Trapcode Form

New Here ,
May 31, 2022 May 31, 2022

Hello. I recently installed RG Trapcode Suite. I wanted to create a holographic output for my 3D scene. When I imported my 3D character model it was properly showing and I exported an OBJ sequence. Because I wanted my character walk sequence while exporting. But when I exported my scene and brought it into After effects and used Trapcode-Form, it's not showing anything.

 

Any solution ?

Form from Maxon app.

Did update the Gx card driver. And I got the latest version of Trapcode form from the Maxon app. I went to their official site and got the latest one from their homepage.

What version of After Effects are you using? Where did you import your OBJ to, Form? There's not a lot of clear detail so it's hard to provide specific troubleshooting reccomendations. Please provide very clear details as to what you're doing and what's not working (with screenshots) because we don't know your system, project, or how you're working. Maxon/Red Giant support is also really good and if this is a bug with Form then they might be able to help, but they're also going to start by asking for a lot more detail about your specific situation.

After effects 2022. Blender - OBJ export. I added Form on a shape layer in my comp, and changed base form to 3d model, changed the 3d model settings and picked the obj layer. Please do tell me if you need anything. error.png

If you open the Form Designer and import the OBJ sequence through that UI (second screenshot in this article) do you see it show up in the Designer window?

I would contact Maxon support them and give them as much information as possible. Maybe there's an issue with OBJ sequences right now, I don't know. It's worth testing a single OBJ to see if sequences could be the problem, though.

Did try that. Didn't work. But if that's the problem with the obj, then my character OBJ-import shouldn't work as well right ? But that works. So my scene included a character walking and there's a camera animation. So I did two different exports. Where in which only the character is kept on and the rest of the layers are off and the character has a walk cycle. And the other export included the buildings and the character off. So I don't know why the buildings are not working.

That's a reasonable assumption, assuming the two were exported with the same settings. Unfortunately, I don't have anymore suggestions other than to contact the Maxon folks. For all you know, this is a known issue and they can provideo a workaround. I've always had quick and great interactions with them.
