This video features a new texturing technique for 3D geometry called Tri-Planar Mapping. This mapping technique allows you to create seamless organic texturing with minimal stretching over the 3D geometry. This can be used for a wide variety of texturing requirements. This is achieved by mapping the texture three times on the X, Y and Z axes of the model and than blending the textures together for a clean texture. You might be using this great texturing technique more than you think!

In part 4 of the Batch Paint Series, you'll learn how to animate brush strokes over time. This can be useful for writing text, revealing matte, image clean up and loads more creative tasks. In other applications, this may be known as Stroke or Write-On. Previously this functionality was only available in Desktop Paint. With the Flame 2018 products, it's now available as a Batch Paint option.

This video series shows you the conforming workflow in the Flame 2018 Products. These workflows particularly apply to Flame and Flame Assist. Part 2 shows a more advanced conforming workflow when no media links to the conformed sequence. This could be for a variety of technical reasons. But through the use of Match Criteria, the events list as well as continuity checking, you should be able to take on very tricky conforms and link their media.

This video series shows you the conforming workflow in the Flame 2018 Products. These workflows particularly apply to Flame and Flame Assist. Part 1 shows the basic conform where everything is straight forward and media automatically links to the conform. This can happen when all the applications are on the same machine and the file paths are all mapped the same. It also helps to have the metadata consistent in the production pipeline as well as keeping your media organized.

In part 3 of the Batch Paint Series, we’ll run through the workflow of editing paint strokes on the canvas. Almost every property can be edited as well as animated. This opens up a whole range of functional and creative opportunities now available in Batch Paint.

In part 2 of the Batch Paint Series, We’ll take a look at the paint stroke duration over time. This allows you to decide whether a paint stroke affects a single frame or a range of frames in the composite. Now this may not be new to long time Flame Artists but what is different in Flame 2018 is that you no longer must commit to the duration of a paint stroke before you paint. Paint stroke durations are now editable.
