nice to see a tutorial from an author that have absolutely no idea what he is doing.
its a expression tutorial but he doesnt know how to script
its a copypaste job :D
Take it easy man… :)
hoho now, i do know expressions.
i just don’t fully understand the math behind “toCompVec([0,0,1][2])”
I do know that it gives the vectorposition of the layer in Z axis from the camera’s Point of view.
I also know that the <0)*100 part is a faster way of doing
if(toCompVec([0,0,1][2]) < 0){100}else{0}
so there you go ;)
the new expression should read:
if(toCompVec([0,0,1])[2] < 0){100}else{0}
thanks for that expression because it is great to use with putting labels on DVDs and other 2D objects that need to live in a 3D space.
Yo Thonbo, take it easy. He pulled my card so it’s all good! :D
Very handy tips. Thanks
Sweet :) Look forward to watching!
i needed this two months ago so badly!!
great
Look Goods!! thanks bro.
Beautiful.
wow…… i hit play and i hear “have you tried honey bunches of oats” and it scares the crap outta me
Love the technique for assigning a separate image to the back of a 2d layer. Well worth watching!
Definitley worth watching. I believe Jorrit is like 16 years old or something and from the Netherlands, so the fact he’s posting this tutorial for you hobbyists/semi-professionals/professionals in english, and you can even learn something from it, is already amazing in my opinion.
The fact he doesn’t know exactly what the expressions mean is just because he didn’t have the math classes for that yet ;)
Great tut Jorrit, keep it up!!!
Yeah, some issues with the language, but the result is cool, great tutorial!
thanks for the tutorial man. the expression is very useful – one to hang on to and remember, and just came at the best timing. keep em coming :)
Nice tutorial! Here’s my version:

Thanks for this tutorial man. I had to do motion graphics for a Vegas theme club promotion event and I need to spin playing cards with live footage in it. This tutorial really helped.
