Hello!

Does anybody know any tips how to parent a 2d layer to 3d layer(or null)?

I want have 3d null to travel freely in 3d space and 2d layer to follow it but only in X and Y dimensions.

Did that make any sense? A bit like orienting to camera but so that it always stays "straight".

m3D=thisComp.layer("3D Null");
m2D=m3D.toComp(anchorPoint);

[m2D[0],m2D[1]]

Apply expression to the position of the 2D layer.
