  • Text Characters Uniform 3D Rotation

    Posted by Matei Focseneanu on November 9, 2020 at 5:52 pm

    Let say I have a simple text (first image) :

    It’s all in 3D and I enabled the “Enable Per-Character 3D” of its Text property as my goal would be to have all individual letters to rotate on Y axis.

    The problem is I can’t do otherwise than get each letter which its own angle, due to the kind of view of the camera with a vanishing point (2nd image).

    I’d like to get what’s in the 3rd image, with all letters rotating totally simultaneously with the same angle (with a somehow vanishing point set to infinite).

    Would that still be possible without separating each letter and moving each one separately ? How could I perform this?

    Thanx to everybody that can bring me some help, I’m very beginner on AE.

    The easiest way would be to add a camera with the minimum angle of view possible: 0,01°
    That will be very close to an isometric perspective.

    (Note that due to the loss of perspective, this will look exactly the same as scaling the letters from [0,100] to [100,100])
