Final Product What You'll Be Creating

Relativity

Either of two theories developed by Albert Einstein…

The Special Theory of Relativity, which requires that the laws of physics shall be the same as seen by any two different observers in uniform relative motion, or The General Theory of Relativity, which considers observers with relative acceleration and leads to a theory of gravitation….


Welp… This tutorial is has nothing to do with either of those. This tutorial is about a wonderful, powerful and highly useful set of four expressions that will control the X, Y, Z scale value, separately or together of any layer in relativity to it’s distance from the camera.

    i’ve seen examples of this on news channels where the camera moves and the weather icon stays the same size, so thanks for this

    I didn’t know you could highlight part of an expression and pickwhip something for just that highlighted part.
    Shows how much I mess with expressions.
    Thanks for the tip.

    but some question…
    if you want the reverse of XYZ Axis’ expression
    instead of getting bigger when the camera is closing up to the layer, you want the layer become smaller what part of the expression should you modify for this ?

    thanks for answering and sorry for bad english
