Camera and 3d layer positioning
Hi, i’m a total newb with expressions. I’m doing a sky replacement but i want the sky to stay the same distance away from the camera through out the timeline. the reason i made the sky a 3d layer is because there is some camera swivel and panning that doesn’t look natural unless the sky is a 3d layer. I was thinking an expression that takes the z position of the camera and the z position of the layer, figures out the difference and maintains it regardless of where i move the camera. Parenting isn’t giving me the effect i want. thanks

well, i found a solution that works pretty well, any other ways to do this?
NewZ=this_comp.layer("Camera 1");
[position[0],position[1],NewZ.position[2]+"the initial difference"]; -
I would have thought separating the dimensions of positions of each, then parenting the Z axis of the sky to the Z axis of the camera would have worked.
