Design Question
Hello all. I’m trying to create something as a way to learn different things within AE. Picture yourself standing in front of a corner wall, looking at pictures on your left, then slowly turning your head to the right to look at the other wall. That’s it. That is my step 1 to learn.
I’m making the assumption that this is done with two planes angled at 90 degrees and a camera that pans from one end to the other. Am I on the right track here?
(Later on, I’ll be adding the pictures, but for now this is where I want to start.)

Yup, sounds like you’re pretty much on the right track =) You’ll need two 3D solids rotated on their Y axes and a camera.

Cool. For once my head’s screwed on right.
Now if I want the pictures to be “flying” in, like from behind the camera, past it and then onto the wall, am I better off doing that as a pre-comp on each wall, then create a new comp with the two put in?

You’ll want each pre-comp to have two 3D layers (assuming only one picture is flying on), 1) the wall with no rotation or animation and 2) the picture flying onto the wall. Then in your final comp make sure that the pre-comps are 3D layers (rotated on their Y axes as the solids/walls were originally) and “Collapse Transformations/Continously Rasterize” is enabled for them. This allows the animation of the picture flying onto the wall to maintain its 3D transformations, otherwise the pre-comps would look flat.
