I have a .ma file with a Maya camera and a bunch of nulls. I have imported this into After Effects.

I want to turn the 3D position points of the nulls relative to the camera into 2D position points based on the Comp window position.

Is there a way to do this with an expression?

Thanks

I general, it would look like this:

L = thisComp.layer("Null 1");
L.toComp(L.anchorPoint)

Could anyone clarify this one? I'd love to use a 3d null from c4d that I set up as 'the sun'

Use that to drive the positional values of a 2 dimensional item such as the position of Knoll Lens Flare.

I tried putting this on a new null and targeting the 3d null (thisComp.layer("sun"));

But it errors out. Must be more to it.

You would apply the expression to the effect point (assuming the effect is applied to a comp-sized 2D layer).

That's awesome Dan - thanks so much - this will become one of my most used expressions!
