Floating video on object effect?

What plugins are needed to do the floating video on an object effect that I've seen a few people using here?

Is it a plugin for vegas or a stand alone program like Ultra is?

Mucho gracias amigos

You can get a good result with displacement / height mapping. Not the same a using a true 3D app but more than enough for many things.

thanks for the help, one of my tech guys answered my question, he says the effect is video texturing of an object, very simple to do he says, so thanks for trying to help

If you need that level of sophistication then I think you need more than Vegas as it doesn't support 3D objects. There's probably ways to make it look like it does but....

It's a simple effect, you create a 3d object in a 3d program and you texture a video file to the object, assign a path and green or blue screen the background.

Then you render to avi and use in Vegas over whatever you want

Or you can have the background as a different video in some 3d progs

Since I saw the effect a couple times here, I thought Vegas might have it as an FX or something

Anyway, if anyone wants to float video on 3D objects just look for video testure object in a search engine, it's pretty common stuff
