After Effects CS6 offers a new ray tracer and 3D capabilities. But does that mean you’ll no longer need special 3D plugins from Zaxwerks or Boris? John Dickinson talks to Zax Dow about the continued relevance of 3D Invigorator and ProAnimator.

I’ll walk you through making a T-shirt Blowing on a Clothes Line in the wind in this Toolfarm exclusive tutorial. I use three still images, 3D Flag and a camera to create this clip that looks as if it was shot over the canals of Venice. This tutorial was done with Adobe After Effects 7.0, but you could also recreate this with Apple Motion 3.

Check out the tutorial now!. A free demo of Zaxwerks 3D Flag is available if you don’t own it. It’s a great little plug-in.
