Trapcode Echo Space

[Mylenium]

Not really. AE’s layers are always double-sided and show the same both on their front and backside – Echospace doesn’t change this. You might be able to fake it if you apply two instances of an effect that can use textures (Motion Tile or Texturize for instance) and then apply an expression to fade the image in or out using their opacity controls. There is some code by Dan Ebberts floating around here originally intended for hiding layers facing away from the camera. do a search and you might be able to adjust it to your needs.

One thing you could do is use expressions to link the back side layer to the front sides Position and Rotation. Then set up the Z Axis Position of the back side layer to be -.2 of the front side. This will create a double sided layer.

If you manually duplicate the layers (and link each duped back to each duped front), then select only the Front layers, you should be able to use EchoSpace, the 3D Assistants, or whatever to arrange/animate the layers.

Not ideal, but it beats trying to do it by hand.

fwiw… I just wrote a tutorial for Studio Monthly that discusses replicating layers with expressions.
