Darby, works like a charm (course you already knew that :))
The way you set it up , at this point is without a null, but one master to set up the rest of the panels ? Guess that would be the case I added another 300 x 300 panel and made the anchor point -300,0,0 and the orientation 0,90,0. However somewhere I lost it and the position number are a bit screwy, though everything lines up.
Is there a formula to work from ? I assume the numbers change depending on the comp and solid size (or whatever I’m using as a 3D layer). Doing it by the numbers makes much more sense.

Wow, yeah Dean has done some amazing work.
https://theanvel.com/free_aeps_detail.php?aeps=153 is the one with the hallway and room. Blows me away. And yep it’s available now through subscription. Something though very useful and am considering it.

Dave , yes I knew to do that, just hadn’t thought about lining them up with the orthographic views.
Thank you for the reply.

I am probably answering my own question. After posting I discovered 🙂 that lining them up from the sides and top/bottom improve things greatly.

Thanks Alan, The alignment is off in the output, not the stage , which is why I was scratching my head a bit. As for viewing the output, I’m just importing back into After Effects. Anyway I will recreate it and attach a zip file. Probably in a day.

Thank you Richard. Over the past few weeks I’m been brushing (no pun intended) on my masking skills in photoshop, so I now know that I can carry those over to AE.
However, in addition one tool that seems interesting is Matte Generator from Digital Film Tools. I haven’t seen anything around though that demonstrates the product except for a small photo on the DFT website. I kind of wonder why no one has a done a tutorial on it. And I’m not volunteering, at least not yet 🙂

Thanks Yikes, you gave me quite a bit to look into. I realized after I posted that AE creates an alpha channel regardless but it’s generally all white. So that was the differentiation as to what I’m looking for. Anyway I’ll pursue these links and tutorials.
Cheers

Yep, it seemed that was the case but wanted to check.

I did watch the video and actually remembered I’ve watched it before however, my original post was probably confusing. I do not have a problem with Vector Masks, the problem is with Vector shapes, out of Photoshop into AE. They show up fine as a comp, but the layers contain no vector shape ? Hopefully I’m explaining myself better.
TIA

Cool Dave, Thank you for that heads up. I might have bypassed it based on the name.
