This should be a breeze with a locked tripod shot. And you don’t even need C4D to do it. I would put the shot in After Effects, create your text, make it a 3D layer. Then rotate and scale as needed, and maybe play with some overlay modes or slight masking (cracks, grunge) to make it look more real.
Also, don’t make the letters pure white. Try to make them match the white balance of the scene. Hope this helps, and good luck!

No problem, glad to help when I can. Sometimes all you need is another set of eyes on the problem 🙂
Just curious, which program are you assembling in that doesn’t use masking?

Could you not run it through After Effects, using Object buffers to mask what you need, and then import the results with alpha channels back to your non-masking software?

I think what you want is a UV Pass instead of a Normal Pass. Once you Apply YouVeelizer or Re:Map to your reflection image using the UV pass, it should break up the reflection image and give the illusion of that image being reflected on your planes. I think.
Some things are just hard to communicate with written words 🙂 Someone else may be able to confirm this idea or give another solution. Good luck!

Could you pre-render the puppet effect with alpha, import that and then put the spin on it?

There is an app called File Wrangler that allows you to quickly rename files in a folder anyway you want. So you could put each image sequence in a folder and re-number them from zero. May be worth a look.

Dan Ebberts has this expression for something similar, maybe it will work for you?

Might be a little late now, but I think this is what your looking for?

Ok, I was afraid of that.
My solution is to use a slider on a null layer inside the L3 comp to control the drip angles. It works fine, I just have to take the extra step of going inside each L3 and adjusting the angle of the drips. I was hoping for something more automatic but I guess sometimes you just gotta do it the hard way. 🙂
Thanks again for your time!

Hey thanks for your time Dan.
Would there be any way to go the opposite way like I mentioned? Could you have an expression on the L3 comp that tells the drip inside the L3 comp to be a certain angle?
