Hey Flamerz, Can planar data be inverted in order to stabilize a texture so it can be painted on, and retracked back. If I could copy keyframe anims from gmask splines to an extbicubic it would work, I tried the persp grid also, but I had no luck copying the data from one to another. The closet I …

I made a video on how to use Mocha in action for stabilization and regular tracking for Logik Fest 2020! This is hopefully the same as what @cnoellert is referring to! Sorry it’s a whopping 12 minutes long but I wanted to be sure it was easy to follow! The stabilize part is the first half. …

@Jeff , you are the Bob Ross of Flame Artists. I must have missed your LogikFest vid, but thank you for sharing that again. It’s always brutal watching other people work, but, you definitely have a great way of presenting. Also, I haven’t had a chance to say this until now…you are an excellent wri…

Very kind words! Thanks Randy!!

Usually everything goes smoothly, b…

yes markey I used to do this all the time. usually would do the planar track in tracer. copy the axis node into action and invert the keyframe anim in action.

Hey Andy, Do you possible have a copy of the full article on hand?

No. I wrote the thing on the clock while i was at the Mill, so chances are they “own” that text in some way. I don’t know if they still have it up. Almost all of my friends have left. If my life calms down some (i’m fine, just busy in too many directions) I’ll write up a new one. Sort of like w…
