COOL! And first to comment :-) but serioiusly, thanks man!!
Where can we find the second plug-in you used, the one to set alpha mode in solids????
Forget the second plug-in. It’s much less of a hassle to simple add a black fill effect to the layer above the Sinedots effect and setting opacity to 0%. Instant alpha.
Great tutorial. I will definitely be using that plugin for some motion loops.
The ads are turning me off.
omg you have to watch the add again if you submit a comment!
Pretty Cool!Браво!Надявам се да продължаваш да правиш такива хубави уроци за нас…
RIght up my alley. nice one.
Pretty c00l. Loved it.
My only gripe with Sinedots plugin is that it’s not 3D.
Can you provide this very important tutorial free? Or how much you can deduct for taking a premium membership.?
Cool tutorial !
His voice sounds like some kinde of text to speech program ^_^
really cool tut. But I don’t see how this ever will come in use.
you can control sine dots with trapcode form!!!
link the sinedots parameters with trapcode parameters.
this is how.
ALT click the stop watch of sinedots parameter and pickwipe to the trapcode parameter.
then ALT click the trapcode parameter and enter Time*22.5 or somethig like that.. or Wiggle(1,45);
I was trying to make sinedots to react to sound..but have not luck yet..if any body figures it out please let me know.
I download sinedots yesterday after i watched your tutorial and 2day i was trying it out this plug-in is really kool ..and is gonna be way better. if it can work 100% with trapcode form.
to make sinedots work with trapcode form first apply form and then sinedots.
Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial. Must say it´s a really cool plug-in. Looks simple yet really powerful.
The idea with Form sounds really interesting as well.
It bothers me when a tutorial starts using additional plug-ins, especially paid ones, without notice.
Then it’s no longer a tutorial just on using Sinedots, but one using Sinedots, and UnMult and Starglow and…
ain’t working on 64bits, bummer
Plugin not working in 64bit CS5, :(
