3D stroke
hi
it is hard for my I think it is not difficult but I did not get it
What I want to do: with 3D stroke I want to paint a path
– I animated “end” (first keyframe end = 0, last keyframe end = 100)
– this path should go into depth. with x-rotatiom (3d stroke-transform) it is ok
– with “tapper” I animated the “end” that is also ok
What I missed:
a camera should fly just above this stroked path – that means perhaps to link the camera to the path or to link the path to a null and then to a camera
the mask I painted in stroke has no keyframes so how could I link anything to nothing ????
Is this a wrong thought or what could I do to solve the problemthanks again and always with greetings from munich

You cannot access the information used internally by 3DStroke. You have to manually match your camera.

… or use a 3D app such as Cinema 4D or its worthy brethren.

hi gigamaus 😉
Do you own particular as well?
You could use Particular to create the stroke.Use a light as an Emitter and animate the light’s position.
As for the camera movement,just pickwhip the Poi of the camera with the light’s position.In addition to that add this Expression for the cameras’position> toWorld(thisComp.layer(“Emitter”).transform.position)or
try any other of this Layer Space Transforms expressions. -
thanks to all,
hi Julian06
What I did:
– null with the illustrator path and the “emitter” is set to “light”
– solid with particular
– then the emitter with an expression: thisComp.layer(“Null”).transform.position
so solid “particular” is following the path
so far that is ok
now I pickwhiped the camera to the “null” but there is a lot of smoke from particular so that I could not see enough (expression like above). for that I wanted the camera a little bit “higher”
your suggestion was:
toWorld(thisComp.layer(“Emitter”).transform.position)
but there is always an error. (Layer Space Transforms: there is
toWorld(point, t=time) -
Hi
[bembler] “- then the emitter with an expression: thisComp.layer(“Null”).transform.position”
There is an easier way on this one,just create a maske shape keyframe and paste it into the Emitter’s position.Now the light= “Emitter” has got the position data from the path.So no need for the path layer anymore.
Position the camera where you want it to be and parent it to the light Emitter

As for the toworld expression ,it won’t work proberly with this example,sorry.Apparently,it only works with 3d position data. -
danke Julian06
thanks
I will try
