  • Making a layer rotate when camera is near

    Hello

    I need some help making layers rotate as the camera moves close. I have a grid made of triagles all separated into layers with the anchor point on the bottom edge of each triangle, as the camera gets close to them I want them to rotate on the x axis pivoting from the bottom edge of each triangle making a maxican wave-ish kind of effect. If possible I would also like the triangles to have a pendulous decay and a randomising factor to the level with which each triangle is affected ..
    and is there any way of copying an expression to multiple layers (around 250), or maybe have this expression/s attached to the camera instead targeting the other layers.

    Sorry for the long post I’m not new to expressions but completely inept at doing any writing or really heavy modifications.

    anyone out there I would be bloody greatful for a leg up

    ta
