I have created a building, a skyscraper, and I would like to rotate around the building before rising to the top and entering a scene through a window. I would like to have a high res image of a city landscape around the building. Is there a way to take a flat image and turn it into a cyllindar so I can put the building inside? That way while I'm moving around the building, there will be no spots in witch the building is not seen in a city.
Motion 5-OTHER
Hi
You HAVE to "send to compressor" in order to expand export capabilities ...
Interesting ? :-)
Olivier
I'm sorry, I don't understand how that will help me turn a flat image into a curved image so I can put it around the building. Can you expand please?
Sorry
it was the aswer for another question ...
Olivier
No prob. 😀
For your question .. there an heavy and complex "solution"
Slice your background image in 40 exact same sized column !
Import them in motion 5 as an image sequence.
Replicate it in circle
Activate 3D
Rotate your Cell 90° on X
uncheck "plays the movie"
Tell me if it suits you
Olivier
P.S. I only know the commande in French .. may be my translations are bad
I can send You a project example
if you want !!
Olivier
That would actually be awesome. I would really appreciate that example. My email is bcooper@bizassure.com.
I've just send it to you ...
Cheers
You can't wrap images on a cylindar in Motion, a there are no 3D cylinders.
Here's what I've done a few times. We got on a roof top, took a series of photos around us, and stitched them together as a panorama in PhotoShop. We then put that in Motion as a 2D layer. We just keyframed it to move side to side as the 3D camera goes around the square object we built.
Letrom you should zip that project up and post it somewhere to share it with the rest of us. "Secret" solutions defeat the purpose of a public support forum.
Wow, that is a fantastic solution, Letrom! That's what I like to see! I'd love to know how you got the image sequence to line up and be static with the Replicator.
I added to it, made it 3D, added a camera, and keyframed it to rotate around. Download this, watch it playback normally in the Canvas first. Then watch it playback by looking at the 3D scene from a Top view.

Seriously dieing to know what steps you took to make the Replicator act like that. Very impressive, man.
@BenB
I'm gone make a PDF with each step.
Once you know, it's easy to make it again.
The first goal was to create a "world" around a already existing scene ...
Cheers
Letrom, that would be awesome and very useful. I appreciate you being so fourthcoming with the work you've done and sharing it with us.
I really appreciate that you have taken the time to help us out with this. I have followed your instructions and this is what it ends up like. Any idea what I've done wrong?
