Text projection
Posted by Elcritic on July 19, 2007 at 3:07 pmI want to achieve an effect of projecting text into intersecting walls. Is there a way that After Effects recognizes those intersecting solids and continues the projection with the correct deformation?

If your looking for the *correct deformation* what I think you are saying is that a wall not at a perpendicular angle to a projector will *stretch* the image…you could achieve this by simply scaling disproportionatelly (sp?) the text size and defocusing it on the wall closest to the camera.
