Steve Holmes is back with a new tutorial and he wants to show you how to "break the boundaries of 3D" in After Effects. He'll remind you that in After Effects we're really only dealing with 2.5D, but will show you how to "achieve that extra .5D" with techniques setting up and lighting your scene. This is a great primer (or reminder) for After Effects lights, shadows, material options, etc. Watch the tutorial at Artbeats.com.
If you like Steve's style you can dig deeper into the Artbeats tutorial section for 15 more free, downloadable tutorials from his Real World Footage Effects series. You'll also find videos from Eran Stern and more.
