You can re-arrange any 3D elements you created in C4D lite by simply moving them around on the stage. You can move the shape layers anywhere you want on the walls or even past them using the position controls in the timeline and they will stick to the walls. Change the Cineware render to Standard Final and the camera to Centered Comp Camera.

Add extrusions and caps to the shape layers.

Open the C4D lite editor and open the C4D file.

Import the saved C4D project and drag it into the comp.

Export the comp as a C4D project using the File>Export menu.

Set the anchor point z value of the shape layer to the z anchor point value of the layer you chose as the parent.

Add a shape layer to the comp, make it 3D, hold down the shift key and parent the shape layer to one of the sold layers.

Add a 3D null to the comp and parent all solids to the null.

Move the camera back until you can see the leading edge of the tunnel you just made.

Add a point light at the center of the composition.

Rotate the first square layer 90º in X, the second square -90º in x.

Rotate the first rectangle layer 90º in Y, the second rectangle layer -90 in y.

Change the z anchor point to the comp height for both square layers.

Change the z anchor point to the comp width for both rectangle layers.

Create a square solid that is 2X the width of the composition and name it square.

Create a large solid that is 2X the height and width of your composition and name it Rectangle.

Here's what I would do to build your virtual set: You can fairly easily move things on a plane. AE is a whole different thing in that regard.

This doesn't work like replacing a texture in a 3D program would.

Same for replacing content - you need to figure out how to structure your project with pre-comps. nor does it actually support 3D objects natively, so this could easily turn into some super complicated proeject where you need to connect and constrain everything with expressions, use elaborate sub-comps with expression linked cameras to 'sync' movements and whatnot. AE doesn't have interactive 3D grids and magnetic snapping of that sort. I'm aware I could just use Z axis or scale to blow up or vanish an object but I want it locked to the perspective and walls. Red moon is a video scaled to match the back wall of the orange/yellow claymation videoīasically I want a grid of sorts that I can import a 3d object onto and animate it along the Z axis but have it locked to where it follows a wall, floor or ceiling path until it reaches the vanishing point or zooms past the camera, without keeping the object perfectly centered and completely covering the camera. Red lines are videos shifted to match the walls of the orange/yellow video. Not really sure of what kind of answer I'm looking for, but if anyone has any advice, links or tutorials relating to this I would very much appreciate it. I'm also looking to make the walls interchangeable with videos, so I can have the video walls open/close or rotate to make more content but always keeping the angle and perspective consistent. Basically I want a grid of sorts that I can import a 3d object onto and animate it along the Z axis but have it locked to where it follows a wall, floor or ceiling path until it reaches the vanishing point or zooms past the camera, without keeping the object perfectly centered and completely covering the camera. I've recreated a similar effect in Resolume Arena by using a fixed camera, shoebox claymation video to lineup and shift my video/picture layers for each wall. I'm looking to create a template of sorts to make consistent content in a one point perspective grid style. Refer to attached pictures for better idea of what I'm going for: Some of these techniques work well with non-alpha content so be sure to try them out to get the most out of your library.Forgive me if this doesn't make sense, but I'll try my best. The methods outlined allow you to add remixed content to your collection easily using the power of Resolume. Backgrounds that are easily customizable and can further extend the use of your existing content. This tutorial also goes step-by-step to show you ways to create versatile backgrounds using a mix of Transform properties and various effects such as VideoWall and Mirror. Techniques to create variations from your existing alpha content are explained, specifically shapes and formations using the Kaleidoscope and Iterate effects. You will learn how content with alpha channels work, along with some of the advantages of using single element loops such as shapes. All things alpha channels are explained in this tutorial for Resolume Arena 4 & 5, and Avenue 4.
