hey firat,ame happened to me. Alex is right... watch the Futuristic HUD video and see how Andrew uses the math.floor expression. He does the expression around 19:06 in the video. It was easy to do, just follow verbatim. The expression for the text layer that was throwing out decimals now looks like this:
Math.floor(thisComp.layer("B3"
.effect("Bar Value"("Slider")
Math.floor(thisComp.layer("B3"
.effect("Bar Value"("Slider")

Hi, I use to work in softimage XSI, and when i broke objects and then bring to AE they don´t work properly with the element 3d. I think that I make something wrong in my 3D soft. How must I broke the object, and how test if the object it´s properly broke and how to export.. in an simply obj file.

Ive done all of it in a diferent layout animation etc... but my numbers when animated become giant numbers like... 0% to 70% at 68... it becomes 68,854432356 ... Does anyone have the same problem? how can i fix it? to giveme only exact numbers 30, 31, 32, 33... 69,70...

OK I scanned the comments and I don't see that anybody else ran into this, maybe I did something wrong... when I pasted the expression for Time Remap (with Bar Value at 100 and Percentage animated to go from 0 to 100), the animated bar graph clipped jumped to the beginning of the clip. If this happens to you, you'll see it because all of a sudden your masked area looks all funny... that's the masked area showing the beginning of the animation.
The fix was to offset the final value computed by the expression, by 40 frames (the length of the opening camera move). But wait! You don't just add 40... expressions want seconds not frames. So add 1.667 (40 frames divided by the clip's frame rate of 24):
(InputVal*Length*thisComp.frameDuration*ratio)+1.667
or
(InputVal*Length*thisComp.frameDuration*ratio)+(40/24)
hope that helps somebody that finds the same issue I had. I feel like I screwed something up because I don't see that anybody else had this problem.

By the way, if you don't have a 3D editing program you can use Blender. It's free and easy to use. Get it at www.blender.org. Avaliable for Windows, Linux and Mac. I use it, and it's really powerful. I reccomend it.

You are able to do the masking a using object channels and outputting from 3dsmax as a RLA sequence file
Then you can just select which channel you would like to display and it will mask it for you. might involve a little more setting up but after that you wont need to do any masking of your 3d boxes

Hi andrew!
Big fan here. Was wondering if you could do a more in depth tutorial on this as i'm sure many of your viewers really can make use of this graph making tutorial on Aftereffects.
What i meant by in depth would actually be a guide to making your own (cool looking) bars using Aftereffects or Photoshop. And also, I noticed that the exp values actually increase together with the bar animation for the 2nd Comp "Glow Bars". How is that done as well?
Thank you!

Does your animation have to be exactly 100 frames for this to work, because mine looks off. The values aren't proportional to the heights of the bars. My animation is about 24 frames is why I ask. Thanks for any help

Hi! I have replaced the expression within the "Text":
thisComp.layer("bar01".effect("BAR Value"("Slider"
by this:
g=thisComp.layer("bar01".effect("BAR Value"("Slider" * thisComp.layer("bar01".effect("Percentage"("Slider" / 100;
g.toFixed(0);
So that not only the bar is lively, but also the amount that corresponds to each bar and the results were cool!
P.D: Excuse my English, I speak Spanish and used a translator
thisComp.layer("bar01"
.effect("BAR Value"("Slider"by this:

Thanks, really great tutorial, once again! I noticed that a few people have posted interest(myself included), in the Bars that were created in 3ds Max. I realize this is an AE forum/site though, I also noticed in certain instances, AK included what he did in 3ds max. Can I ask for an addendum to this tut that explains how he got those great bars, or at leat a writeup on this blog on how he did it? I know the focus is the animation and getting the end result of controlling images and the like, but with such a cool look, you can't help us wanting to make an animation that looks just as cool. Thanks again!

Andrew - another awesome tutorial. Thanks so much for everything you do!
I thought it would be cool to animate the values under the bars too. Here is an expression that will do that. Put this expression in the Source Text for each layer. You'll need to also change "Bar 01" to "Bar 02" for the second text field, etc. It just has to match whatever you named your comp for the corresponding Bar.
AnimationCompletion=thisComp.layer("Bar 01".effect("Percentage"("Slider"/100;
x = thisComp.layer("Bar 01".effect("Bar Value"("Slider"*AnimationCompletion;
y = Math.round(x);

Hmmm - the idea was to make ONE render as Andrew said. The render AK made took 20 min. for ALL bars. Would you really make 30 renderings if you had that amount of issues to show ?? THAT is Not the idea.
One rendering in 3D, an' you're of to go with expresions - i Think it's a preeety darn nice way to save (exspensiv) time
WAY TO GO - Vc/Ak ... thumbs up

Maybe, it's better to render out each bar separately from 3dsMax.

What I want to know is how did you create the cool texture on the objects in 3ds max? Yes, I know, this is mostly an AE website, but you have been working in some 3d program tutorials, and for those of us new to 3d programs it would be a very helpful tutorial. Thanks. ,

I agree with Doug,
Talented Tutorial, but not my favorite. Seems like something comparable can be easily mastered in Keynote.
Great for learning other things tho. LETS INTRODUCE OPTICAL FLARES AND SURE TARGET 2.

Nice.......but Apple Keynote handles 3D bars good ENOUGH for presentations. You should've done your demo using the stack of coins or something similar. After all bar graphs are pretty lame no matter how nice they look.
That aside, I learnt from this re: time remapping and expressions. Thanks.

That was a great tutorial. Very useful stuff.
Did you render with mental ray or vray? The new Google Chrome spot from Motion Theory uses an Ambient Occlusion pass that I'm starting to see a lot more (at 0:16) It's really a great look.
