realistic text
Hey, I’m working on a video project and I’m almost finished but i just have to add titles. The way i want the titles to appear is to have them look like they are connected to the wall or even written on the wall.
Somewhat like this video

(the titles at the start and end of the video)
Is there anyway to do that in after effects? -

Do you mean on the skateboard (beginning) and the ground (end)? Those are 3D and zaxwerks is the only native AE plugin that does that, probably easier in a real 3D program, many like Cinema 4D (works with AE nicely).
If you do mean writing on a wall, Aharon has a few tuts here:

And Andrew has a graffiti tut, here:

If you really want to try 3D text in AE, here are two alternatives:

In method 1, the expression for Z depth, it’s best to parent all to a Null so you can rotate/move the letters as one unit, it’s done in the first tut referenced on that page.

Yep! This is doable with Invigorator. The “floor” (Entire video) should be mapped to a plane, the absolute color feature should be enabled in this case for the mapping and the text can be animated in a second Invigorator instance with a grunge effect.
If you don’t need the grunge then you could do the text animation in a single Invigorator instance.salut.
