	Re: rounded rectangles by Michael Szalapski on Aug 15, 2011 at 3:37:57 pm in the Adobe After Effects basics Forum You can easily have video playing on the face of something that then changes to a symbol. Do that in a precomp. To create 3d boxes with rounded edges, make a rectangle shape in AE. Make it 3d. Duplicate it. Move it back a pixel or two in z space. Re


	Re: Script to duplicate and offset layers by Brian Charles on Jul 15, 2011 at 12:56:19 am in the Adobe After Effects Forum I wrote something similar earlier this year and added controls to a null for offset in x y and z. You're welcome to use what you like: // offset layers beta // ©February - March 2011 Brian Charles version b.05 // Apply to layer below to Cop

	Re: Resizing a comp with 3D objetcs/camera movements: z dimension issue by Joey Foreman on Mar 18, 2011 at 9:34:27 pm in the Adobe After Effects Forum The best way to resize a comp is with the Scale Composition script included with AE.


	Re: I MUST be missing something... like a brain. by Jason Diebler on Mar 17, 2011 at 3:44:41 pm in the Apple Motion Forum Consider using Mark Spencer's tutorial on Building 3D Objects. http://pixelcorps.cachefly.net/macbreak-164-540p-h264a.mov Build your 6 layers (all squares) in Photoshop. One layer is your cover, another layer is thin lines to look like pages,


	Re: Cloner texture problems by Shawn Marshall on Sep 11, 2010 at 3:55:16 am in the Cinema 4D Forum Hi Brian: Thanks for taking the time to work that out: I really appreciate it. An alternate solution, which I ended up using, is to use a cubic map and make the Z scale very small (I used .01 ft). The image texture on the sides essentially dis


	Re: Zoom in (forward) effect by Alperen T. Ayhan on May 10, 2010 at 12:34:15 am in the Adobe After Effects Forum I didn't understand what you couldn't do.. If I am wrong please feel free to correct me ok? But If want to do a remake of "Storm Watch" video, just animate the text like "storm watch" in a precomp, then make the precomp as a 3D layer. so now you just


	Re: how to add sun to clean sky by Alperen T. Ayhan on May 8, 2010 at 12:06:52 pm in the Adobe After Effects Forum (If I've understood in the right way). If your comp is 3D just place lensflare in front of sky BG just about 1-2 pxs (z scale). then the camera movements will be ok. For the Optical Flares you should parent it to a light, so you may place the light i


	Sound keys intensity slider? by bart stevens on Apr 8, 2010 at 6:23:51 pm in the Adobe After Effects Expressions Forum I'm very new at expressions, so I apologize for what I suspect is a simple task. I have an animation that uses output from soundkeys to drive the Z-scale of the object. I have the z scale linked to the soundkeys layer (and increased by x3) temp

Ayhan on Apr 3, 2010 at 10:46:44 pm in the Adobe After Effects Forum Make that image 3D layer. then add a new camera (layer/new/camera) and null object (layer/new/null object. turn null object to 3D layer and parent the camera to the null object. After these preparations, just play around the null object's position va


	linking luminace value to scale by criis daw on Mar 16, 2010 at 5:12:44 pm in the Adobe After Effects Expressions Forum Hi can anyone help me please. I am trying to create an expression where the luminace value of a layer dictates the z scale value of a precomp above it. I want it to work like a displacement map so the precomps scale at different values dependin


	Re: Maintaining scale when moving back in Z space by Bartek Skorupa on Feb 22, 2010 at 8:21:47 pm in the Adobe After Effects Forum Try this one: Add an expression to the scale property: zoom = 1422.22; transform.scale*(1+transform.position[2]/zoom) This will work in the composition 1024x576 using square pixels. To find out what value should your "zoom" have - add a


	problems with FLV movies inside of SWFs nested in HTML divs by Aaron Hayman on Jan 24, 2010 at 8:34:20 pm in the Web Design Forum I hope that subject heading makes sense. I didn't really know how else to put it. Anyway, I've been having two different problems with my website both with Flash elements. 1) In Firefox in the Mac and PC (but not Safari on the Mac) I have an issu

	Does anyone know Zaxwerks 3D layer warps? by Richie Tovell on Nov 30, 2009 at 10:46:38 am in the Adobe After Effects Forum Does anyone know Zaxwerks 3D layer warps? I don't seem to be getting any replies on their forum and I've hit a bit of an obstacle. This plugin places your layers in to it's own 3D environment a great part of the way it works is that it replaces Af

