Rotation X-Axis

Hey there, I try to rotate a picture in the X-Axis and not the Z-Axis.
Does anyone know, how I can solve this in FCP ?
Thanks for answering

Try the Basic 3D filter.

CS6: Ps 3D Rotation Z Axis Motion?

Hey guys, how do you add keyframes to 3D Rotation Z Axis on the Ps timeline?

Just did a test and it works.
Scroll down your animation panel unti you see 3D Meshes. Open it to display the name of your mesh.
Click the stopwatch icon to enable keyframing
Drag the timeline to the length of time desired.
Rotate your mesh along the z axis to create a new keyframe.
(To rotate along the z axis, make sure your mesh is selected in the 3d properties panel. Move your cursor over the green arrow on the mesh in the document. Continue to move your cursor downwards towars the arrow until you see a yellow circle display. At that point a tooltip should show the words rotate on z axis. Drag the circle in either direction to rotate your mesh.)

How do I rotate chart axis labels?

Trying to rotaet chart axis labels for the x-axis, but would like to know the same for the y-axis too. Know the solution for a text box, but doesn't seem to work for the axis labels.

Hi Martin,
The solution is the same for X and Y labels. Select the labels and then set the rotation angle, either in the Format Bar or in the Metrics Inspector.

Problem: Orbit Camera Tool Only Rotates One Axis

Hey forum, please forgive the newbee question. I just upgraded to motion 4 and noticed that in a 3D project the orbit tool only swivels the view in one axis (I cannot tilt the view).
I just opened a new project. Inserted an object. Created a camera. Switched to 3D. Choose the top view from the compass. Clicked and held on the 'orbit camera' in the top right... no 3D axis rotation (same protocol works perfectly in motion 3 with full 3D perspective rotation).
Guessing I am missing something really simple... Any thoughts?

That's how it works now. If you want to orbit on multiple axes, you need to be in an Active Camera or Perspective view.

Another Question...rotating on two axis

Hi again. Well I have yet another question...how do I set a translation to rotate on two axis? Like I know that I can do:
TransformGroup tg;
Transform3D t3d = new Transform3D();
t3d.setRotation(new AxisAngle4f(1f,0f,0f,(some angle)));
tg.setTransform(t3d);
for one axis (I just put the declarations in to show an example) but if I try to apply two set rotations or two Transform3D's it doesn't work...so how would I rotate on, say, both the x and the y axis? Thanks,
Compaq

in fact the best thing would be to get used to quaternions. I suppose some Java3D tutorials discribe it quite well.
If you really want to use rotation on axis you have two solutions :
create 2 Transform3D and apply the result
Transform3D t3dx = new Transform3D();
t3dx.setRotation(new AxisAngle4f(1f,0f,0f,(xangle)));
Transform3D t3dy = new Transform3D();
t3dy.setRotation(new AxisAngle4f(0f,1f,0f,(yangle)));
t3dx.mul(t3dy);
tg.setTransform(t3dx);
(hum, at least i suppose it would work ;)
or you can do that too :
Transform3D t3dx = new Transform3D();
t3d.setRotation(new AxisAngle4f(1f,yangle/xangle,0f,(xangle)));
tg.setTransform(t3d);
(in this case xangle must be != 0)
I'm not really sure it will work so please tell me if it works. I've tried to help you twice today so you can send me some bucks to the folowing address :
oh, ok mum i won't give our address on the internet ;)

Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended 3d Camera Rotation Timeline Issue

This is driving me daffy, and maybe it's obvious, but I hope someone might have an answer. I'm trying to create a timeline wherein the camera rotates in a circle around a 3d Object that is located at the origin of the Ground Plane. I click 3d Camera in the Timeline to create my beginning keyframe, I drag the time slider to the end of the timeline, and I Rotate the camera view around the Z (vertical central) axis of the ground plane. I have the caps lock on so that the ground plane stays perfectly level as I rotate.) As I am rotating the 3d Camera, the entire scene appears to rotate around the Z axis at the origin of the ground plane, which is what I want the animation to look like, but this is not the scene that plays back. When I play back the scene by clicking the play button or dragging the time slider, it rotates off-axis around some other center of rotation, with my 3d object often rotating out of the scene. Am I doing something wrong? Any insight would be appreciated.
J. Combs
P.S. --I tried the technique both on an imported 3d object (a head) and on Photoshop's preset Hat object with the same results.

