..thanks Kalle, for your answer at adobeaftereffectsbasics as well.
I’ve attached a pic showing and named after -what i want to do:
“8_ALL 3D Masks – Need to be FreeTransformed from CIRCLED BoundingBox points in Directions of ARROWS,in Active View.jpg”,

1) would your suggestion to precomp all attributes..and use Corner Pin achieve this with my project paths in screenshot 8_..jpg?

Cheers,

Thanks Dave,
i’ve tried AE’s Free Transform but it does not allow Skew,Warp,Distort or esp. Perspective as PS does. I even tried selecting specific vertices to force skew\distort but AE still transformed the mask(s) as if all vertices were selected.

Thank you Kalle,
for the quick reply as well, mine would have been as fast had i known.

– i’m using AE v12.1.0.168,
– Falloff settings: Smooth, Radius=500, Falloff Dis.=10000
..and the Shape Layer is “Auto Scaled” to z=5000 pixels, but at any distances its surface light reflection remains unchanged,.

Talk soon,
Jeff

…to use a Script that force the same number of vertices on every mask, but it only works with Keyframes.
In the mean time, to meet deadlines i’m trying to write a ExtendScript to address this issue.
Thx, talk soon,

Thanks Jason,.
“..you’re asking to copy shape layer paths to a mask on a solid layer,.” = YES, copy or script multiple Shape layer paths simultaneously into Mask path Keyframes.
So each Shape path would become a Mask path Keyframe.
D’ya know how?

I would have had to correctly assume all that as well had you not replied since any numbered question was ignored or answered incoherent with the question. I still appreciate your attempts to answer my many (3) questions considering your time constraints, but as usual i’d also written to additional user forums and received direct answers from experienced or familiar users at https://forums.adobe.com as i’d hoped.
cheers Dave,
Jeff

– i’ll assume you can’t or won’t test pasting masks,
– i’ll assume you don’t know how to read photoshop doc. aspect ratio,
– thanks for almost confirming AECS6 bug,
cheers
