Or if you want your Text to look 3D’ish with the Texture you Want use the ” Shatter Effect ” on the Texture Layer you want to use and change the follow settings :

Under Shape
———–
Patter = Custom;
Custom Shatter Map = Your Text Layer;

Under Both Force (1 & 2)
—————-
Force = 0;
Radius = 0;
Strenght = 0;

and that pretty much it, you can play with the ” Extrusion Path ” for more 3D look there is some limitations to this so keep that on mind.

what you can do there is just repeat the texture in the materials tag…

1- Click the Material apply on the Sky object.
2- Click “Tag”
3- Reduce ” Length U ” & ” Length V ” ’till you find the right setting for the scene.

it will work even better if is a ” Seamless Starfield Texture ”

P.S. i saw you have check Specular on the Material, you better off Unchecking that 🙂

by the way here is one NO NEED for Mask.

here is a sample, it is done in 3D Space using masked ring
is CS5.5 file.

Thank you, it was completely done en After Effects Using E3D, going back to topic.
one thing i can think of just right of my mind right now is what i did in that same video i post it.. when the Light Of Bean go throu the clouds.

– Now is the Ring Created in AE?

i guess a have a few ideas, lemme see if i can put then in practice an let you know or just give you the Project file for you to check it out.

here is one close to what you wrote in the 1st post.

Pretty sure you ring has a alpha channel in the middle so you can do the follow:
– Draw a mask cutting it in half, (Feather at needed.)
– Duplicate that layer and inverted the Mask.(same here feather as needed).
– Move the Square Layer between the Masked Ring Layer (Ring close to Camera will be Top layer and the other bottom layer)

Top Masked Layer – Square Layer – Bottom Masked Layer…

[Isaac Borjas]

or you can just :
– create a Layer,
– Draw a Search type Mask, (Feather the mask or add Fast Blur)
– Move the Anchor Point of the Layer were is needed, so that way the layer a.k.a search light will move as desire.

i may have a slide idea what you trying to do, if is like i’m thingking you can use the RING opening as a ” Track Matte ” you need to play with the right Matte to go for what you are looking for.
i did something like that in 3D space in this video (Check 40 sec. into the video)

[Isaac Borjas]

looks quite a bit a challenge which i’m on it for it….
send me the link for the Original Footage and i’ll work on it.

[Isaac Borjas]

If you can’t find who can help, i can give you a hand with that shot.. just upload the Footage and how you want it (Render Output format,What you want on the shot).

P.S. when you do Track on Mocha is better copy that Data to Clipboard and create a Null object and copy that Track Data there
