  Simulate 3D camera with 2D layers

  Posted by Greg Howell on October 19, 2020 at 11:54 pm

  Hi Guys,

  I’d like to have my layers increase in scale relatively, as if they are positioned along the Z axis (as if there is a camera moving through 3D space). Ideally i could manipulate this using the scale property of a null.

  I imagine this is a fairly straightforward, but how would i go about it?

  thanks,

  Greg

  You can do this by parenting each layer to the one below it, select all layers and then adjust their scale at once.

  If you’re using Shapes, you can do this with a Repeater.

  There’s also this cool plugin from Red Giant:
