Hi, I need some help with linking..
Hi, I need some help with a linking formula.
I want to link the y rotation of one layer to the y rotation of another layer minus 540 degrees, here’s the formula that’s shown once the y’s have been linked using the pickwhip, now how do I include (- 540 degrees) in to this formula?
thisComp.layer(“Light Gray Solid 2”).effect(“Shatter”)(“Y Rotation”)
Also.
I’m trying to create some shapes using shatter but it starts to get complicated once I use the composition camera, I can’t really explain but I need to basically rig the camera system in shatter to respond to the orbit tool in the same way it would had I been using a comp camera, don’t know if that’s possible, I’m guessing I need to use a null but the transform perameters in the null don’t change when I adjust it using the orbit tool, so I can’t see how I can link all the camera x,y,z, rotations together.

For the first part of your question, I believe you should be able to just add -540 to the end of the expression so it reads: thisComp.layer(“Light Gray Solid 2”).effect(“Shatter”)(“Y Rotation”)-540
For the shatter effect check out this tutorial from Andrew Kramer

Oh, cool. That is simple, I was trying to add it to the begening 😀
I’m still downloading the tutorial, I guess even if there is no way to link the orbit tool to shatters camera system, creating a few paths without it isn’t going to hurt to much.
Thanks Erik.
