Ahhhh….

Just saw that Lite has the Wind deformer.

I’d use that instead of the Bend Deformer. It’s much easier to get an organic look and you’ll get it done much faster and with more flexibility.

Link below has a quick example.

If you have a CC version of After Effects you can do this with Cinema 4D Lite (included with AE CC). It will be a bit of a learning curve, but well worth the time.

Basically you’ll create a Plane and modify it with the Bend Deformer. You can use Bend Deformer’s coordinates and falloff to get the desired effect.

You’ll have to learn a bit about C4D workflow and AE integration before taking those steps, but once you’re there it will be pretty easy.

Here’s a link with a tutorial to get you started…

There are several more helpful tutorials on the site for C4D Lite and the full versions of C4D.

Best of luck!

Thanks for the reply Vishesh.

I’m almost certain I’ve been able to highlight the individual parameters
(by clicking on the text) for functions such as copying and pasting.

This is not working for any of my plugins.

If you twirl down your text layer you’ll see an Animate option just to the right. Select the Tracking option and then keyframe the Tracking Amount to your liking.

In your AE file drop-down menu there’s an option called “Collect Files”.
You can use this to gather all of your current project assets (including the AE file) into one folder on your hard drive.

The “u” key is the shortcut you’re looking for.

Tapping it once will reveal the keyframed properties.

Tapping it twice (rapidly) will reveal any properties that have been modified.

I think you may be looking for “frame blending”.

November 9, 2011 at 1:44 pm in reply to: Scaling up without ruining up position

If I understand your question correctly, it’s a pretty simple task.

Parent the layers you would like to scale up to a null object and use the null object’s scale to resize.

Hope this helps.
