  • Pushing parts of an image forward or backward in z space

    Is there a way of breaking & moving elements of an image forward or backward in z space determined by the images value? Say for example dark values moving back in z space while light values move forward?

    Andrew Kramer uses expression controls to drive his text pieces in z space. I’m hoping to find the technique that uses my image’s value range as a map to drive the z space push. I used to have a VHS tape of Brian Moffet explaining this technique in version 5 but don’t have it anymore. : (

    No tute’s on card dance here so I’ll keep digging the QA archive. Wish there was a freeze time control for the clock : )
