Hi Rachel,

This functionality is also included in iExpressions Camera Bundle.
Compared to the expression from Nathan, the iExpression does not only scale, but also knows the direction in which the layers need to be moved.
You just give an offset and the iExpression moves the layer away or towards the camera by this amount and scales it accordingly.


If you do it on a large amount of layers, you will like the random variant which shifts a bunch of layers like this - all by a different, random amount:


Cheers,
Mathias

Hi again, in the vein of the anamorphic illusions - is there a script or trick to affect the Z of a layer, but have it appear as if it hasn’t moved by scaling it and changing it’s position?

I’ve been eyeballing it but that has to be an easier way or some math I can do.

Thanks,
Rachel
