  • HELP! combine multiple vanishing point data in one comp … possible?

    Posted by Roman De giuli on February 23, 2009 at 8:15 pm

    Hi folks,

    I want to build a photorealistic 3D-world in AE using the vanishing point feature in Photoshop.

    I can import my .vpe in After Effects, AE makes a comp with the photolayers, a parent for them and a camera layer. Now, inside this comp, I can animate and edit whatever I want.

    Problem: I want to import multiple .vpe’s in one comp and combine them as a 3D-city, but I cannot because of the wired position data of the layers and the camera.

    Idea: Import multiple .vpe’s, delete their camera layer and create a single new master camera for the whole comp, combine the 3D photoobjects together as a nice skyline and animate a ride with the camera.

    I tried out several times to copy position data from one camera or parent to another to bring them more or less to the same space, but that doesn’t work. Eventhough I completely zoom out, sometimes I cannot find layers anymore, they seem to be lost somewhere in space 🙁

    Any suggestions? Could it be that I try something which is not possible with AE?

    Thanks a bunch in advance!

    Cheers,

    Roman
