  3D Text in AE using Expressions – how to change the color

  Posted by Bradley Houshour on March 30, 2012 at 10:08 pm

  I’m using this expression to create 3D text.
  value+[0,0,index*slider]

  I’m trying to change the lightness of each duplicated layer’s color.
  Does anyone know how to change the lightness of the color using an expression?

  Assuming you applied a Fill effect to the text, something like this for the Color:

  hsla = rgbToHsl(value);
  hslToRgb(hsla + [0,0,.02*(index-1),0])
