Hello,

You’ve done a very good job!

Is it possible to explain how you’ve created the mesh: When you’ve tracked marker dots, do you import the 3D track data into Flash, or do you creta a 3D mesh in a software like Blender or 3DSMax?

If you use a 3D software, how can you import the 3D into Flash?

Thank you very much for your answer

We’re using the same technique of perspective texture mapping that’s used in 3D Engines like Papervision and Sandy. We defined the points of our mesh by tracking marker dots that were physically drawn onto the actor, and later removed in Adobe After Effects.

I wrote the code as an employee of R/GA and therefore it’s not my code to release.

I love the effect, really nice job. Do you think you will share any of the code. Show how you did it? I would love to learn the effect but i can’t find anything on compositing like that.
