    Posted by Enzo Tedeschi on February 25, 2007 at 11:12 am

    Hey guys,

    My AE is getting a little rusty these days!

    Is there a way in AE to curve a 3d plane so that it is curved with z-depth? Anything I can think of only achieves a 2d curve (the moment you move the camera, it is still flat…)

    I basically want to create a 3d room that is curved, rather than being four walls and a cieling. Somewhat similar in shape, I guess, to The Architect’s room in The Matrix.

    Thanks, all. Look forward to reading what you come up with.

    I dont think so. You could create ‘many’ instances through solids and use a plug in called 3d assistants from Digital Anarchy to create cylinder and sphere type shapes.

    Hi Enzo,

    I’m not sure what you’re going for…but if it’s just some basic shapes, you can use Invigorator pretty easy in AE.
    Adobe bundles it with any AE Pro purchase since 5.5(?).

    FWIW

    Thanks for that guys.

    What we are doing is creating a 3D ‘room’ for a keyed actor to move around in.

    I never thhought of using 3D invig that way – it’s an interesting thought and I will look into it – but we have ended up going a slightly different route which means that we will be using flat planes in an open space so it’s now less urgent for this gig.

    Thanks very much for your rapid response… appreciate it.
