Hi all,

There are tons of how-to’s for 3d navigation effects, but I’m interested in something that is seemingly quite simple yet I’ve had a hard time finding anything helpful. I want to create an animation that starts as if you are looking from above at a group of rectangles. The animation then “pans” down (rectangles appear to move upwards and back) to reveal that they are really rectangular prisms, which, when you are facing them head-on, form an image of something. It’s like looking at an object from above, then moving down to look at it at eye-level, and realizing in the process of changing perspective that the object looks very different.

Any suggestions on where I can find more info on this topic?

Thanks!
