Artificial 3D Environment in AE?
Was thinking through some logistical issues with a short production I’m working on, and came up with a question for you all.
Think about those neat QuickTime 3D virtual tour things where you basically stand in one place with a camera, take pics are you turn about 360 deg, then stitch them together in a program to create the QT file. I’m wondering how in AE you could do something smimilar. Say, shoot your actors against green screen, then composite them into this sort of virtual 3D environment. If a character walked to the right, you could pan the “QT” file to match, etc…
😀
Thanks,

Option 1: apply effect>perspective>CC cylinder (in the Cycore folder on the install disc) to the wide background
Option 2: apply effect>distort>offset to the wide background

In some situations you may also consider building a “Cylinder” using the 3D Assistants lite that come with AE. This will allow you to work with normal res footage plus it can avoid seams that you sometimes get with the other methods.

you could render a 360 degree camera rotation as a regular quicktime, and then use time remapping to move left or right. You could use an expression to tie your AE camera rotation to the time remapping. Might be an idea to render at higher than SD resolution, then you can move in and out a bit. Might need to render quite a lot of frames (720?) to get it smooth and turn on frame blending.

Ah!
Thanks, guys, for the fast and clever response! My question has been answered!
