.

if you have time and want , please do same inside Cinema 4D !

it could help so much, because C4D is with After effects and many people have access to it,

Thank you sir 

Tomas E.

Ola Taron!

I have some doubts about projection 3D, What I would like to do:

1 - I have a filmed background scene

2 - I already have this scene 3d tracked and loaded inside AE.

3 - I already have my 3D animation rendered and composed in the scene

4 - I would like to add a layer of "snow" in the foreground, over everything, since the Camera does a 3d Pan, like 90º, I would like to project a long and wide comp on a cylinder (from inside of the cylinder, Camera looking from the inside curve), so, in theory when the 3d tracked camera rotate, I will see correctly the snow falling but sticked in the background.

I can do it in 3d for sure, but I was wondering and curious if it is possible to do fast with Projection 3D tool.

Thanks

Tom

Note: I watched your "How to integrate a green screen actor into a virtual 3D room in After Effects", but its not exactly what Im looking for.

is it possible to export OBJs with their projected textures(& mtl)
if so,, how?

weird core

how do you export the camera to c4d?

as when i use export camera feature, it only shows 3ds, blender & maya options,, no option for c4d

i tried the usual AE's"maxon c4d exporter" which exports the camera etc, but it doesnt seem to match up with the OBJ exported by this plugin,, is there a certain method to it?

Taron Poghosyan

Hi weird core

To export a camera to cinema 4D go to After effects main menu, press File/Export and choose Maxon cinema 4D exporter, then save as C4D file format. Then open file in Cinema 4D. See this tutorial

Just purchased and installed this for AE17. Message from my artist "Unfortunately, upon further testing it has become apparent that the script is not working correctly.  The "create projection" button is not bringing up a dialogue asking for how many pre comps to create.  As a result the entire plugin stalls at this point and never proceeds to make a projection map pre comp." 

Any ideas?

Taron Poghosyan

Hi John

I think you just forgot to press the 'Pre-Compose' button
(Please note when you press 'Create Projection' on the screen nothing should happen)
if this is not the case, please open support ticket and I will help you

Hi,

I just downloaded and installed the trial version to see if it's a good use for me, and I have a big probleme.

When I create solid using the helper grid, the result is completely blurry and I can't do anything. I tried everything with no results. What should I do ?

Delshad Kurdistani

Hi sir Taron

I created the Scene,

what do you think ? please check it, is it something wrong ?

thank you dear

the image I found on the Net,

https://bit.ly/2vVPioq

Taron Poghosyan

Hi Louis-Sebastien Hamelin

To sharpen the scene, increase "Shadow map resolution" to 4000. Right click in the composition window/Composition settings/Advanced/Options, then change Comp size to 4000 and click ok.

Hi Delshad Kurdistani

Not bad, but very slowly I had to increase the speed to see the movement,

practice more and spend a lot of time on small details.
Good start

Is it possible to move the 3d objects that you've projected onto around in the scene, or is this just for animated camera moves?

I've got a scene from a birdseye view with a car. I'd like to have the car drive through the scene, and not just be static. Is this possible with this plugin? 

Taron Poghosyan

Hi Cameron

No, it’s impossible now, but in the next version it will be, I’m already working on it.

Hi i have a question, i ve 3d tracked a camera movement from a greenscreen movie plate, and want to used projection 3d to map a 3d matte painting behind. Can i copy a camera data from the track to the camera inside the Projection 3d comp ? I ve tried many things but it doesn't seem to work. Thanks _

Hi Jeremie

Yes, of course you can.
Here is a link to a tutorial, just remember that the modeling is done by the old method.

Hi Taron,

I'm using the trial for now (seeing if it works before buying) After I create a projection, then Pre-Compose, on the helper grid, no matter how man times I press the OK button to create solids using helper grid properties, it won't create a solid. I have back, left, bottom checked. Any ideas?
