Hi Mikes

Thanks for that. I’ve seen Dan’s page before but had forgotten it. Definately some useful stuff in there but I’m trying something else now….though not sure if Dan’s approach will still work.

I’m trying to create a similar effect to the Card Wipe transition but in 3d. Card wipe uses a 2d / 3d simulation thing which isn’t right for this project. I have floor plates & Wall plates [in 3d] which are from photographs. Rather than cut them up and animate each tile with parenting and a delay I’m wondering if there is a simple way to do what Card Wipe does but with all correct 3d interaction / lights / camera etc.

I also wanted to use this approach on a series of high rise building shots that I’ll be etching out. However this will be a bit different as some of the shots have alot of perspective. I was thinking of building each face of the building but if I can’t set a kind of vanishing point it won’t look great. Photoshop has that great Vanishing point tool but if I have to create each building this way it will take forever.

Any ideas?

Danny
