Put the rectangular masks on certain parts of the circle only to give it a better or more futuristic look.lloyd9988 wrote:Wow, Thanks a lot!Eake4 wrote:A fast method of flashing the triangles is by using an plugin called twitch, if you dont have it the opacity change is okay.

Time to put this advice to the test! But. . . I'mma ask this now than later, are the rectangular subtract masks used only on the circles then??
Oh, I found something else out, I thought maybe an easier way to do it would be make a solid, then just generate a circle and add an "Edge Radius" to it.Eake4 wrote:A fast method of flashing the triangles is by using an plugin called twitch, if you dont have it the opacity change is okay.

Because I was trying the masking portion but, whenever I rotated it, the mask would have uneven dimensions, probably due to the fact that I was masking on an uneven resolution. 
My bad It does have a nice futuristic look! Thanks Mmh, not bad. That i guess would have taken about 30 minutes. Remember working on Projects that you love just take some time to make it look better and it'll become legendary.lloyd9988 wrote:Oh, I found something else out, I thought maybe an easier way to do it would be make a solid, then just generate a circle and add an "Edge Radius" to it.Eake4 wrote:A fast method of flashing the triangles is by using an plugin called twitch, if you dont have it the opacity change is okay.

Also, I got what you meant by the rectangular subtract masks
Edit: Also, I think I got it down. My only problem is the whole timing issue where I need a longer time span first. Anyway, here's the link if you want to check it out (I also fucked up with the placement of the triangle, but, luckily, its so small its barely noticeable) :

Like, parent to a null object?? Because I just precompose each part into different layers and then precompose it into one layer. Think I should do it differently??Niotex wrote:Remember to parent your layers so they can be moved around as a single element.
So Layers upon layers should suffice rather than deep pre-comps and keep the layers fully open??Niotex wrote:First up, that's looking pretty good.
If I get what you're saying you're going about this really inefficiently. Set's of elements that remain static on correlation to each other should be pre-composed. That pre-comp should then be parented to the rest of sets. No endless deep pre-comps, as those will cause for unnecessary ram loads.
