I’ve = got a comp with a camera flying forward while slowly rotating in Z = through a 3D scene (title sequence). I want text layers to be offset = from the camera in front. That’s easy:

 

thisComp.layer("Camera = 1").transform.position +  [0,0,250]

thisComp.layer("Camera = 1").transform.zRotation – 90

 

But I want = the text layers to be moving slightly off-speed with respect to the = camera, camera slowly catches up and passes them, so a variable offset = if you will. And nice if further offset could be tied to opacity (far = away would fade in).

 

I could = manually do this of course but wondered if there was some cool way to do = it with expressions.