Each camera keyframe will record the camera's location in world and its rotation about a pivot at that particular location, not the apparent pivot of when you were manipulating the view. You will not have recorded a circular camera path. The path will be straight lines between keyframes.
If you really want to make life hell and do the animation in Photoshop, then record a keyframe at each 5 to 10 degrees of rotation of the camera while you manipulate the view. That'll create a polygonal path that quite closely approximates a circle.
You could be tempted to keep the camera stationary and rotate Scene instead but the lights are outside of Scene so they would need to be rotated individually in order to create the illusion of only the camera moving.

Using the rotate tool in CS6

Hi,
I am trying to use the rotate tool in CS6, I have created a petal, I then use the rotate tool to reposition the axis rotation pint, then when I double click to bring up the dialog box or if i go Object>Transform>Rotate the Axis point shifts back to the centre of the petal.
I can only assume that this is a bug.
Any help please
Many thanks

Pleased to be of assistance :-)
By the way, double-click on the Rotate tool will rotate the object around its centre via the dialogue box.
Maybe that was confusing you.

XYZ Camera Rotation w/ bezier curves - CS4

Hi, I've been doing a workaround but I'd like to figure out the proper way to do this...
It's really simple:
Camera rotates left 45º on y-axis (like you are turning your head)
then, Camera rotates up 45º up on x-axis (like you are looking up)
I want to be able to control the motion with bezier points.
-- Problem: the y-axis rotation does not offset the x-axis rotation (apparently on world not local) and the camera twists the horizon line (like you are twisting your head like a confused dog)...
Workaround 1:
y-axis Rotate
x-axis Orientation
-- Problem, orientation does not allow XYZ bezier point manipulation in the AE graph editor (severely handicapped motion control) <anger><hostility>
Workaround 2:
y-axis Rotate on Camera
parent camera to a null
x-axis Rotate on Null
-- Problem, keypoints to animate camera are on 2 completely different objects.
There has got to be a better way. Please, please, enlighten me...
(disclaimer: I'm used to Lightwave 3D's camera rotation, and AE7 messed me up with the new graph editor – velocity graph doesn't make any sense to me)
p.s.
found this thread after I posted (even though I searched):

thanks Mylenium
http://www.guerrillacg.org/home/3d-rigging/the-rotation-problem
Gimble Lock is something I've fought in Lightwave so I'm aware of that. But a fixed world x-axis rotation on a camera seems AE specific – it's really weird.
Last, Orientation and Rotation x-axis both seem to be world coordinates. Both produce the same problems if using x and y on the same parameters...

There are a couple of ways that I would approach this. The first would be to animate the point of interest instead of rotation.
The second would be to put the camera on a dolly. I do that all the time by adding a Camera, then adding a Null, making it 3D and then moving the null to the same position as the camera (copy and paste position). I then name the Null "camera dolly" and use the dolly to move the camera. Now you can simply adjust the pan of the camera with the Y rotation of the camera and the tilt with the x rotation of the dolly or by animating the point of interest.
It's nearly impossible to get the kind of movement you expect by setting X, Y and Z keyframes for camera rotation or by setting keyframes for orientation with Auto orientation turned off. Movement is much easier when you split the controls between a null and the camera.
As far as adjusting the movement with bezier curves, you can control the timing with bezier curves, but if you want to use curves for the angle you'll have to use the point of interest and adjust these curves with the (g) pen tool in the comp window using something other than Active Camera View.
I hope this helps. One of these days I'll put all of my camera techniques in a tutorial.

How to change the center of rotation for an assembly in Tetra 4D reviewer?

I was trying to create an animation of a assembly which should rotate around an axis.
But I was only able to rotate it around its center of gravity. Is there a possibility to define the center of rotation for a selected assembly?
Thanks!

Solved!
I have created a new cordinate system with its origin in the center of rotation of the assembly.
Then I switched the coordinate system to be the primary one.
Then I selected the assembly and created a new animation with the "rotation around axis" tool, method primary coordinate system.
It works!

