Hello Everyone,
Following the advances in working with 3D layer PSDs in Vegas, which @zzzzzz9125 helped create here: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/psd-layer-splitter-script--145259/
I was wondering if it would be possible to create a 1-click script to make a 3D text extrusion.
I often do this in my work, but it really takes a lot of time and is a mechanical and predictable process, with exact values regardless of the aspect ratio or project resolution.
Here is an example of how I do it:
Steps to create 3D text extrusion in Vegas Pro:
1. Create a text.
2. Duplicate the track.
3. Make this duplicate a subclip.
4. Add the Sepia effect to the Media FX of the subclip, choose the color and bring the "Blending Strength" to the maximum.
5. Change the composite modes to "3D Source Alpha".
6. Change the Parent Comp Mode to "3D Source Alpha".
7. In track 2, add +10 to the Z-position in Track Motion.
8. Duplicate the track and add +10 (=20) to the Z-position in Track Motion.
9. Continue duplicating the tracks and adding +10 to the Z-position until you reach 100.
By doing this, I create a 3D text extrusion, and with the Sepia effect in the Media FX of the subclip, I can change the border color.
to organize the timeline:
10. Group the events.
11. Select all the tracks, group them.
12. DragOff the Parent Track of the group.
13. Collapse only the group with the extrusion tracks.
Finally, the timeline stays clean, I have better visibility, and I can change the Parent Motion and access the main text event to alter the font, size, and color.
This works great for 3D Flat Design, Fake3D, Isometric Design, and others.
Question:
Is it possible to automate this process in a 1-click script?
I don't know enough programming to develop this, but I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help.
