CC cylinder question, again
by lackner90 on Nov 2, 2007 at 3:54:05 pm

Hello,
Is there a way to have text come in as a line of text, and than wraps around a sphere and turns into a cylinder like the CC cylinder effect?

It would be greatly appreciated. I've never done something like this before. i don't think CC Cylinder allows you to have it straight first.

thanks again!

Sure. It involves a few precomps, but this trick ought to work:

Y'know, that track matte you need to use may be an alpha inverted matte. I get 'em confused.

That's a cool suggstion, DLR, never would have thought of that.

I'd have suggested investing in Boris package. Their Cylinder and Sphere filters both have delightfully animatable wrap percentages.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: "For crying out loud, read the freakin' manual."

I believe that Zaxwerks 3D warps can also do this.
