Hey Dan
Your workaround is great, thanks!

It seems though, that the below script will only run on the topmost selected layer, not all of them, is there a tweak we could make so as to ensure the script applies to all selected layers?

{
var myLayer = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0];
var temp = myLayer.property("orientation").value;
myLayer.property("xRotation").setValue(temp[0]);
myLayer.property("yRotation").setValue(temp[1]);
myLayer.property("zRotation").setValue(temp[2]);
myLayer.property("orientation").setValue([0,0,0]);
}

Thanks heaps,

Nathan

Okay so what if the layer has rotation and orientation values set, and i need to convert it to just rotation values…

Need a script that looks at a 3d layers rotation and orientation values and bakes them into rotation values only.

Perhaps to make it usefull to a broader range of applications there could be a choice between baking to Rotation or baking to Orientation.

Anybodies help with this would be spectacular!

I thought I had solved the problem with help from a few forums,

Now I realize the problem is deeper.

My end goal would be a script that looks at a 3d layers rotation and orientation values and bakes / merges them into rotation values only.

Does that make any sense lol?

Checked Scripting section of motionscript and worked it out…

Thankyou so much!!

hmm scripting looks fun!!

I love the scripts that I have so much in fact that I customized the launch pad to accommodate them!

Dan,

You are the man!!

That’s twice you’ve saved me now,

I owe you big time!

Do you have a donations system through motionscript you could refer me to?

I think all your hard work and support to the community deserves some repayment!

By the way,

Would it be WAY harder to include in the script a way to undo the entire operation rather than having to undo multiple times to get back where I started?

Thanks so very much

Hey Dan

Okay Wow,
Its so simple
I worked it out!!
when the interpolation methods finally made sense it was an amazing moment!
I was having difficulty understanding the relationship between the inputs but then suddenly it all clicked!
wow, what a powerful function!

I am on the right track now

Thanks for you help and time!

Best wishes

(PS.
is it normal to get so excited about a line of code. I am smiling so hard my cheeks hurt… and over an expression… what a geek).

Hey Dan,

Thanks for your fast response!
After having the night to think about it I have come to realize I could simplify my needs and even improve the function of my expression..

All I need is a slider that will control the interpolation between my 2 values (v3 and B3)

So for example if the Slider is at zero, my value will be v3 and if slider is 100 my value will be b3.

Is this possible?

Again, Thank You very much for you attention!

Kind Regards,

Nathan
