Dataling is updating Data Sources in Materials & Text outside of Visual Logic. And Visual logic is updating other values in real-time, ...

Are you saying if you build a cube in XPression and import a cube from a 3D application, The anti-aliasing will defer? I have not witnessed that. If you have an example of geometry you can send me, I will take a look. placombe@rossvideo.com Best regards, Paul #XPression

Under Hardware Setup for your output, enable software filter and experiment with softness levels. This should help signficantly. I use this on all virtual sets to some degree. Because you never know where they will be moving the camera in your scene. hope this helps. Also to answer your question ...

If you build the cube in a 3D package and export to .3ds with UV coordinates, the video texture will wrap according to how you laid out your UV's. We are doing something similar for the NBC NFL games. #XPression

Visual Logic DataLinq function block does not update the "Current Value". I have tried with both a text file and RSS feed. Updates working directly from DataLing to text object in XPression, just not through Visual Logic DataLinq. Running XPression 5.7.3037. Simon Redmile confirmed the same is happening ...

I am not sure if anyone has officially reported this as a bug or figured out a solution in the last year? I have been working around it with some difficulty, however now it has taken a great deal of time to find objects that transform into nowhere when I create a new group and move the object(s) within ...

Kenneth, Thanks again for your help. The key was to select from the channels and not the keyframes themselves. I am now copying and pasting from one Animation Controller to the other. Your instructions were very clear and helpful. It's a little cumbersome, but manageable and it saves a lot of ...

Does anyone know of a way to copy/paste animations from one group to another? I do not see any copy/paste in Scene Director and can not activate any of the copy/paste in the Key Graph Editor (greyed out no matter what I try). I am trying to avoid duplication of effort and create animations that are consistent, ...

This is a basic animation question. I can not figure out how to ease in/out with the animation key graph editor. I have tried modifying the various Interpolation Spline options on the keyframe with not change. I am used to seeing BSpline handles to modify the tangents or other attributes. Any guidance ...