Labview AHRS Community Document Nightmare

This post is in reference to this document: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-18964#/?page=4
I have two of the Razor boards from SparkFun and they have been killing me. (I bought a second just to make sure the board wasn't bad) I can't get either of them to calibrate correctly. I have tried the AHRS9DOF firmware and multiple calibration methods. I consider myself to be a smart person so I must be doing something horribly wrong. My best results so far have actually come from example magnetometer calibrations rather than my own measurenents!
I am developing a system for my father with ALS (he can only move his head and fingers a small amount). A head mounted IMU will take measurenets of his head position and generate very large movements of a Nintendo Wii remote control. This way he will be able to play video games with the family. I've already built and tested the robot Wii remote manipulator, the bluetooth device that pushes buttons on the robot held remote, an interface box that debounces large 3" diameter buttons, a large joystick, and a +/- 0.3psi pressure transducer for sip and puff control This is the LAST step! I thought I had it figured out, but after accomplishing all of the above I noticed the problems.
After a day of head banging, I don't have success but I do have a lot to report.
This video here shows a modified version of the program to include:
-average of raw sensor values (used for gyro offset creation)
-min/max values from a resettable buffer (accelerometer and magnetometer)
-last acquired sample of raw sensor values
-last acquired sample corrected sensor values
Current problems:
-Yaw seems to move 180 degrees for a 90 degree sensor movement, possibly 1 degree of drift every 5-7 seconds...but all gyros are 0.
-Pitch and roll seem to have the same problem, but they drift even more
Here is a youtube video showing the problem. It should be ready in 25 minutes after posting this message.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKGOEbDdkRU
How I calibrated:
I calibrated my gyros by sitting the PCB down, not disturbing it, and averaging 500 values. Here are my gyro offsets:
sen_offset.gyro_offset[0] = (float)-2;
sen_offset.gyro_offset[1] = (float)0;
sen_offset.gyro_offset[2] = (float)0;
I calibrated my accelerometers by holding the PCB to get the highest max and the lowest min readings. I would hold they sensor close to vertical and then very slowly move it around to find the highest gravity reading. I would reset the average array frequently to make sure I had a good number and not one with acceleration mixed in with gravity. Here are my accelerometer calibrations. I stole the formulas from the Razor ahrs package. I put in comments behind the sen_offset variables what they are being set to at runtime.
#define ACCEL_X_MIN ((float) -258)
#define ACCEL_X_MAX ((float) 262)
#define ACCEL_Y_MIN ((float) -257)
#define ACCEL_Y_MAX ((float) 274)
#define ACCEL_Z_MIN ((float) -262)
#define ACCEL_Z_MAX ((float) 252)
#define ACCEL_X_OFFSET ((ACCEL_X_MIN + ACCEL_X_MAX) / 2.0f)
#define ACCEL_Y_OFFSET ((ACCEL_Y_MIN + ACCEL_Y_MAX) / 2.0f)
#define ACCEL_Z_OFFSET ((ACCEL_Z_MIN + ACCEL_Z_MAX) / 2.0f)
#define ACCEL_X_SCALE (GRAVITY / (ACCEL_X_MAX - ACCEL_X_OFFSET))
#define ACCEL_Y_SCALE (GRAVITY / (ACCEL_Y_MAX - ACCEL_Y_OFFSET))
#define ACCEL_Z_SCALE (GRAVITY / (ACCEL_Z_MAX - ACCEL_Z_OFFSET))
sen_offset.accel_offset[0] = (float)ACCEL_X_OFFSET; //2
sen_offset.accel_offset[1] = (float)ACCEL_Y_OFFSET; //8.5
sen_offset.accel_offset[2] = (float)ACCEL_Z_OFFSET; //-5
sen_offset.accel_scale[0] = (float)ACCEL_X_SCALE; //.98
sen_offset.accel_scale[1] = (float)ACCEL_Y_SCALE; //.96
sen_offset.accel_scale[2] = (float)ACCEL_Z_SCALE; //1
Finally, I calibrated the magnetometer by aligning the sensor with magentic north and rotating each axis to find the min and max readings.
#define MAGN_X_MIN ((float) -871)
#define MAGN_X_MAX ((float) 887)
#define MAGN_Y_MIN ((float) -1054)
#define MAGN_Y_MAX ((float) 674)
#define MAGN_Z_MIN ((float) -783)
#define MAGN_Z_MAX ((float) 874)
#define MAGN_X_OFFSET ((MAGN_X_MIN + MAGN_X_MAX) / 2.0f)
#define MAGN_Y_OFFSET ((MAGN_Y_MIN + MAGN_Y_MAX) / 2.0f)
#define MAGN_Z_OFFSET ((MAGN_Z_MIN + MAGN_Z_MAX) / 2.0f)
sen_offset.magnetom_offset[0] = MAGN_X_OFFSET; //8
sen_offset.magnetom_offset[1] = MAGN_Y_OFFSET; //-190
sen_offset.magnetom_offset[2] = MAGN_Z_OFFSET; //45.5
So, WHY DOES THE IMU HATE ME????? ; (
I will attach my current arduino and labview code.
Thanks for any help you guys can give me. I hope what I'm going through can help someone else! The labview code is messy...it gets cleaned when it works. : ) Since I can't attach code here, I am starting a discussion at this link:
Where ever a solution is find to my nightmare, I will update both places.

