After Effects Knob Design Getting Started with Color Glow Customization
-
@Rudra-Ghosh This looks rather dashing! Do you then export a filmstrip in this case? Could you do a Lottie export or is the glow customization getting in the way?

@UrsBollhalder
Yeah. Later I use Sheeteah Sprite Sheet Tools to export FilmStrip from After Effects. If I use 3D package like C4D, Maya, 3DS max or Houdini I use my own created C# Image Stitching program.Could you do a Lottie export
I am not a big fan of Lottie or rather I can say I never tried lottie that extreme.
-
Really, can you export a filmstrip from Houdini?? I don't have it or use it myself... but I've seen some fantastic stuff online made with it!

For image stitching, Waves Factory Stip Generator is my favourite.
Strip Generator | Blog | Wavesfactory
Free app that creates vertical and horizontal strips from a collection of JPG - PNG images.

Just export as image sequence (from C4D, After Effects, 3DS Max, Houdini, Maya...etc. doesn't matter) and open these image sequences inside this tool then stitch :)

https://g200kg.github.io/knobman3d/ the best ;)

You can use Bodymovin to export as Lottie from After fx.

@UrsBollhalder Hmm why not ? If you want to make fancy VFX style Fire or water simulation and if you wanna use it in your plugins interface you can use Houdini or Maya. Process is same -> Same as C4D or blender etc. Only advantage of Houdini is it is procedural and node based.
Yeah @orange is right you can use Waves Factory Strip Generator. It is beautiful. Once I used to develop plugins in SynthEdit ,Code Block C++ and DSP Robotics Flowstone. That time I created my simple Image(Png and Jpg) Stitching program written in C#.

@orange That's what I use as well if I am making my own knobs... Really nice tool... but it has its days and mood swings!
-
@Rudra-Ghosh Sorry for bothering you further... What do you mean by "Only advantage of Houdini is it is procedural and node based"??? I am actually thinking of integrating some smoke, fire, water stuff and that's how I found Houdini... ut I might just wait a moment and see how OpenGL is playing out in HISE. Because that is much more interesting than just filmstrips and their "one-dimensional" behaviour...
-
@lalalandsynth I actually really like lottie. THere's not too much stuff available that is not illustrative but more art-based if that makes sense... For now, I've just done LAF and Lottie (that sounds nice!). Not too much a fan of 3d via filmstrip etc. I don't think that is the future. But more in the direction of OpenGL... or just stay with paint routines, LAF and occasional simple Lottie!

@UrsBollhalder Houdini is node based . All (Modelling to texturing, lighting) procedural approach that you will not find in any other piece of software. And you can do VFX kind of things real easy in Houdini.
