3D Clouds in After Effects cheat

[zim9000]

Ok, I just had to share this video I stumbled across on an amazing way of making a regular 2D jpeg image look like its moving in 3D space :O He shows it being used on more than just clouds as well.

This one blew my mind as well: http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/animating_a_still/

Oooo, that is nice! Off topic here but have you tried out the new 2.61 version of Blender yet Knightly? The camera tracker is built it now !

Yes I have! I like it! I have to verify that my archaeology project still works in it though -- but it's really getting solid and the node based compositing my end up replacing shake here in not too long.

If they would add rotoscoping to it, I'd drop it in a heart beat.

I also figured out how to export the 3D camera tracked data to After Effects All the points show up as Null Objects! If I can get a good screen recorder to work without massive files size outputs, then I will make a video showing everyone how.