Just something to fill in the blanks...
Here is a proof of concept manipulator holding the wii remote:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13cWH2Z91aA
There is no scaling or gain applied to the IMU driving the robot. The idea is that a small head movement can create a big manipulator movement. My dad won't be able to play this game in 6-8 months. He is going down hill fast. : (
The current manipulator has two yaw, two roll, and one theta motor. No more tape. : ) The remote is now disassembled and surrounded by heat shrink tubing, an ardunio, a bluetooth adapter, and lithium battery.
Don't even try to search google for "Wii remote robot", if you're looking for robots holding a wii remote. : )

How to create shape that follows camera movement

Hi
I am trying to create a little axis representation on the bottom of the canvas that would be fixed in position relative to the camera and the axis. (i.e. if camera moves or rotate, the axis representation will stay at the same place and rotate accordingly). What is the best way to do this ? Do I extend the Camera/Mouse class and tell it to update the transform group of the axis shapes whenever it moves ? Does anyone have a example of how they did it ?
Thanks, Dave

Julie,
To get something that resembles a straight pill (or a capsule) as the one you describe, you may:
1) Create the outer rounded shape and split it into two: one on top with the stroke, one below with the solid fill corresponding to the colour adjacent to the stroke;
2) Select the filled path and Object>Path>Offset Path, using a negative value that is half the width less a suitable small amount (1pt or something);
3) Change the fill of the small inner path to a paler grey or white;
4) Select both the filled paths and Object>Blend>Make (with Smooth or a suitable number of steps in the Object>Blend Options).
To easily get something that is more like a round pill, you may apply horizontal gradients to the paths in the blend, along with a suitable number of steps.
With a new version, you may also use the new 3D features.

Trapcode Particular 2 - Orient to Motion Problem

Dear friends,
I have a problem setting up my Trapcode Particular 2 setting.
I have set my Null Object to complete a cirle (by rotating Y Axis). However, my particles don't want to orient to it's motion and do not draw a perfect circle. .
Please take a look:
Any suggestions? What did I do wrong?
Kind regards,

Looking for effect

At my church, we are doing a series based of the TV show "LOST" and I am the one responsible for editing it all together. I have made a title screen for it, but I can't find an effect that is similar to the show's effect where the title rotates and zooms in. The rotate effect that I find only rotates the individual letters, and I can't find a parameter to change that. Does anyone have a clue as to how I can create an effect similar to the one from the show? I'm a new user to Final Cut and LiveType, so I still have a lot to learn about how to use the program. Thanks for the replies!

There is no prefabricated "Lost" type effect in LiveType.
I'm not a Lost viewer, but just took a look at the open on the web. You could do this in Motion if you have the program.
In LT I would suggest you create a new track for each letter...position/align them...and then add the Rotate X-axis to each line...change the keyframes to move the way you want....then add the Fly Out from the Zooms. Once you get the adjustments on one letter correct...then copy the effect and paste it to each of the text line.
If you're new to LT then this will likely be more work than you want to tackle at this point.
Good Luck

Just for fun: Can you guess how I did this?

A few months ago a thread here discussed different way to stroke 3D objects in After Effects. There were lots of clever suggestions.
I made a TV spot last week that uses growing 3D ribbons to spell out the 2012 in the product title. There are straight planes and curves within the ribbon paths, and lighting and shadows were required to match the original album art it replicates. I needed to get the job done quickly and didn't have time to use a 3D application, so I used (what I think) was a rather innovative approach.
So, for a bit of fun, can you pick how I did this? The project is created entirely in AE, in one composition.
Apologies for the heavy compression in the video.

Thanks Todd!
My first attempt was exactly Rick's, using stacked solids with Stroke applied. I gave up on it because, once shadows were applied, the "ribbons" seemed to develop a mottled texture, presumeably because each layer in the stack casts a shadow on the layer behind it. Using Rick's design above, here's an example:
So in the end, I used text layers! Each ribbon is simply a long string of Helvetica "I" characters, with their kerning pulled back so all the characters touch. Convert to per-character 3D, rotate X axis 90 degrees, and apply mask as text path. Then I use a simple Text Animator on opacity to draw the lines on or off.
The great advantage of this is no cumbersome stack of layers. Each colour is one layer, so there's just five layers in my comp for each object. The "20" is one object, then the "1", then the "2" - 15 layers in all for the whole thing. Changing colours is as easy as changing a single text layer.
A total render hog, all the same: it took 11 hours to render the 15 second spot, on an 8 core Mac Pro with 16GB of RAM. But in 3D Draft mode the comp was surprisingly easy to work with. It's just the lighting and shadows that slow things down.
Anyways, perhaps this may inspire someone else to do something interesting with text layers.
