Hi, no reason. For the class tutorial we were focusing on MOCHA only, so we didn't add it into this one. We actually cover doing it with adjustment layers in class.

Hi, you can control this in the Windows/Animation Editor/Graph Editor. When you select the camera, the curve that appears in the graph editor represents the motion of the camera. Simply reverse the curve (start high, end low), and you animation will be reversed. Cheers!

@@iguanazo12 Thank you

I figured it out if anyone else has this problem, parent the second locator to the hand ctrl not to the IK

Hi, could you describe the scenario in which you would want to do this? There are several ways of creating control from Null to other things, so it would depend on the scenario.

why do you want to do this with mask tracking. Mask tracking is not used to attach amy object. If you attach your tracking data to a null simply use motion tracking😊

I believe they want to replace footage (like GeoTracker). This would work, but it's not the most streamlined workflow.

Hi, you can definitely use the curve to create a copy. Simply select the curve that has been projected (you know when is it is selected because the Move gizmo turns into the 2D gizmo of projected curves). Once you have selected the projected curve, in Modeling mode, simply go to the Curves menu, and select Duplicate Surface Curves. This will create a 3D curve (non projected), but that is tied to the projected curve by history. As long as you keep history, the duplicate curve will obey the projected curve. I hope this helps!

Hi there, feel free to ask the questions. If I can, I'll be glad to answer. Cheers!

​@@iguanazo12 Awesome man I really appreciate it - So I actually figured out what I was initially going to ask you but I have now run into another issue that maybe you can help me with: Ive drawn half a curve, mirrored it along the Z axis, and am now trying to attach the two halves to make one single curve. I was doing this earlier today with no issues but now for some reason when I use the attach curve tool and try to move the resulting curve around, half of it is basically stuck in place? It should be noted that this is something I dealt with a couple of weeks ago but had seemingly sorted itself out. I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer 👍

@@proboscidean So I tried replicating your issue on my end, by my curves attach normally, and the result behaves as 1 single curve, with nothing staying stuck. Was the original curve attached or parented to something before you duplicated it?

@@iguanazo12 Hey man - sorry for the late response So basically the issue ended up resolving itself. Not sure how haha. I've experienced the same issue a couple of times since then too but it always seems to work itself out eventually. Ill let you know if I ever figure out what im doing to cause it. Anyways, thanks a bunch for your time I really appreciate what you do on here!

Hi, under your light attributes editor, scroll down to the Arnold section, and look for Shadow Density. Watch the video at 9:45

@@iguanazo12 o.k. the error is, first load the spotlight and than the skidome, crazy :/ but it works

That, and make sure to have the spotlight selected to change the shadow density in the Arnold properties of the light in the attributes editor.

Hi Glen, did you make sure to turn your shape into paths? If so, select it, go to the Window drop down menu, and at the bottom of it you should see the links. They come standard with the most recent install of AE.

Hi Erfan, i just tried replicating your issue on my side, and it works just fine. Since what you describe is objects falling at the corner of a room, I suggest creating a poly cube that matches the inside of your room wall and floor and applying the ShadowMatte material to it. This way, any object in the way of lights will project a shadow. Also, make sure to play with the Intensity, Exposure, and Samples of your lights. You might have enough lights in the scene that the shadows become almost invisible.

@@iguanazo12 yes, it was about the lighting, thank you very much for helping

Hi, unfortunately, the Cinema 4D renderer in AE does not allow for light transmission via shadow projection. You would need Ray-traced 3D to be able to extrude and have light transmission. However, you can import a Classic 3D rendered comp (which respects light transmission) into a C4D comp, and you would still see the texture from the Classic 3D content.. The draw back being that you can't extrude the shape in classic 3D. What exactly are you trying to do?

I think I’m having the same problem as the chap above - would you consider making another video of what you explaining as the worm around. I too do not have ray-traced 3d option

Hi, I presume you are asking as to how I got to the 4 viewport layout? If so, simply place your cursor over the viewport and quickly tap the spacebar on your keyboard. You can also click on the button with 4 squares in the left side navigation (4 from the bottom). I hope this helps.

Hi, as you are aware, there are many ways of making the same thing in Maya. This video is part of a course material that I teach where several things are covered at the same time. In this course we are teaching process, not shortcuts. That said, if you have a reference to a different video where you feel the process is better, placing a link to it along with your comment would be great help to other viewers. Cheers

@@iguanazo12 Sorry, I wasn't trying to say anything bad about your method of doing it. By all means, you have done well explaining it. I was just frustrated that in 2022, rigging is still extremely complicated process.

@@Kinkoyaburi hahaha! No worries, and i agree with you.
