roulette wheel / 3D camera
I’ve been wracking my brain trying to come up with a way to create something in AE that essentially resembles having the camera in the center of a roulette wheel, watching the images circle around.
was wondering if anyone had tips for laying these images out in a 3D circle? is there an expression that could be used? just eyeballing it doesn’t seem to really do it. I’m thinking at least 8 images, but probably more like 16.
I don’t know… just curious… any help is appreciated, but this is all just for fun in my spare time.

I think this tutorial is essentially what you’re asking for:

cool yeah, that is basically it. or enough to help me get through this. yeah, I wanted to sit the camera in the middle of it and have the images rotate around the camera (or the camera rotates) and eventually zoom in and out of various images. no, no realistic looking roulette wheel.
thanks for the tutorial link!

I once created a short cyclinder, and mapped videos to the back of it (inside of it) and then adjusted the depth so the camera was in the middle. But that’s harder to have seperate videos side by side, unless you create a 2d video that has scrolling multiple screen boxes in it, and then map that to the cylinder. [And to be honest, that was done in BorisFX, but I’m sure After Effects has similar options]
Probably the ring tutorial is better.
But I’m on ooolllddd technology (AE5, OS9) and dunno if I can do that yet. =P We’ll see. I’ve posted a question about nulls.
