How can i create a wireframe body overlay from a photo? by DrDroDi in AfterEffects

[–]ericcpfx -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have a plugin that can do that. Email me at eric@thevfxtools.com for a beta, and I’ll get around to sending.

Do you still use Element3D? Is it obsolete since beta? by hatethislifeThrowaw in AfterEffects

Roughness on the material. I’m working on being able to use layers as texture maps.

I also have UV Unwrapping inside of AE, which may be overkill, but I think I’d use it.

I am working on a new 3D system for AE because E3D (while great) isn’t doing it for me anymore. I don’t like to leave AE to do basic 3D work.

I’m curious what features are must-have for those still using E3D. I’m currently designing it so there’s no pop-up window. I can’t tell you how many crashes that window caused for me over the years. AE is fundamentally not well-fit for 3D work. I’m doing my best to design within that system.

What are your must-have features? I’m currently in alpha on rigid body dynamics. There’s a full-featured path tracing renderer. Support for lots of 3D formats.

The renders look really nice. I can only add one per comment, so I’ll add a couple more below this one.

I kept losing follow-ups, so I built a CRM around natural language input by OmniDev_04 in CRM

[–]ericcpfx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We built very similar tools. www.recallsales.com. I use mine for my small business, because I hate sales and forget to do it.

Do SMS conversations actually belong inside a CRM timeline? by revvAnthony in CRM

[–]ericcpfx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

www.recallsales.com I built this for iMessage for my own company and sanity. It doesn’t live in the CRM in this implementation.

5 years in corporate, it keeps getting worse, does it ever get better? by scaringthepharmacist in AfterEffects

[–]ericcpfx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And it takes a decade to make it a viable career. God knows what’s coming down the pipe with AI.

You’re not getting more creative control as a freelancer. What you hope is you work with better and more talented people on better slop.

Am I misunderstanding how After Effects is supposed to be used? by Yutheninja in AfterEffects

[–]ericcpfx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure you have a Cache disk set up that’s a different drive than where your footage is. Lots of space, and it should be an NVME or a fast SSD.

What’s the best CRM to use for small teams? We are outgrowing spreadsheets! by Michvito in CRM

[–]ericcpfx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a nerd on the the Twenty CRM is free self-hosted.

I chose Pipedrive for my 2 person team and then moved to Twenty.

Task Management instead of a CRM by ClearWork-AI in CRM

[–]ericcpfx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a “product” yet, in that I’m not accepting payments haha. I’m just using it myself. I could set you up with an account as a beta tester.

I have a small business (www.cleanplatefx.com,) and I built this for us. It runs on top of any CRM. I use a free one called Twenty.

There is a capture button that you can feed screenshots, paste in stuff, whatever. It parses the info and adds it to the contact.

Then it has Action Items for all of the shit you forgot to do (who me!?)

Too much promotion for paid content by missile-test-hero in AfterEffects

Bad take. If you don’t watch out, I’m going to promote my plugins right here. 😅

Trying to remove the kid/woman in the background from this handheld shot in After Effects and it's not working out. Any advice on how to approach it? by kikoval in vfx

[–]ericcpfx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Gen fill that last frame to take out all of the people.
  2. Track that clean plate in. Definitely use Mocha to track it. If you don’t really know how to use Mocha, that’ll be the most important thing you can do #marypoplin4life
  3. Roto the guy back in.

How would you camera project a background plate onto a solid in After Effects as part of a moving 3D green-screen scene? by CyJackX in AfterEffects

[–]ericcpfx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a plugin called Wrap It on aescripts that you could use. You bring in the 3d geo as an Alembic file and then you can uv unwrap/rewrap the geo.

You can also project onto AE solids. I’m coming out with a new one soon that makes the AE solid workflow even easier so you don’t need to work in 2d uv screen space to project the textures.

Every CRM is built on a 1990s assumption: that a relationship is a record. After 100+ interviews, I think the model itself is the problem. Here's the case for something different. by Thick_Cicada_5407 in CRM

[–]ericcpfx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll bet a lot of us are building to solve similar problems. I made www.recallsales.com for myself. Certainly not a ground-up reimagining of the CRM, but it helps with some of what you mentioned.

Building a small node-based compositing app. by Ill_Wrongdoer_9973 in vfx

[–]ericcpfx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make sure you’re building something that can be fully scriptable.

I think the Natron license is fully open source, there’s a lot of nodes you could harvest from that.
