Text wrap around the corner like E! news
Is there a way to make text wrap around the corner of the floor like E! entertainment network did? I tried to used shadow only but that doesn’t bring my text’s texture/color out right. Anyone has any idea what I’m taking about? It’s on E! network.
Thanks

I’m not sure what the E! effect looks like, but it may work something like the new tutorial Eran Stern did called “Tornado Text – Part 1”.
He created a mask path in Illustrator for the shape he wanted the text to move in (a spiral, in his case).
He imported the mask to After Effects and attached the text to the mask.
Then he enabled per-character 3D for the text, and then adjusted the mask in 3D space so the text spiraled up and around the actor.
I’m sure this could be adapted to what you need. I couldn’t find the tutorial on the COW, but it showed up on iTunes yesterday or the day before.

I am not 100% sure of the exact effect you are talking about, but maybe this would work. Maybe you could create a 3D text layer, then duplicate it. Then adjust the orientation/rotation until the layers are lined up the way you want and the mask off the layers at the corner of the floor.
I am sure there better solutions and maybe some of the more knowledgeable folks around here can help.
