mObject and FCPX 10.3 - Problem with textures.

Hey everyone.

Since updating to 10.3 i've discovered an issue with textures using MotionVFX's 3D plug-in 'mObject'.
Is this a thing that anyone else has noticed or is it just me ?
Textures appear distorted and flicker when there is movement. The example below is of four of the standard presets that come with mObject so it should be easy to compare if anyone who has it would be so kind as to check for me.

I reinstalled the plug-in after dicovering the bug, but the issue still persists.

Thanks guys.

You should contact them. They've been very good with support.

Thanks Tom.

That will be my next port of call, but i thought i would check with the community first.

Steve,
I just tested the same titles that you have in your video, and on El Capitan they all render perfectly with FCPX 10.3. I did not see any of the texture artifacts in your video. Maybe on Sierra mObject will need an update.

I do not use "mobject" for a while. So I tried it, and Motion notified not find it anymore, so I opened my minstaller which has fixed a problem and has installed a new version 1.3.2. Now everything works fine.I use more or less your configuration but retina display.
Hope this can help you.

There's an mObject 2 that's supposed to be coming soon, I think I read. Just a side note.

Hi Dan.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out for me.

Much appreciated.

I hadn't used it for a while either. I mostly used mObject for 3D text but then the inbuilt 3D text capabilities in FCPX almost made it redundant. At the end of last week i was asked to create an animation of a Star Shaped Tetrahedron. I already had a .obj model as i'm into sacred geometry but when I looked in FCPX, all of the models and the plug in had disappeared.
Oddly, i could still launch the app from the Launcher so it was still there somewhere. I eventually found it in the Application support folder, moved it back to the applications folder and all of the models appeared again and the plug in worked except that the textures were malfunctioning.
I did a clean install of mObject but the issue - for me currently still persists.
I think i might try to re-install it again.

Many thanks for taking time out to look at this for me Pielle.

It is very much appreciated.

Steve.

Looking forward to seeing what that has to offer - thanks Ben.

A little lost, mobject not updated for a long time

Well it doesn't look like anyone else here had the same issue, but for the record a second reinstall using the mInstaller Reinstall (Repair) option fixed the problem.
Not a plugin that i use that often since Apple introduced native 3D text, but it's nice to know it's there and that you can work with 3D objects should the situation arise.

I'm glad you've fixed the problem. I wonder if it is easier to make your animation with mobject or only with motion. if you want to try, I put you in attachment a FCPX generator of tetrahedron star. With friendship Pielle

Pielle - that's amazing.

You have made me question what i thought was possible with shapes using Motions text extrusion capabilities.
I've worked through the parameters and figured out how you made this and it is genius.

Many many thanks.
( You've earnt some karma there my friend. )
