3d Sky in After Effects 7
I am currently working on a project for university which involves placing sky in the scene of a 3d environment. I need the sky to be true to the surroundings when the camera rotates. I have the Tinderbox T_Sky plug in which does not seem to do what I need it to do and can not afford to splash out on Aurora Sky. Is what I am trying to achieve possible with what I am using? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

i assume the problem with you sky plugin is that it is not 3d, or can’t use the 3d camera’s positional data of your 3d comp.
you should be able to get believable results if you create a comp for your sky that is large enough to encompass the region that will be seen by the camera as it moves. then bring the sky comp into to your 3d comp and set it as a 3d layer. position it back (usually using the z pos) far enough so the movement seems realistic with the foreground layers. you can scale up the layer as needed to fill the frame.

get a skydrop, and try to make some volumetrics with particular.
OR —- pop clouds off the sky, maybe with UNMULT and some color shifting, and have them animate in 3d space.
Don’t forget about a lense flair! -
Make the sky much lagrger than the comp, then counter-animate its position in the oposit direction when you move the camera. This is good old 2D parallax, regardless whether you are using a plugin or stock footage.
