    Modify 3D layer Z position by the Luminance value of another layer

    Posted by David Castaneda-rexmalone on April 27, 2005 at 5:34 pm

    Is it possible to modify the Z position of a 3D layer by the Luminance or transparency value of another layer using expressions?
    Just trying to recreate a more realistic Displacement effect than the one found under the Distort menu by animating the Z position of each one of a group of illustrator shape layers.
    Thank you very much for any suggestions?

    Can’t do it with native After Effects. Check out Color Sampler in Digital Anarchy’s Anarchy Toolbox.
