Okay I have never doubted that your job was well done, I just proposed a simpler way to do it. ...
ohh, the man with the strong words strikes again!
I know what to compare what not:
you said "too complex"...
It's a translation of an existing Motion-only tutorial into a FCPXplugin - <slapping my own shoulder> Well done! esp. two hurdles to go, Mark mentions in his video: beziers and 'interacting with background'.
Last was easy to solve - add some lights, linked to some parameters, shining the clip 'underneath'...
The beziers was a bit trickier (which, btw look much better in the Original than my result!) - Motion doesn't 'transform' typed input aka glyphs into curves (maybe via SDK, I don't know)=> therefor my
brute trick using a 'clone' (technical no clone but … anyhow...) with a lighter weight => mission accomplished.
ok, a bit butchered, the 'Coke'font shows, you'd have to adjust weight per font to avoid 'holes'... me no perfectionist, for some eye-candy good enough. Feel free to adjust or publish another slider..... (I don't like mile long Inspectors)
My goal is an easy to use TITLE, no complex Motion project. Mark did it allready.
So, no reason to apply a wall to it - as you did, Luigi, or as the creator, Mark, did.
Everyone can download the Motion project at rippletarining....
You can apply this TITLE to
any background and it interacts with it (optional):
flicker, color ... automatically, and slightly adjustable...
My main goal with any plugin is
easy-to-use - which, following best Apple tradition, reduces options but improves convenience.
e.g. I could have make an Apple color-selector to allow 'any' color - what would make the plugin internally even more complext, because diff colors create diff.
shines = everything with everything connected = would ask for
really complex rigging.
No, neon does not come in any color (grey??), so the kitchen-table-producer in far far away Germany decides for you: "these 7 colors - use it or leave it!"
....
I'm aware, Amethyst is a
boxed material, haven't having it on my radar ... worth further investgations ... I guess, our specialist fox_m could do some marvel with it, saw some demoes from him using 'glassy' materials.....
The bike is breathtaking - esp. when you know how its done, a whole new level of 'painting by numbers/letters'
... sorry for lengthy reply ... but calling me
naiv triggers me, Dr Luigi.
A bit.
