3D Projection – Andrew….help….
This is a question for Andrew, although, if anyone has experienced this and/or has a solution, feel free to chime in.
Recently installed AE CS3 and began to play around with some of the 3D aspects. I wanted to take a still photo of the front of our building and using the 3D projection example that Andrew has posted on VideoCoPilot.com, make it a 3D animation of a camera flying toward the front door. (I have to admit that I tried to do this myself before I remembered Andrew’s site and all of the good info that he has there. I got pretty frustrated on my own.)
I followed the tutorial and it all works until the very end when my 3D walls, floor, etc are all out of focus. I am using a very large file (my comp size is the size of the photo 3632X1316). I did make the changes to the Advanced 3D options in the Comp Settings. Is it just that my photo is too big? Everything else works, except that final step.
Thanks for all of the help that you all have posted here over the years.

I am not sure if the image size is the problem. Watching Andrew Kramer’s tutorial on Video Copilot.net I see that his comp/image size is considerably smaller than what I am using.
Thanks for the tip on Ommegang, I was a fan of all of their products prior to moving here this past summer. The Hennepin is my favorite also, although they recently released their annual “Cave Aged” beers that take the flavor and quality up about 30 notches…..

I see now what you are saying and I understand the resolution problem. Thanks for the insight. It’s probably something that I should have been able to figure out……
My next question then would be, could I create this same animation if I create a smaller comp but use the larger photo? Or am I really way off base here?
Don’t sweat the lack of “Cave Aged” Ommegang out in your area….it’s difficult to get your hands on it here in Cooperstown…. Very limited edition and very popular amongst the craft beer crowd.

Dave,
Thanks so much for your insight and your tips. I raise my glass of Ommegang to you.
