    Andrew, after watching your tutorial “Creating a cool 3d Room” I was wondering, is there a way to have the room be a maze. Is there a way in after effects to make the camera take turns and go down other hallways? Sort of like in a video game.
    Anyones input work be appreciated.
    Thank you much =)

    Until Andrew gets back, you’ll want to check this other COW tutorial –

    Hey Roland, I remember that tutorial!

    The basic idea is to just keep making walls and more walls. Use the top view to compose the walls and them animate a camera through them. Of course you want to add the floor and ceiling.

    You’ll be ready for Wolfenstein 3d in no time.

    Roland,
    Your tutorial was a big help. The dementions of my corridors are purposely different from yours. I am making my maze with different footage. What I mean is that the ceilings are taller and the hallways is more narrow. I think because of this my hallway composite is not connected to the other hallway composite. I hope that made sense. Is there a mathamatical formula or something to fix this besides manually adjusting each one? Can you tell I am brand spankin new to AE?
