3d cube existing out of 16-9 solids -possible?
this is a hard one to explain…
i have made a 1100-1100 square-pixel composition. this exisst out of 121 solids of each 100-100 pixels. the solids will later be replaced by avi. files. – this composition is put in another composition 6 times. by changing the X and Y factors i made i cube in a 3d world. the camera can fly arround this cube. the goal is to let all the solids slide out of the space over the Z towards the middle of my 3d space and thus form a cube. this works. i have 11 lines so i can fly with my camera to the middle solid (even numbers wouldn’t create a middle solid that’s why i have 11 / 11)… now here comes to problem. every solid will be replaced with an image … but these are in 16-9 … is there a way to create a solid cube – with 16-9 solids to create the same effect i tried to explain above? … i want this because the end-composition is in 16-9 and thus the camera the flies to the middle solid is 16-9 — i want it to fit on the middle image like a puzzle.
the problem now is that it flies to a square solid but that the image that is gonna replace this solid will be 16-9 … and i don’t want it the show bars – i want it to fit (or come to the closet way of fitting)
hope i explained it okay…
tnx.nils

can you capture screen and express your problem? I can’t understand your question. Hope i can find solution for you!

Hmm … I may not understand completely, but …
1. to make a 16:9 rectangular image a square image you squeeze it or letterbox (bars) it. There are no other options.
2. to make a square out of a lot of 16:9 images, you make the rows 9 images long and the columns 16 images high. As a result, your middle image is centered left-to-right (9), but not vertically (16). You’ll have 144 images.Hope that helps somehow …

1. One other option: cropping.
You could crop the videos to be square, and then when zooming into the centre video, uncrop it.

Now there’s an option. 🙂

I’m a bit confused as well. I don’t think you’re truly asking if rectangles can make a cube (with eaqual sides) because that’s not possible. Even with 4:3 images people mask the image to true square and adjust the anchor points to create the cube.
I would do whatever is easiest for your 3D graphics (cropping clips to squares to make cubes). Then when you zoom into the final cube side, do some sort of transition. If your sequence is moving fast you can make it hit into place where it goes too far and the square fills the screen then when it bumps back it’s a 16:9 image that fills the screen. Do this quickly and turn on motion blur and you won’t notice the up-rezzing on the bump in.

I made a quick example of the transition I’m talking about from square to HD
