Hi Jason, You may be seeing this if you are using a font that has the display font installed, but not the printer font. If this is the case, you will see it in the font list, but have the error message when you try to use the font. Also, ProAnimator supports True Type and Postscript fonts, so those are the fonts that you will see in the font list. If there are fonts that you need to use, you can enter them through Photoshop or Illustrator. In...

ProAnimator Merge Scene Error
Published (2009-11-05 14:52:00)
Update to this problem... I've had success exporting my scenes as Maya .obj models. I tried exporting .zxo models but those didn't provide a stable import. This method isn't super ideal because it involves reanimating any pose actions BUT it is stable and a sufficient workaround for me at this time. I'd still be interested to hear any developments in the "merge scene" error.

You were spot on with that fix... I should have tried a little harder problem solving, sorry... It's just still so foreign to me. I don't know all the little ins and outs you learn over time. So of course I was losing my mind. Thank you very much for the help. I will def be sending you a glintwerks log. I'm sure it's something I've done. :) Thank you again. Hello Hurricane Nov 10th

I am running After Effects CS3 on a 2.93 GHX Quad Core Intel Xeon Mac. I am operating MAC OSX 10.5.8. I tried to move the ProAnimator folder from the install CD to the After Effects> Plugins folder, but even after restarting my system, was not able to see anything Zaxwerks listed in After Effects (in Presets / Effects). I am able to see the program as a standalone, when I move the folder to the Applications folder, but am unable to use my...

I'd recommend "Zaxwerks Invigorator Training" by Serge Hamad which you can get from the Creative Cow. I believe the price has come down some recently. Serge has incredibly detailed description of the use of the plug-in and a very valuable part on how to use Illustrator with Invigorator. (Of course, you have to know a little about Illustrator which I got from Lynda.com). John Rich JOHNR

Hi Terry, It's possible that you are trying to use the Open Type Fonts on your computer. 3D Invigorator Pro supports Post Script and True Type fonts, so if you are trying to use the Open Type Fonts, you may see that error message. In addition, if you have the display fonts installed, but not the print fonts, you may also see that error message when using the font. If you have True ...

Hi Christina, I am using ProAnimator version 4.5.1, and it seems like the merge scene command is working fine in that version. If you have example scenes where this is happening in version 4.5.1, you can send them to ed@zaxwerks.com and I can take a look into what is causing the issue for you. If you are not using ProAnimator version 4.5.1, please download it from our download page ...

Hi Paul, From your descriptions, it sounds like you are having an issue where ProAnimator is conflicting with the undocked panels within After Effects. When you have undocked panels within After Effects, it will cause flickering effects and not have the interface load up properly in After Effects. To fix this, go to the "Workspace" menu, and select the "Effects" workspace. Then, with...

Hi Jen, Make sure that you are installing ProAnimator version 4.5.1 for After Effects CS3. If you are using an older version of ProAnimator such as version 4.0.0, it is not compatible with After Effects CS3. You can still use your ProAnimator 4.0.0 authorization code for ProAnimator version 4.5.1. To download the newest version, please visit our download page below: http://www....

Hi Marshall, If you are new to the plug-ins, you can try to follow along with the free video tutorials first. It will give you the foundation on how to use the programs. If you are looking into the training DVDs, you can start with "Making It Look Great 1" (I am assuming you are using ProAnimator). Making It Look Great 1 will show you the techniques to creating your 3D Text, and creating...

Hi Donovan, I could think of one way in ProAnimator that will help you map the logo onto the golf ball. To do this, create another sphere that is the same size as your golf ball (or it can be slightly bigger). Then, apply a texture map with your logo onto the sphere. Next, apply a transparency map of your logo (black and white image) onto the sphere, and it will mask out the sphere, and ...

John, You are welcome! Some improvement is needed in your animation though. The puzzle pieces shouldn't intersect with each other when the animation comes to an end and some (orange) edges are still to be seen at the end of it. If you get stuck, feel free to post any questions. Salut, Serge Invigorator/Proanimator Training: http://library.creativecow.net/articles/hamad_...
