Next video for what exactly?

magic. glad it helped.

It's useful as a quick solution to get camera data and animation data between both maya and AE. There are other methods now. I'm planning on overhauling alot of content soonish.

@@the3rdplace I think you still need to export a track from a camera tracker, so the only benefit here is that you don't need to export plates for a Maya backplate? But you've already done that if you use a different camera tracker. Seems like that saves about 40 seconds. You still have to render from Maya, so you're going to import frames in the end anyway. ??? I think they added this feature because they could finally link viewports to live sessions, not because it was useful.

See above comment. It's useful as a quick solution to get camera null, and lighting info from AE to maya and back again. Generally speaking I tend to use other tracking tools to integrate live action and cg. I'd recommend you explore those and find your own journey as you seem to know it all.

Glad I was able to help... these videos are long long overdue of an update. I will try to post more content soon

I tend to only reply to positive or useful comments. Dont mind helping where i can. Some people have nothing better to do. Tragically. Happy new year :)

@@the3rdplace Happy New Year! :)

Make sure your frames start filename_0.extension it should work

Sure why not... whats happening?

@@the3rdplace Send me a test mail at navjotsingh0412@gmail.com. I will send you my character.

Ill sort the link. Just been very busy lately

@@the3rdplace id be grateful! Thanks!!

@@the3rdplace where is the link? I can not find it either...

exchange.adobe.com/creativecloud.details.17593.autodesk-maya-live-link.html hope this helps. :-) sorry for the delay.

@@the3rdplacethat link is not working. I spent 2h with the adobe support. No success...

Ah my bad. Ill try to sort that

@@the3rdplace can you please again provide the extension? I need it urgently for a project

For 3d tracking pftrack or synth eyes. Cheers chris

Buy?? Crack versions are available... You should get that one

th-cam.com/video/4oOfc0S11Ic/w-d-xo.html hopefully this is the link your requesting. I do go ove the mac setup... windows will be similar. Any problems let me know. Cheers Chris

Not sure what you mean... could you post a video and a link? Cheers chris

@@the3rdplace The channel box of the joint is not been modified at all by animations, this is because is constrained to a locator and the locator has all the animations but this (the locator) does not affect joins, I need specify joins transformations being modified so the can be baked and work in a game enviroment. do you know how to do it?? maybe some option in the bake section?

@@jagotato try selecting root of skeleton. Goto select -> heirarchy -> bake keys. If that fails. Id need to see it really to be able to identify the issue. Hope that helps Chris

@@the3rdplace There is no such thing as a "Bake Keys" command, genius. By the way there's also no "Bake Animation", what's wrong with you people?

@@martinwettig edit -> keys -> bake simulation. Its under keys.. ie keyframes so therefore. Yes 👍

Describe better for me please

Here the same!

maya

sure what's the error message? maybe attach a screen capture? or copy and paste any errors from the script editor? could be useful to determine issues. cheers Chris

@@the3rdplace hi i dont know how attach a file on here. You have email?

copy and paste the error see what i can decipher :)

@@the3rdplace the error msg: error: unsupported operation on mesh vertices. Warning: contraints export failed , warning: Unsupported contraints export failed.

@@giftedmortals1809 okay... so my guess is that you haven't baked out the keyframes of the skeleton... so if you could select the root of the skeleton (top node) and go to edit -> keys -> bake simulation then you'll be given options change it from selected to below and make sure all keyable is on... I'm guessing its just not baked the animation. and your trying to export a rig with various constraints... fix won't support constraints.

Solids should effectively go back and forth between maya and afx as a plane equally proportioned to the scale/size of the plane.. happy to take a gander. Thanks chris

I have successfully synced AE with Maya and now I'm struggling with the rotation/coordinates thing. But it looks promising. Is there a solid way to change the angles before connecting, or should I just mess and try random values? if the planes are not perfectly perpendicular to the original Maya XYZ, I will suffer importing objects from my target Maya animated objects...

Hopefully it helped :) there are nice ways to get camera data out of after effects to maya by using maya dynamic link I've a tutorial on that and it gives way more flexibility to go back and forth between both pieces of software. Many thanks chris :)

sure no probs. I'm hoping that when I get some time over the holidays i can :) thanks for your feedback. :D

which versions of maya and after effects are you using? im using maya 2019 and after effects cc 2018. (randomly it could be maya 2018 causing the issue)... if that's the case there may be a service pack for 2018 available to fix any issues? worth a try. Try those.. hopefully will help. if not get back in touch and maybe send the files over and i can take a closer look. cheers Chris

Hi there using live link you can only reliably export camera nulls lights planes. Planes would export to after effects well. But geometry not so much.

Thank you sir. Much appreciated
