Hello. I am looking to create something like the reels of a slot machine in a 3D space in AE. I was thinking this could be solved with a cylinder shape in 3DI wish to be able to also apply image assets on the surface of the reels and these assets - I wish to be able to bend to the shape of the reel. I would like to have some camera effects of say, the camera moving in around and towards/away from the reels - essentially have these reels moving in 3D spaceI'd like to make it appear as if the reels are spinning (and change the speed of the spinning) - some blur effect? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Here's a VERY simple example of what you can do quickly and easily with the native CC Cylinder effect, demonstrating that it also recognises camera moves etc in AE 3D space.

Obviously with a bit more time a much more polished look can be achieved. Reach out if you'd like the project file to assess.

I'm working on a project with a similar goal to OP and it would be really helpful to have a look at the project file for that cylinder test if you still have it

Hi. It really depends on what look you want to end up with. If you want it ultra realistic then Mylennium is right, if however you want it less so then the CC Cylinder effect might do what you need. You can create the images moving in a flat pre-composition then in your main comp add the effect and play with the Rotation and XYZ position settings to simulate the camera.

Good luck with that. Not an AE job unless you have plug-ins like Element 3D and even then there are limitations. The default CC Cylinder effect that comes with AE is way too limited, anyway. You may even need to learn/ use a real 3D program, depending on how complex the 3D interaction is. Otherwise consider a simpler, static 2D version.

That's too bad. Thanks for the info.
