New 3D Features in After Effects CS6!

Published by John Stanowski on April 12th, 2012 - in After Effects, John Dickinson, Tutorial

Here’s two new tutorials from Jon Dickinson of Motionworks revealing the new 3D capabilities found in the upcoming After Effects CS6. Woohoo!

I also asked John for some random clarifications. Apparently the new 3D layers will cast proper shadows on regular 3D layers and regular 3D layers will reflect onto the new 3D layers. In case you haven’t realized this yet, this means AE CS6 now more or less has built-in shiny, reflective floors like Motion does. Also, if you collapse a precomp with the new 3D layers contained in it, it will “unfold” and behave the same way the regular 3D layers would. And perhaps most exciting of all is that you can mix the new 3D layers with regular 3D layers. For example, you have a 2.5D “postcard” animate in front of and behind one of the new 3D layers, something that’s not possible with the 3D plugin alternatives.

A first look at a new 3D plugin for After Effects

Published by John Stanowski on July 6th, 2011 - in After Effects, Andrew Kramer, Tutorial, Video Copilot

It seems the competition to bring 3D to After Effects is about to increase with the upcoming release of a new plugin from Video Copilot called Element 3D. It’s a particle system which uses 3D geometry. With it you can bring in any .obj file and convert it into particles with amazing material options. In Andrew Kramer‘s first demo he shows us how we can create clusters of… asteroids, molecules, … abstract thingys. But as Andrew said himself, he’s only just scratched the surface with this first look. It’s somewhat been proven with Optical Flares, that when VCP puts out a plugin, they put it out right. There’s likely to be a ton of as yet unseen applications for Element 3D. (My prediction: Imagine buying a plane model from Turbo Squid, popping it into After Effects and making a particle stream set to orient to path. You’ve got a fleet of aircraft ready to interact with AE’s camera and lights!) Watch the demo here.

A way to make Stereoscopic-3D videos with After Effects

Published by Victor Hernandez on August 4th, 2010 - in After Effects, Tutorial

Some days I wrote a post that also talk about this fantastic technique. If you want to remember, you can find out here.

Goran Kraljevic Koehler has posted in AEtusts+ this easy way to make 3D videos with After Effects and 3D Glasses effect. In his tutorial explains a Step by Step way to make a nice Stereoscopic-3D video from an animation in a 3D software. The method that use Goran also can be due entirely with After Effects, but this method works fine. You can find the tutorial here.

So, put your Blue/Red sunglasses and enjoy!

This is that Goran will teach you

Make 3D videos in After Effects

Published by Victor Hernandez on July 28th, 2010 - in After Effects, Tutorial

This is my first post in Aefreemart, I’m Victor Hernandez and I’m going to bring cool stuff about Motion graphics,After Effects, visual effects, also tutorials and much more. Now, the post.

Christoph Keller explains in this video how to work in After Effects with his script Stereo-3D. This script let you make 3D stereoscopic videos that you can see with 3D regular glasses (blue,red). Chris has more videos about his script and work flow in After Effects. (more…)