	Re: Randomly moving objects on x/y or z-scale without keyframes by Gus Nwanya on Aug 11, 2009 at 8:37:49 am in the Cinema 4D Forum Hi Adam Thanks very much. Im sort of getting there. But how would I just limit the movement of the polygons to just one movement. e.g. I would like to just move the polygons up and down on the y-position? And also set the maximum and minimum heigh


	Re: Randomly moving objects on x/y or z-scale without keyframes by Adam Trachtenberg on Aug 10, 2009 at 10:53:34 pm in the Cinema 4D Forum You can do this with the MoGraph Fracture Object. One caveat: the Fracture Object consumes a lot of RAM and cpu cycles, so you might not be able to use it if your text contains a very large number of polygons. Generally speaking, a few thousand is


	Re: Randomly moving objects on x/y or z-scale without keyframes by Gus Nwanya on Aug 10, 2009 at 6:49:29 pm in the Cinema 4D Forum My apologies. I meant x/y or z-position not scale.

I would like to create an animation of the polygons randomly moving up and down on the y-scale position independantly of each other, without having to keyframe each polygon over a p


	Exponential keyframes for Z position? by Kristel Schmidt on Jun 26, 2009 at 9:14:41 pm in the Adobe After Effects basics Forum Hi everybody, I came across a situation today where I was animating an object's Z scale exponentially (i.e from a value of 40000 to -75 without it jumping in my face in the last second). I ended up just dragging the keyframe handles in the graph e


	Re: M&M Candy Shape?? by Serge Hamad on Jun 5, 2009 at 2:55:34 am in the Zaxwerks Forum Hi, Learning about custom edges is very important if you want to master Invigorator/ProAnimator. You may want to check out the "Custom Edges" tutorial here at the Cow. Another very useful feature is the Scale option. (Located in the Stats Menu)

	Re: xpression to maintain scale on a 3d layer as if z = 0 by Filip Vandueren on Feb 16, 2009 at 9:32:41 pm in the Adobe After Effects Expressions Forum I'm not following you. I thought you needed it to just scale so it would appear the same scale independent of z. If you also want to move the layer with the camera, why don't you just parent it to the camera ?


	expression to maintain scale on a 3d layer as if z = 0 by Scott McDonnell on Feb 16, 2009 at 1:30:31 pm in the Adobe After Effects Expressions Forum Hi, I am looking to have an expression that adjusts the scale dependent on the z value of the layer so that the scale appears exactly as if the z value is 0. For example in a 1920x1080 square pixel comp with no independent camera the following val


	Can and expression be connected to a layer on another comp? by Jonathan Bliss on Jan 30, 2009 at 9:32:17 pm in the Adobe After Effects Expressions Forum Hey Guys, Is there an expression i can use to have layers in one comp auto orient to a camera in another comp? I have an effect where multiple instances of a layer are falling back in z space(like an 80's music video effect). I have my duplicates i


	Re: Spread position of several layers by Jeremy Allen on Jan 26, 2009 at 8:14:28 pm in the Adobe After Effects Forum Look up Aaron Rabinowitz' podcast on Z-scale. Basically, put all your layers in a 3d comp, and spread them out with z-scale. It's an easy way to spread them out, although I'm not sure if this is what you want or not..--------------------------------


	Re: How do I create this effect? by Ryan Wing on Jul 15, 2008 at 3:17:53 pm in the Adobe After Effects Forum Hello!! We just created a similar effect using two different methods. The first was what we were comfortable with, the second was faster to create, modify, and render. 1 - Do it in a 3D program. Just create the text in something like Maya or Lightw

	Re: How can you make a 3d composition, remain 3d in another comp? by Jeff M on Oct 17, 2007 at 10:52:46 am in the Adobe After Effects Forum I think I saw that explained in Aharon Rabinowitz's tutorials: Creating a Flock of Birds I believe it's in part two that he does an explanation of the 3d aspect: http://cowcast.creativecow.net/after_effects/episodes/CC_Bird_Flock_B_POD.m4v or hi

	Re: shearing an invigorator object by Jon Okerstrom on Aug 14, 2007 at 1:14:03 am in the Zaxwerks Forum Hi Scott, The short answer is yes and no. The only animatable deformation in Invigorator is adjusting Z scale. You can accomplish shearing by doing one of the following: 1) Apply a deformation effect to the Invigorator layer or a pre-rendered movi

But with expressions, here goes. Add this expression to the position of a 3D layer (it effects the Z spread) and you get a 100 pixel spread from the top layer. position+[0,0,(index-
