Hey guys I really dont know what key words to search for to find the solution so Im just gonna post it here cause I need a reply in like the next 2 hrs cause i am rushing like mad. always love ur help so here goes.
Well is there a way where I could do like a book in 3d with bent pages. then export the cam and import that into AE to add 2.5D text. that is bent and wrapped. Now using a null I added for lights from maya. I will place lights in AE to add the appropriate text animation and all that where the text is actually floating above these bent planes.
How do I have AE know how the planes are bent and have the shadows affected according? is there a way? it doesnt need to be totally accurate but can a depth map or 3d channel or something provide such information for AE to work from it?
We are using AE CS3 and Maya 8.0 over here. Thanks guys
