Expression request

Hi Guys,

 

I tried to stay away from After Effects and concentrate on sound - but I have failed! I am hopelessly addicted to AE - there is no turning back!

 

I have a question about expressions. I have started getting my head around them, but was wondfering if one of you had some advice offhand on the following.

 

I have a scene set up - very simple, 3 Solids, one camera and a Null object - all 3d.

What I want to do now, without having to work out the math and angles (because I am lazy) is have the three solids duplicated, and placed at 45degrees on the "X" axis, in 3d space with the bottom edges touching the top edges of the layers below. I then want to duplicate again, and put a further 45degree on the "X" axis to create a ceiling. To end up with something almost, but not quite, entirely unlike this....

I would like to know if an expression can be used over a script that creates a specific shape, because I might like to add or remove solids depending on what I want to create.

 

To be honest, This is not something I need for a current project, but I am trying out a few things, and thought this would be an interresting place to start with expressions (having "wiggled" about as much as is alowed for one compositor!)

 

Thanks guys

 

Pierre
