    Layer Space Transformations are very interesting. Using 2d Effects to create 3d images is really something. Through shear luck I actually managed to use layer space transformations to make bumpmaps using the CC plastic effect. seen here:

    Are there any workshops that go over the space transformations in detail? I have some difficulty understanding them.

    Try http://www.motionscript.com, you will get them easily.

    But an easy (and maybe wrong) way to illustrate the Layer Space Transformations is:

    And the 2 axis in the image above can be given converting the layer’s Anchor Points to the Comp Space (camera affect) or to the World Space (camera doesn’t affect).

    wuh HUH?

    … ooo k…

    anyway I’ve being to motion script and I’ve read through everything, its still not very clear because he just went over from comp and to comp, those are fairly strait forward, check adobe help on reference for layer space transformations, theres alot more to cover, and they’re not well documented either.

    Oh, but basically the LayerSpace Transformations are these: toComp (), fromComp (), toWorld ()

    Thinks in the World Space as a 2D environment and think in Comp Space as a 2D environment affected by the camera.

    Sorry with my explanations are not good, I am terrible at writing tutorials and explanations.

    but you can’t just think of them in 2d space because their 3d space transformations. They scope extends beyond just finding out where a point in 3d space lays on a the composition window Lord Scales. This is the information I’m after, workshops or something to overview these problems and to become more proficient in using them.
