Camera zoom with 3d box
Hey Guys,
Im sorry if this is a really big noob question but I’ve been scouring the forums on how to do this and have yet to find the answer. I’ve basically created a 3d room using a pattern in photoshop. Its a rectangular room without a deep hallway. I’ve added a camera in which I want to zoom and pan the camera left to right. however when I zoom my camera the room walls begin to fall apart and mis-align. I’m not creating the room with the long hallway in which I simply use the motion tile effect (as seen in one of the sites video tutorial). But rather my camera is zooming in, then moving left and right with the back wall fairly close to the frame. So what I’m wondering is there a way to keep the zoom in proportion to the walls to prevent them from falling apart and mis-aligning or is it a matter of keyframing the walls to the right perspective?

Anyone know how this guy created the white background with a slight blackish vignetting? -

The way I see it, from what you wrote, you’re walls may not be aligned correctly to begin with, and it shows more obviously when the camera is zoomed in tight. Go to a different view other than the camera, zoom in close, and see if they are aligned how you thought. It may be that a wall is rotated a little too far, for instance 88 degrees instead of 90.
The white background is just a white 2D solid, with a radial ramp applied to it.

No clue what you’re seeing in your head or your monitor but, I must say, building 3D models of buildings in After Effects is a supremely difficult task. There are few tutorials on how to erect 3d cubes which, if scaled large enough, can easily be considered rooms. I don’t know where to tell you to go to look for these tutorials except maybe here on the cow. Digital anarchy sells a great plugin called 3d Assistant. You basically apply this to a layer and then drop 6 other layers onto the wells for the “Box Creator” effect. Very cool.

They once had a free, limited performance but fully functional 3D Assistant Lite on their site. I do not see it any longer. Bummer.
