  Problem using toComp() with Point of Interest

  Posted by Lord Scales on June 19, 2007 at 9:16 pm

  Hi!
  I’ve got some trouble to make the 3D Cordinate of an Spot Light POI a 2D Cordinate with toComp ().
  I just want to connect a Lens Flare to the position of my Spot Light POI.
  I have got the following in Flare Center:

  L = thisComp.layer (“Spot”); L.toComp ([0, 0, 0])

  Doesn’t works. I tried before to take a vector of position and POI and covert them, I tried to Convert the mean of position and POI and then convert, and I tried really lot of expressions more.
  If anyone could help me, I’d thank a lot!

  There’s probably a simpler way to do it, but this seems to work:

  L = thisComp.layer(“Spot”);
  fromComp(L.toComp(L.fromWorld(L.pointOfInterest)))
