I have a question about this great plugin that I purchased.

Is it possible to copy and export the patterns used in a project (and insert them in a specific folder) before archiving it?

this to prevent the following (future) reopening of the project missing the patterns used (if no longer present on the computer).

It would be nice if there was a way to do this automatically: that the plugin save in a specific folder (together with the resources of the project) only the patterns actually used.

Hello Filippo, first thank you for supporting our Work. 

Regarding your question. In this version it is not automatically possible to archive the maps used in a project by saving it. All Maps are stored in your local root Folder or in the linked network devices (Pattoon Settings Panel). All Maps stay there until you manually delete them. If you don’t delete maps (may of Disc space issues etc.) they will stay always there. But this could be a very handy feature to have in the next Version. Thank you for this feedback. If there is a Button like “MAKE PAKAGE” it could be build a Bundle like in InDesign do share and archive. That’s what you need right? 

At the Moment you can of course put all needed Maps into one folder and save them manually to the Project in case you need that. This could be also useful if you work with partners to share the same Folder. As is mentioned bevor, I’m sorry that this has to be done manually at the Moment. 

We will keep your thoughts for the further development of Pattoon, because it’s a very handy idea from You.

Hope that is ok for you so far

Yes that’s right it applies the Texture to each layer. but you can mix the Textures with other instances of pattoon. 

So one layer with 3 shapes means that all shapes have the same texture. :-) You cant access the single shapes BUT

if you work with masks, you have access to the single masks on one layer. so there can be for example on layer with 5 masks on it, each mask can have their own texture. But this works not on shapes in this Version of Pattoon.

Hope that helps you so far

Hello Rob,

seems like it was a problem with the Downloadserver. We fixed the issue. You have a Mail regarding this Problem. Thanks for supporting Pattoon. If you have any further questions pleas leave a comment or give us a Mail. 

Cheers Oliver

Hi Mohsen,

first thank you for the comment.

We had a view requests regarding Exporting Textures to the Project, so this will be a thing to bring with the next update of Pattoon. The Baking Feature (like in 3D Apps) is a little tricky. Means if you have a Particular effect installed and the Partner doesn’t have the Plugin it wont work. So at the Moment it’s the same to Pattoon. We believe that Pattoon is a very good Plugin specially with its connections to Adobe Capture App and PS-Patterns so we definitely think over Export features to share Projects in the Future.

Thanks for supporting us

Cheers

Thanks for your quick reply Oliver.
So, what's the solution right now? I want to send the project file to my client tomorrow and I wanna know that, if I buy and use Pattoon for texturing, what will happen when my client open the projects file, considering he doesn't have the plugin?
Does he loose the texture and patterns? What's the possible quick solution we can use right now?

Hi Mohsen,

if you like to give the "open Files" to the Client, he must have Pattoon installed. He can use The Trial version if you send him the used Maps to the Project. Important that he save them in the same Folder as you do on your machine. sharing between Mac and Windows should make no difference.

In this case he can see the result but has the Red line limitation from the Trial version. So the Client can se the Work but not final render it:

Using that without Pattoon is not possible. Again thanks for the request

Hello,

It looks like a great plugin

PATTOON vs Ray Dynamic Texture... What's the best?

What' the differencies?

Thanks

Rox

Hi Rox,

 

first I’m not so familiar with Ray Texture but as I see on the first look these are the differences:

 

Pattoon is not a script it is a native Plugin

Pattoon makes it possible to use Photoshop Pattern direct in Aftereffects

Pattoon has a direct integration of Adobe Cloud Capture Patterns (App for your mobile device is connected to Aftereffects automatically with Pattoon)

Pattoon has a Customizable intern Texture Library that stays always with Pattoon. You can import own JPG/PNG Files and store them there

Pattoon can connect permanent up to 4 Network Map recourses (may you are a studio with central Maps on a Server)

Pattoon works on Shapes, Text, Solids, Masks, Comps, PreComps, and MovieClips

Pattoon works as Texture "Container" for Movies, Comps, and any Layers and effects to use as Texture. This is a very handy Tool for many daily things like transitions etc.

Pattoon comes in full version with over 200 Assets (Textures and Graphics)

 

What is the better choice? This is hard to say, it depends on your needs and we are not the Ray Texture pros. So its hard to give a meaning to that. May you like to try the Trail version and have a look what fits best to your needs.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Hopefully this helps you a bit regarding your question.

 

Cheers

Oliver

Hi there. I'm really happy with purchasing Pattoon and I've already used it in my latest project

which you can check here: https://vimeo.com/358509297

I'm not here to shamelesly "plugin" my work, but I thought you wanted to see your greatplugin in action.

I love that you can build your library with Pattoon and that it removes a lot of clutter when dealing with many layers. My questions is this:

Is there a way to parent the effect to a specific layer? Now here's what I mean: yes I can apply pattoon to any layer I want and I can hit "lock pattern" so the pattern moves with the layer if I animate it, but if the layer is parented to a null that drives the animation pattoon does not stay locked in. What I have to do is preocmp the layer with pattoon and then parent it for animation. But is there a way to do this without having to precomp? 

Hi Bogdan,
