  Expression to move objects away from a camera

  Posted by Mark Allen on December 7, 2014 at 6:14 am

  I’m working on an animation with many objects “floating” in space and the camera needs to move to certain objects in this space. What I’d like to do is write an expression for all the layers that are filling the space (except for the ones that the camera will come to) that has them slide away from the camera. Basically they “get out of the way” of the camera.

  I’ve tried searching for it and also for bits of it that I might assemble, but thus far I’ve had no luck.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance.

  here’s an expression by colin braley for repelling layers:

  although i haven’t tried it, it looks like the expression should work for 3d layers.
