wow! sounds like you went to a lot of trouble for this. thank you so much.
unfortunately, for the time being i am working in AFX CS6 and can’t open the file.
it sounds terrific though.
thanks again.

not usually when one is mine, 😉
but we did it this time!
thanks.

looks like i may have figured it out. using a stroked square shape, the echo effect, scale property and the loopOut(“cycle”). I’m attaching a CS6 version of the project file and the embeded video to show what i did.

continuous square tunnel dolly

WOW. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this.
they all look great but can they be looped infinitely so the tunnel looks never ending?
that seems to be my main problem. every time i try the a simple loopOut expression there’s the inevitable jump frame.

thank you for the reply.

Yes something like that except you would see the lines/edges converging in the center. so it sort of looks like a funnel. I know how to do the loop like you showed, (i think its shape layers, scale and loopOut code), it’s the converging lines that are throwing me.

here’s a sloppy example of what i’m thinking.

Hi. I saw this post and figured I’d add to it rather than start a new thread.

I’m trying to find out if there is a way to easily animate into a one point perspective grid like the one attached. and to make things more complicated, can it be in an infinite loop? And can it be done without 3rd party plugins?

i’ve scoured the forum and the internet as well and can’t seem to find what i’m looking for. Can anyone here help me?

Thank you all again.
