Nice, thanks for the upgrade pricing! I bought Lockdown 2 a while back and have never fully had time to get into it. This is an instant upgrade having just gotten my Maxon One subscription going. :)
A few updates down the line (especially with advancements in AI), I could see this turning into a post hoc photogrammetry tool. Getting entire 3D models from 2D footage.
Hi Chris, fantastic update as always. One question though, will there be another upgrade tier for people who bought Lockdown before Feb 2023 BUT have also purchased paint link and composite brush? Thanks!
At this moment, we aren't planning to. There wasn't as much interest in Lockdown from the Fusion/Resolve crowd as you might think. But if we see growing interest, we'd consider it.
@@rokah1391 To be honest, not very much. We did add a new tracking algorithm, however that's still in beta. It's nice to be able to export nulls directly to Ae though! There were a few minor improvements to the 2D workflow, but they're mostly performance and speed improvements. Sorry if that is disappointing to 2D animators out there, but this tool was definitely fully focused on 3D this time around.
Man I'm sorry to say these were all done back in 2019, before Ai really got to that level. So all of these style transfers were brute force tracking! Id go to a frame, paint it, track it, when it starts to break down after a dozen tracked frames, paint that frame and make a new track with it with a new mesh. I think the fastest way in 2023 would be to use some fully automated AI style transfer WITHOUT Lockdown. Then assess the distortions and inaccuracies (because they'll be there!) Then use Lockdown to very specifically fix the bad areas. You would probably only have to use lockdown for characters faces, which humans are super sensitive to the details of. Most background stuff you probably would barely need to touch
Hi!! Anyone knows how to import Mocha mesh data for Lockdown 2.8.7? It doesn’t have the update of import Mocha/Face tracker directly yet and I scrambled all over trying to find out how to do that. I have exported abc file and tapped alembic under Lockdown pop out panel but it says not supported ://
Came here to ask about potential Blender support like half of the commenters, and I'm happy to see it's already supported! Would have been nice to mention in the video though ;)
Amazing! Hows the workflow for Maya or Houdini with ABC? Looks like great integration with C4D and exporting back to After Effects with Cineware. Would the workflow be the same with an ABC coming from maya with textures?
The alembic contains a camera, the animated mesh, the user created transforms, and a background plane. To use it in Maya (or any application with alembic) you have to manually create the material and apply an image sequence to it. You also have to set the material to project through the work camera onto the mesh. So there are a few extra steps, but it should all be possible.
Do you have a software license for teachers or a monthly subscription option? Not everyone can afford that price, honestly couldn't even afford photoshop since version 3 until they started to do a subscription service.
Ooe that looks nice! Paintlink is going to be cool!
Exporting to Blender would be awesome for our workflow!

As always, fantastic work Chris. Super curious to experiment v3 in my face comps. 👏🏻
Any blender export :D
Awesome! Is it possible to make blender export?
I am very happy that you can link nulls to the tracks now
I would Love te see a Blender export option!
Hey everyone demanding blender compatibility, if you clicked the link you'd see it's compatible with Blender 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, 3.0

PLEASE please PLEASE add a Blender export! This looks awesome!
Yeeeeessss!
this would be huge! 🙏🙏
Pleaseeee!!
But if you think about it, since you have access to depth alphas generated, if you can export that, you can easily use it as displacement in blender
YESSS PLEASEEEEEE!!!!!
Well done guys, It looks amazing
blender when?
Hi Chris, fantastic update as always. One question though, will there be another upgrade tier for people who bought Lockdown before Feb 2023 BUT have also purchased paint link and composite brush? Thanks!
How do you add a new layer? All I can see is Layer 1
Very cool. Would be helpful to be able to export to Blender, not just C4D. Thank you
This is beyond incredible!!!!!!
Awesome! Is this coming for Resolve?
At this moment, we aren't planning to. There wasn't as much interest in Lockdown from the Fusion/Resolve crowd as you might think. But if we see growing interest, we'd consider it.
Looks amazing congratulations! I don't see a v2.0 to v3.0 upgrade price on AEscripts. WIll this be added at some stage for existing customers?
It will be added, it may take a few hours as we roll everything out!
Actually, you may have to log in before it shows as visible to you.
@@ChrisVranos what does it change for people that only use lockdown in 2D i mean in after effect?

Can’t wait to try this ! Huge lockdown fan
Any tutorials or resources explaining how to get really good style transfer results like the ones shown here?

what about us blender users?
Fucking stunned, yall

Love the C4D integration
Chris you ve done it again! This is incredible !!!!
Dude. This is incredible. When is Adobe going to buy you out and make you a billionaire LOL
Hello please could you explain or send a link that explains the 3 difference licenses for lock down 3 and the perks with them. I haven't found them.
Came here to ask about potential Blender support like half of the commenters, and I'm happy to see it's already supported!
Would have been nice to mention in the video though ;)
We need this for Nuke! PLEASE!!!
Waiting for a straight export to blender)
Holy shit, incredible! Will this be available for fusion?
y only c4D ... make is common for all 3D tools?
this really needs to be a nuke plugin
absolutely fudging incredible.
Any reason why my Lockdown would not track at all? Any version of lockdown just isn't working on my PC atm. Would appreciate the assist. Thanks!
Please send in a help ticket with a description, collected project, or screen capture!

@@ChrisVranos Also with Blender, I suppose?
hell yeah

There is a 50% educational discount: aescripts.com/knowledgebase/index/view/faq/educational-discounts/
F***. Yes. 🤘🤘🤘
Mocha Pro RIP? XD
This is incredible! Thanks for sharing!
Would it work well with element3d?
I haven't tried it yet, but because it exports to null objects, I'm sure it would! You can give it a shot with the free trial.
@@ChrisVranos thanks, I think I'll give that a shot
how to track camera using it
sheeeeeeeeeeeeesh
wow !!!
超酷的～👍
and the price is more then full studio verson of da vinci resolve or year subscription of adobe. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
you jusst dont know
@@Babiii-g8n same to you 😁
