I've created a quick video explaining what I need:
Basically I need to take my flat design and auto create a 3D mockup of it. At the moment I am placing each individual element from the library and then using Envelope Distort using top object. It is taking ages and I need to speed up this process asap (my boss is on my back). Can anyone help? Is there a faster way? Can this be done using a script? If so, how much will it cost me for a quick turn around? Happy for you to email me at my personal address: beefy@beefys-caricatures.com
Forget using Illustrator; there are dedicated tools for producing 3D visualizations now. Mate of mine's been using iC3D for some time and speaks very highly of both it and the folks behind it.
