Motion 3 Tutorial: 3D Diamond Sphere

[joeymediauk]

Had to reinstall motion disc 1, got it back though - pfft, this software is so tempromental sometimes...

[joeymediauk]

I made the basic blur sphere yesteray, came back today 'this file could not be found'

How has it deleted itself?!?! How do I get this file back?

[joeymediauk]

Right, figured out how to keep the size constant - it was due to the speed being too high, but I kinda fucked up up the camera movement, couldn't put the background in without it rotating on the axis too :/

Its different from what you did, but the sphere itself looks the same, and it kind of comes toward the screen, then further away, so it looks kinda cool

[joeymediauk]

I tried to create this. Almost perfect, except that when I play it, the sphere expands - how to I keep its size constant?

[TLPagut]

i dont like how you zoomed in on the mouse it was distracting but good vid

I just got this software and have been watching your tutorials and this is the first one I decided to try. But for some reason when I get to 1:54 my ball looks the same but my rays are getting cut off by the borders. I tried increasing the size of my group and emitter but it just enlarges everything but the cut off is still there. Please help :)

[thecreativewebshow]

you are so creative. honestly, these tutorials are awesome!

[JSTERNproductions]

What is the canvas size he uses?

When I try to recreate these objects, mine appears to be too big for the canvas and goes offscreen

I like your tutorials, but, in this case the sphere distroys in final instants... Why?

I dont have control.

[GeneralChurch]

Great tut man, i just started playing with this over in our broadcasting department on the G5's we have and was like WOW so i went out and bought it since i am always making videos, this would be great to escape the bland common effects of the world.

[jabbadahut1134]

dude your a effing genius!!!!!!!!! do you do this for a living?

[VistaGamer7]

May I ask wat program this is?

[OrganizedChaos48]

As the name suggests, it is called Motion 3. It comes with Final Cut Studio 2.  Very neat program collection.

[dillonp23]

Its in the title idiot.

[VistaGamer7]

no shit dumbass

[funtube99999]

It must be Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Studio

[GeneralChurch]

did you not read the title? its called Motion 3, it comes bundled with Final Cut Studio and i have to say it is an amazing app

[gupptabs]

i started watching this when u started recording at 12:06 PM ohh and great tut i am a big motion/final cut man

to cure the 5 second issue and stop the sphere expanding, make the emitter speed = 0 and the life = 10, should work.

[JohnnyMotel99]

to cure the 5 sec issue and stop the sphere expanding make the speed = 0 and the life =10

Hi Eric, was able to use your fine video to re-create the diamond sphere. Can You now demonstrate how one can now import it into FCP, with a transparent background, for use in a video?

Thanks

[christianacintron]

thanks for posting!

[junglej815]

How do you get it to stay up longer than like 5 seconds? When it gets to around 5 seconds it disappears.

[KillerKreate]

that looks so awesome

[dkoch2]

looks cool, reminds me of the news years ball in times square

[letsblamecanada]

hey is there any way to use replicators to make multiple spheres for something like buttons on a dsp menu?

[TheKryptonianFreak]

Mine didn't turn into a sphere it was still like that pack box with the effects

[sexydanny21awesome]

What in drag makes it stay together as one?

[sexydanny21awesome]

Okay so what makes it not blow apart I did not get that part.

[MrTosh1980]

Very cool. Thanks for the tutorial man. I'm always looking for Motion tutorials. Much appreciated. I look forward to future lessons.
