Element 3D, rotation from AUTO ORIENTED Null

[Stefan Hinze]

Ok, so i found something that works:
(Thanks Dan! 😉 )

i found this code here on the froum:
(code below)

Pasted is to a TEMP LAYER (Null), pickwiped the property to the right layer. After that i pickwiped the the XYZ-Rotation from Element3D zu the XYZ-Rotation of the TEMP-Null.

“Pfiel – MOVER” is the Null with the animation and AutoOrientation on it.
“Rotation – TEMP” is a null that only gets the Orientation copied from the Pfeil-Mover.
“Pfeile” is the Element 3D Layer.

Works fine, but i think i can get rid of the TEMP-Null..

Thanks Dan

L = this_comp.layer("Layer 1");
s = L.scale/100;
u = L.to_world_vec([s[0],0,0]);
v = L.to_world_vec([0,s[1],0]);
w = L.to_world_vec([0,0,s[2]]);
sinb = clamp(w[0],-1,1);
b = Math.asin(sinb/this_comp.pixel_aspect);
cosb = Math.cos(b);
if (Math.abs(cosb) > .0005){
c = -Math.atan2(v[0],u[0]);
a = -Math.atan2(w[1],w[2]);
}else{
a = Math.atan2(u[1],v[1]);
c = 0;
}
