Adding graphics

We can also add graphics imported in After Effects to the 3D Track footage, which can add visual appeal. So, we will add a location graphic to the 3D Track composition. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Locate the location_Icon.png layer in the Project panel and drag it in the 3D Track composition on top of the Welcome to Lakeland layer.
  2. Now, make the location_Icon.png layer the child of the Welcome to Lakeland layer by selecting the Welcome to Lakeland layer in the Parent & Link field of the location_Icon.png layer.

  1. Now, enable the 3D switch of the location_Icon.png layer to convert this layer to a 3D layer.
  2. Now, change the Transform properties of the location_Icon.png layer as follows:
    • Position: 10.0, -155.0, 0.0
    • Scale: 15.0, 15.0, 15.0
    • Orientation: 90.0, 0.0, 0.0

Figure 11.23 shows these updates:
