In a nutshell, Vanishing Point simulates a 3D environment by creating a simulated 3D projection. While it doesn\u2019t work in every situation, if you have a room with good four-corner perspective, you can create some amazing results.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Here&#8217;s a quick example.

First things first, you need to open your photo in Photoshop then navigate to <strong>Filter&gt;Vanishing Point<\/strong> or simply hit <strong>Option+Command+V<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">You will see a window pop up. In the window, select the <strong>Create Planes<\/strong> tool (<strong>C<\/strong>). Make a small rectangle around the back wall of your Vanishing Point image. Make the box as straight as possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">After you set the edges of your base plane, you can drag the edges of the frame to create the Vanishing Point effect by holding down command. You will probably have to adjust the edges if they aren\u2019t 100% flush with the edges of the walls. You can do this by holding down command and adjusting one edge and corner at a time. If for any reason your plane turns red, you may need to stretch the edges of your frame further in z-space.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"step-2-export-for-after-effects\" class=\"p1\">Step 2: Export for After Effects<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-66332\" title=\"Simulating Depth Using Vanishing Points in After Effects: Export for After Effects\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Export-for-After-Effects.png\" alt=\"Simulating Depth Using Vanishing Points in After Effects: Export for After Effects\" width=\"755\" height=\"174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Export-for-After-Effects.png 1000w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Export-for-After-Effects.png?resize=300,69 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Export-for-After-Effects.png?resize=768,177 768w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Export-for-After-Effects.png?resize=277,64 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Export-for-After-Effects.png?resize=359,83 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Export-for-After-Effects.png?resize=543,125 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Export-for-After-Effects.png?resize=865,200 865w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Export-for-After-Effects.png?resize=994,230 994w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Export-for-After-Effects.png?resize=560,129 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Export-for-After-Effects.png?resize=150,35 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">After you\u2019ve created all four edges in your frame, it\u2019s time to export your video to <strong>After Effects<\/strong>.

By default, the width of the composition will be the same as the width of the image file in Photoshop. You will likely want to change the width of the composition to a standard 1080p composition, but you can simply select one of the presets in composition settings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Depending on your scene, you may need to adjust the rotation of your parent. If you need to move in or out of the scene, I recommend using the zoom feature versus physically moving the camera in 3D space.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tips-for-creating-better-vanishing-points\" class=\"p1\">Tips for Creating Better Vanishing Points<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"depth-of-field\" class=\"p1\">Depth of Field<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-66329 size-full\" title=\"Simulating Depth Using Vanishing Points in After Effects: Depth of Field Room\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Depth-of-Field-Room.jpg\" alt=\"Simulating Depth Using Vanishing Points in After Effects: Depth of Field Room\" width=\"755\" height=\"327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Depth-of-Field-Room.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Depth-of-Field-Room.jpg?resize=300,130 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Depth-of-Field-Room.jpg?resize=277,120 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Depth-of-Field-Room.jpg?resize=359,155 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Depth-of-Field-Room.jpg?resize=543,235 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Depth-of-Field-Room.jpg?resize=560,243 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Depth-of-Field-Room.jpg?resize=150,65 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you want to make your new 3D Vanishing Point look even more real, you should try adding a simple depth of field to your scene. A depth of field can simulate a real-life environment and really help sell your composition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">To do this, navigate to the camera options in your timeline turn the depth of field on. You can then adjust the depth of field by messing with the aperture and blur level.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"lights\" class=\"p1\">Lights<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-66328 size-full\" title=\"Simulating Depth Using Vanishing Points in After Effects: Scene with Lights\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Scene-with-Lights.jpg\" alt=\"Simulating Depth Using Vanishing Points in After Effects: Scene with Lights\" width=\"755\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Scene-with-Lights.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Scene-with-Lights.jpg?resize=300,135 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Scene-with-Lights.jpg?resize=277,125 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Scene-with-Lights.jpg?resize=359,162 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Scene-with-Lights.jpg?resize=543,245 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Scene-with-Lights.jpg?resize=560,253 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Scene-with-Lights.jpg?resize=150,68 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">One of the cool things about working with a Vanishing Point: the layers created in photoshop will actually work in 3D space. So like any other 3D composition in <strong>After Effects<\/strong>, you can adjust your layers to accept 3D lights. This can create some really cool results if you are wanting to integrate 3D motion graphics into your scene.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3d-models-and-text\" class=\"p1\">3D Models and Text<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-66330 size-full\" title=\"Simulating Depth Using Vanishing Points in After Effects: 3D models and text\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PB-Room.jpg\" alt=\"Simulating Depth Using Vanishing Points in After Effects: 3D models and text\" width=\"755\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PB-Room.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PB-Room.jpg?resize=300,139 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PB-Room.jpg?resize=277,128 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PB-Room.jpg?resize=359,166 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PB-Room.jpg?resize=543,252 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PB-Room.jpg?resize=560,260 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PB-Room.jpg?resize=150,70 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">There are a lot of reasons why you may want to put text or objects into your 3D scene. No matter what the reason, it&#8217;s easy to do. Simply turn 2D layers to 3D and place them in your scene. You can also use 3D effects like Trapcode Particular and Element 3D in your Vanishing Point \u2018room.\u2019<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"tutorial-on-vanishing-points-in-after-effects\" class=\"p1\">Tutorial on Vanishing Points in After Effects<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">In this video tutorial from Mikey Borup at PremiumBeat, we learn how to use the technique listed above to create a Vanishing Point room.
