Isolation Room with padded wall
Hi to all, I’m trying to create a 3d room with AE 7.0 Pro, and I’m not really sure how to do it. I mean, the room itself it’s quite simple, but to add deepness to the scene, I want to make the wall padded. Someone could give me an hint or two?

Well, after effects’ layers will always be flat, so even if you use a texture that fakes the lighting of the padded surface, at a steep enough angle, the illusion will always break.
If you can’t live with that, you’ll have to resort to a true 3d program, or use Invigorator to model a 3d environment within After Effects.

Filip’s right on the money here.
AE is limited here, but you can always trick the viewers into believing there’s more there than there really is. Have you tried enabling Depth of Field on your camera? It can make your scene look more realistic and could make it look deeper. Suddenly, not everything will be in focus, and the wall at the end of the room could look further away and its textures won’t have to be as precise since they will not be razor sharp.
Good luck!

Just for the hell of it, I decided to make the basis for a padded wall texture in AE:
