  • Trying to figure how to project text on a plane

    In the scene I am providing a link to, I am wanting text to appear on the black panels. I am not doing it in C4D because I am using depth of field and that affects the text. Is there a way to do this without that happening? I thought of just rendering out the panels themselves with the dof off but the panels are somewhat transparent, so that would be lost if I did the pass separately. I tried to use the 3d camera tracker in After Effects but there is too much motion and it will not solve. Anyone have some suggestions? I have worked so hard on producing this and this is all I have left to do. Very frustrated.

    Oh, and I have to smooth out some of the camera motion too, not sure how much this will affect any ideas anyone has.
