  Inside a tree

  Posted by Ari Grunzeweig on September 16, 2014 at 3:59 am

  Hi,

  I need to create an animation where I am traveling up the inside of a hollow tree trunk. I’d like to stick within the AE / Element 3D realm, but I’m at a bit of a loss.

  I imagine I need to do something like put my camera inside a cylinder that has a bump map opposite that of the outside of a tree trunk.

  Any thoughts/ideas are welcome!

  Thanks very much!

  Thanks,
  Ari

  thats good thinking with cc cylinder. But maybe a hollow shell of a 3d tree trunk would work better. either with cinema 4d or element 3d?

  If you have FreeForm Pro or even FreeForm V2, you could create a displacement map based on a tree bark texture and then follow the tutorial below to create a “tunnel” that simulates the tree trunk:
