    Hey All-

    For a client, I am trying to make a camera “travel” through what looks like a PVC pipe. I saw the tutorial online, but it is more busy than I need. Is there a simple way to move a camera through a pipeline without creating a 3D pipe? Also, How would I travel in/out of said pipe for the intro/ending…

    Please let me know any tips you got!

    I suppose by createing 2 circles — one inside the other — and making them grow over time until the first and then second disappear this would be a start, do you know what I’m getting at?

    if you just need a straight pipe, you could use cc cylinder on a layer, make the radius small, rotate x 90 (in the effect settings) and animate the z postin (again in the effect controls).

    you could add effects above cc cylinder for texture, or even precomp the layer to then add a variety of textures to make it seem like dirty or scratched pvc pipe.

    It’ll be on your original AE disc. Stick it in and click on Install Cycore Effects :o)

    While you’re there, you should check you’ve installed Keylight and all the other delicious goodies that are on the disc.

    Cheers,
    Ben
