    hi. i want to know whats the best way to put a background of any kind on something. like i got pictures and i want the camera to come from the back and then turn to the front, but the back of the pictures looks the same as the front. i tried to duplicate the picture and moving it it like 1 pixel back and turning it into any fill color and then parent the picture to the back, is there a better way ?

    That’s actually how I’d do it. That’s pretty much the way it;s been done. But if anyone else has suggestions – I’m definately listening.

    Hi

    I usually use this opacity expression from Dan.
    if (toCompVec([0, 0, 1])[2] > 0 ) 100 else 0
    Apply it to either one’s opacity.
