Re: How can you create the perfect corkscrew spiral in After Effects?
Colin, you genius, this is perfect!
The only trouble is I’d like the spiral to move in the z axis as well (like a cork screw), so I added this line:
x = radius * Math.cos( theta );
y = radius * Math.sin( theta );
z = radius * 3;But it didn’t work. I tried to figure out if it was the fact that the layer wasn’t selected as 3D, but there was no option to select the light as 3D and when I clicked around the other layers, I got a message “Effects using cameras or lights should be applied to 2D layers.”
Does that mean it’s just not possible or that the z line I added was just nonsensicle?
Cheers! 😀
