Tutorial: 3D Paper Crumple with Freeform AE
Rob Birnholz has a fantastic new tutorial out about making a 3D wad of paper in Digieffects FreeForm AE. He says “Next time you get a frustrating assignment that you didn’t ask for, don’t crumple it up and throw it at your boss’s face. Now you can easily call it quits within After Effects! Rob uses the example of creating a paper crumple transition to show off the Digieffects plugin Freeform AE. Who knows… this tutorial might just save your job.”

Rob released Professional Training for the After Effects Camera Toolfarm Expert Series a month ago and it has been getting rave reviews:
Very, very nice tutorial – great projects, great teaching – Mark Spencer
Just saw the After Effects Camera Training video from Rob Birnholz and it’s outstanding. I thought I was pretty good with the old AE camera, having used it for many years, but Rob made me aware of several new techniques and tricks I had not encountered before. Way to go, Rob. – Jack Tunnicliffe, Visual Effects Artist and Owner of Java Post Production, Regina, Saskatchewan
