If you start by drawing the floor plane you will always get strange positions for the 3D object inside After Effects. It is recommended to start drawing vertical planes such as the walls. this way you will get the object well positioned inside After Effects 3D environment. also, avoid being to detailed and use too many planes. the more planes you use the less resolution you get for your images (textures).

It seems like you could get the scale of the import to a more reasonable size by scaling down the null that everything is parented to, right? You'd want to parent the camera before you did that, though, I think.

Just a thought...

When I export for After Effects, it splits them up into 4 different png files instead of having them all in one. It has a vpe file but says that after effects doesnt use that format? confused cause thats what you used.

I am using Photoshop CS4 and After Effects CS5

01/21/2011

I don't have the "Export for After Effects Cs3" - option!
And yes, I do have both After Fx cs3 and Photoshop Cs3...

05/22/2012

Export without options: Crtl+shift+E = (.3ds) and the same time (.vpe) and png archives!! for Cs3,4,5 and 6.

12/03/2010

Hi, Naf
you are getting this error because your grid setup is not perfect in photoshop make sure all your grids emanate from the original plane i got similar errors and it took me 5 attempts to get it rt..but dn't give up little patience will do the trick :) andrews thanks man!!

Nice tutorial

02/22/2010

OMG thats freeeekin coool

01/31/2010

great tut andrew.

but yah, it does seem like you will incur an error if you draw more than one plane free hand. all other planes have to be derived from the first or you will get an error... hmmmm, although i wonder if you draw planes so that they remain blue instead of red, that is vp's way of telling you that you are still using the same vanishing point... ?

but one huuuuuge reason NOT to do this is prohibitively large file sizes depending on your original image.

i was working on a 3k image from my digital camera and it just crashed AE outright while trying to load the vpe.

i shrank all the png images proportionally and that worked (you scale pngs arbitrarily as long as the aspect ratio is maintained) but as expected, resulted in blurry textures.

cool way to start the process if you have to do projection mapping in cg though!

thanks again and rock on.

Hi andrew, Hope you and your family is doing well.
My best wishes to them.

So , Let me put some words.
Dear friends.

if you have good speed and bandwidth then you can see any tutorial without problem. or... close all aplication or anything which consume internet bandwith or affect net speed then Refresh and watchh.

Anothe thing. if you are looking for exporting this file to AFTER EFFECT then look the tutorial carefully , the option is not inside the core menu of PS3 but when you open vanshing point window , you will get it by clicking first ICON OF i.e an ARROW ICON ON THE LEFT - UPPER CORNER.

Forgive me for my bad english

thanks,

AniMad

Hello, I am experiencing a similar problem as some of the people previously have. While importing my VPE file into after effects cs3, the picture is appearing as a regular still shot that is rotated slightly to the left with no parent tool or camera. I have been troubleshooting this for some hours now and still haven't figured out what I am doing wrong. What should the presents be in adobe photo shop for this vanishing point to appear correct inside after effects.

02/24/2009

Muy bueno :) saludos desde el culo del mundo, rio gallegos santa cruz jeje.. i follow you tutorial from here patagonia argentina..

Vanishing Point Idea / Question:
I would like to do something similar to this alley shot. However, I would like to take a few pictures of a person and create a 3D object within the "alley" and do a fly-by and turnaround. so the person would have to have at least 75% coverage to look effective. Can you tell me the best way to do this?
Thanks!

Lil tip for the watchers... Holding Ctrl and dragging on a plane will move it at 90 degrees from its self... Alt allows you to choose the angle...

Andrew, I have set up my grid using vanishing point. However when i go pull down the menu to save it out, the option ISNT there to save out to after effects. I am using CS3 Extended and AE8. The only options I have are, "show grids," "show measurements," and "render grids to photoshop." There are 2 other options but they are not highlighted. Am I missing a step, obviously am because it isnt working. Any advice would be appreciated.

02/24/2008

Mmh when I click on file>import the "vanishing point" option doesn't appear, nor does it when I drag and drop it in my project folder... And yes I am running AE 7 Pro

Any tips?

02/20/2008

Hi there.

Hi Andrew,

Just received your Lucky 7 bundle..it's AWESOME! I do have a dilemma however on this "3D Vanishing Point" tutorial. It's just not happening. I'm doing everything like you said and it's not working for me.

In the vanishing point dialog box in Photoshop, the side wall planes are going diagonal instead of up. If I draw it upside down however, it works. After I export it into AE like you show, I get an AE message reading: "Unable to execute script at line 153. After Effects error: Unable to call "setValue" because of parameter 1. The range has no values."

AE imports the files but all the png files are blank, and when I drag the comp into the timeline, there is no parent layer. What am I doing wrong? Any advice would be awesome. Thanks!

09/24/2007

works only in photoshop cs3 professional?
