I’ve tried FreeForm as well. I feel like it could work, but I can’t seem to adjust in from any camera but the front. https://i.imgur.com/fRJrykn.png
If you saw the video from my first post, then that was rendered from the view on the left. The view on the right is just the top of the 3D composition and you can see the motion path I want the logo to bend around. My problem with using FreeForm is that I can’t seem to manipulate the grid or do anything other than highlight the grid points in the top view. I can warp the image using FreeForm all I want in the front view, but whenever I try to use it from the top view, which I guess is my “camera1,” then nothing budges.
I unfortunately have CS5.5. I tried Walter’s tip and it produces too flat a look. I suppose I could keep trying, but I’m looking for some true 3D deformation. I guess AE doesn’t offer much of that by default
