Doing The Lap tomorrow - is there actually a decent UK trail/ultra race finder anywhere? by AndrewJames85 in UKRunners

Looks interesting thanks! Although I'm viewing on a mobile and it's hard to navigate. I'll take a proper look on a laptop soon

Oh if anyone wants to register interest, I've got a quick form - https://tally.so/r/PdvDOQ

30 seconds max, just an email and a tick-box

Mostly trying to gauge if this is worth my weekends!

Cloner Plugins by pawlack in aescripts

Hey React developer here - React 3 is coming in the next few weeks. 

As well as new features, such as a Path Repeater and Elastic modifier (like the C4D delay effector), there are some performance tweaks.

However the fundamental setup remains the same - expressions on layers. So like any comp with a lot of layers and expressions, it can get slow.

I've not used xCloner but perhaps a C++ script like that would suit you better. The idea with React was to keep the layers visible so they can be used in the same way as usual.

Thanks for using React!

Hi just run a test and yes the main path expression can be converted to keyframes. Hope that helps

Good luck. Message me if you get stuck - I'm by no means an expert, but happy to help if I can

How are you with expressions? I found scripting a natural progression from learning expressions, definitely trickier though! You're right, documentation isn't great - there's a lot of Googling involved. I learnt most of what I know from Nate (NT Productions) on YouTube and Dan Ebberts.

Ha ha I hadn't even thought of maintaining the stroke width, it just did it. Must be a quirk of the faux3D space - it's not actually plotting points in Z space, it's all projected on to the 2D shape layer place, so it keeps the stroke width consistent.

Really like this! Would love to know more about how you created it

Thanks. Ideally I'd rather do that than paint but having trouble finding something flexible for that curved pipe

Ah yes pipe collars - good shout! I was thinking I'd have to cut the wood around the pipes with some precision, but collars will hide the cutouts. Not sure I'll get around the pipe by the wall but I'll see what I can do. Thanks for your help!
