Align Layer to 3D camera
I have a project with a very complex camera path and I would like to be able to have some layers come into frame and square up perfectly to the camera’s view…
I’d like to be able to run the camera on its path, pick a point to stop the camera move for a moment, and then drop in a 3d layer and square it up to camera… at that point I will let the camera run its path and the layers should come in and out in 3d space as the camera follows it path/starts/stops.
I can do it manually, but it tedious!!
I thought I had seen a plugin to do this for you very quicky. Set your 3d camera, and then use the tool to line up a 3d layer flat to the camera’s current view… Is this tool still around? Or still needed? Is there a quick method of squaring a 3d layer up to the camera view??
Thanks!

Yeah I had thought about using this method… I had done the tutorial on how to make a ring of Cow logos, evenly spaced in 3d, its here on CC and this is just a more complex version of that tutorial.
The problem is my client wants a few things in specific spots with very specific camera moves… the Null would work, and very well, except I am going to have to tweak this thing over and over (I just know it!) so it would be much faster to be able to just delete layers and then drop them back in again from the camera view and have them already square to camera.
You would think there would be a quick way to do this!!
Thanks for the response Dave, you’re the best =)

Hey I found it!
Its a tool that’s part of Zaxwerks Layer Tools package! Too bad the whole package is $150… Depending on how my day with client goes I might just have to invest.
Thanks again for the input Dave =)
