3D Planes still look like 2D!
Hi, So recently (Less then 10 hours ago) I started to work on a lyric video that I wanted to use a 3d motion background with, But as I turn the planes to 3d and add a camera, If I zoom in or out It's like as if its still 2d! I don't understand why, I tried looking for settings but I couldn't find anything. Unless Im not understanding 3d? It's probably one of the most basic things to do in hitfilm, but normally I never really need to use it so I've never really learnt. Isn't 3d something thats supposed to feel like what ever it is, it's "Surrounding you"?? The only other thing I can think of that might be the cause of this is some sort of effect I have no clue about...
Thanks far in advance for you help, Cheers! :)
P.S. Not sure if I should post proof..
PPS: Inspired by the one who made this!

Heya!
can you post a project file? I'm sure we can take a look and see what's going on
-
I have to ask if you've actually pushed layers forward and back in 3D space on the Z axis?
-
Sure! Here it is!
-
No I have not done that, I'll give that a go and I guess I'll let you know.
-
Tried it and didn't like how it just stretched these... uh.. horizontal lines?
-
@fxhomer173436 Do you mean you want the 3D to look more like this?
versus this?
Or do you mean more like this?
Also, I would recommend pushing your New Plane (the one right above the camera), further back in Z space

No no, the text was fine, its the plane with the fractil noise I wanted 3d, Kinda wanted the text where it was parented to the plane so when the camera moves around its like it stays in the one place.. How do I push it back? I don't see the option for it... I want to kind of create something like this...

I do believe I have everything need to make it, just need to learn how to...Also I made a new project cause I thought maybe I did it wrong somehow so I tried it a slightly different way but if I move the camera around you'll still see just plane black plane..
-
I can scale the plane np, but that doesn't help...
-
Ah, ok I got it. Unparent your text layers from the background, then select the fractal noise plane, then you can adjust the z position (third number in the position property in the control panel) to push it back a bit. The different in movement between your text and your background will help sell the 3D effect

Here I have recorded a small video of what I see, I don't really see the difference...
