making a PSD file into a 3d plane with bumps
Hi,
Im trying to make a video of this flying on a road in AE..i have a piece of road done in Photoshop. I intend to bring it into AE to make it as if the road leads up to a cliff. So it makes a slope. What im havin now is just a flat plane of road. i need to make it look uneven. A little wavy when u look at it…
Is there any plug in’s i need to use?
thnks

You can make it a 3d plane, but you won’t get bumpiness. You could possibly get waves in the road with a plug-in from Digital Anarchy called3d Layer, so purchase and have fun.

Re:Shade/Shape will do what you want:

Check out the demo.
Use another layer as the “Shape Alt Source”, most examples in the gallery use Alpha, not what you want.
I put Ramp on a new layer precomped it as use it as above for a eerily symmetrical dome mountain.
The Plugin also does bump mapping using a source of you choice. It can give some pretty amazing results, I got a fur-like effect from a course sand bump map and the right tweaking.
The only tricky part is learning what maps give what results.

An oldie but a goodie in this case would be Forge Freeform.
