Merge Rotation and Orientation - A bit Off topic

Hi,

I recently encountered some problems copying rotation values to orientation values. After Effect's help says it handle those parameters differently but doesn't explain how. Any idea ?

Thanks,

Merge orientation, rotation and point of interest

Hi,

I'm trying to export data from AE to 3Ds and want to merge orientation with individual rotations values and point of interest. Any idea how to do that ?

Thanks,

So far I've managed to do that : -AutoOrient the layer towards camera - Z rotation = "thisComp.layer("Camera 1").rotation And for the scale : dist = length(thisComp.layer("Camera 1").position, position); S=dist/20.4; [S,S,S] 20.4 being the value that seems fine for my projec...

Scale text according to camera distance

Hi,

I would like to place some text layers in a 3D comp, but I want them to rotate with to camera in order to always face the camera, and I also want them to remain at a fixed size during the comp. In other words, 3D location but no 3D transform. Any clue how to do that ?

Thanks,

Infinite mosaic

Hi, I'm trying to achieve this effects and can't find how to do it : I want a layer to turn into mosaic, each element of the mosaic being the layer image, so i can zoom in or out and always find back my image. A nicer one would be : having a set of layer being the mosaic elements of another lyaer (a...

This works.

Link Light Intensity to another layers velocity

Hi,

I would like to have the intensity of a light linked to the position velocity of another layer, but AE doesn't seem to accept this. Can anyone help ?

Thanks,

It works

Well, I don't know what I was doing wrong, it works now.

Thanks, I'll check, maybe there is a hidden tabulation somewhere in my script.

Thank you,

Doesn't work

I've tried to paste back a position text generated by after (Copy position keyframes and paste in notepad) but AE didn't recognize it's own file.

Does this usually work ? Am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks,

Import position data

Hi, I'm trying to import a position info from 3ds max. Someone wrote me a script that wrote the position of an 3d object and saved it in a txt file (reversing the y and z coordinates) with the same formatting as AE writes when copying keyframes data to a text file. Now, AE doesn't seem to accept bac...

What I've found so far

I could use this expression found on http://www.motionscript.com : start = 0; //start time of template motion end = 4.0; //end time of template motion t = thisComp.layer("template"); offset = (t.effect("offset")("Slider")/100)*(index -1); travel = linear(t.effect("...

I'll explain a bit my previous post

Basically, what I want could be done with a motion trail expression on n similar layers without animating the "travel" parameter along the path. But my problem is that I want the path to be animated, and that doesn't seem to work with a trail expression. In other words, I'm looking for a &...
