New After Effects CS4 With 'Imagineer Mocha'

This major upgrade to After Effects lets you more easily search and navigate around your project, import 3-D layers from Photoshop, fine tune your composites with separate X-, Y-, and Z-position keyframes, create a cel animation look from live footage, and export projects to open and edit inside Flash. A new add-on program, now shipping with After Effects, helps you track hard-to-manage shots.

Imagineer Systems’ Mocha for After Effects is a stand-alone application that now ships with After Effects CS4. This powerful 2.5-D planar motion tracker works better than point-based trackers on problem footage—for example footage with objects moving out of frame or poor lighting conditions that show little detail, or excessive noise.

Mocha for After Effects is a stand-alone 2D tracking tool based on Imagineer Systems unique 2.5D Planar Tracking technology. Mocha for After Effects makes it possible to track problematic shots that traditionally challenge point based trackers, with problems such as footage with objects moving out of frame, lack of detail, motion blur and heavy grain. This helps the artist to generate solid tracks, giving position, scale, rotation, shear and perspective matched tracks and exporting the data to After Effects in less time.

Mocha for After Effects is compatible with prior versions of Adobe After Effects and also is available as a stand-alone application directly from Imagineer Systems. Additionally, mocha for After Effects users are eligible to upgrade to a full mocha toolset, adding significant VFX design functionality.

Mickey Mouse - Happy 80th Birthday

Name : Mickey Mouse

Date of Birth : 18 Nov 2008

Fathers Name : Walt Disney

Longtime girlfriend : Minnie Mouse

Pet's Name : Pluto (dog)

Mickey Mouse, the most popular character in history,the little rodent who helped build the empire of Walt Disney, celebrates his 80'th birthday today. Oddly, the Disney corporation is not making a big deal of Mickey's birthday, perhaps because it is worried that mentioning Mickey Mouse great age will damage his reputation among his youngest fans. So it is up to the rest of us to celebrate for him - and celebrate we should.

Disney marks Mickey Mouse birthday on this day in 1928 upon the release of Steamboat Willie. Now 80 years on Mickey Mouse has grown to be one of the most recognizable symbols in the world.

He never ages. No wrinkles, no drops, no sagging, not even a gray whisker. That's my kind of aging!

Happy 80th Birthday Mickey Mouse! ...

Head & Shoulders Pack Change - 3D Animation, Visual Effects

Dear friends here I will show you how to create a new pack to an existing pack shot of a running commercial to avoid the reproduction cost of the whole commercial when they change the model of the packs.

These are the Shots Before and After the Animation.

Pack Shot 01 Before Animation

Pack Shot 01 After Animation

Here I am showing another shot from the same project.

Pack Shot 02 Before Animation

Pack Shot 02 After Animation

First I have modeled the pack by the help of 3d studio max. Here I am showing the textures which I have used for the pack and its cap.

Here is the 3D Interface Image to get you an idea how it looks like.

After modeling I did the animation of the pack as the reference of the existing shot and rendered the output as 32bit TGAs. Here i will show you a movie of 3d animation.

3d Scene

The final compositing has done in Adobe After Effects. Recreated the water effects and composited the leaves on top of the new 3d pack.
