Create a 3D virtual set with Zaxwerks 3D Invigorator

From the Zaxwerks Blog:

This is a three part tutorial lasting 50 minutes. Joe covers the steps to creating a beautiful virtual set, lighting it, inserting the green screen talent and doing the final camera moves. Consider this an Intermediate tutorial because Joe assumes you already know how to open the plug-in and make a Photoshop file.

Topics discussed:

• Creating, positioning and mapping the floor.

• Using 3D Primitives to create columns.

• Importing simple Illustrator files to make furniture.

• Duplicating and rearranging objects.

• Creatively using bevels to make set decorations.

• Setting up lights, light trusses and flares.

• Adding the talent and camera motion.

Prepping complex Illustrator files for ProAnimator

Published by John Stanowski on August 21st, 2010 - in After Effects, Zaxwerks

3Ding your logo from an Illustrator file using ProAnimator is generally a painless process. But there are times, especially when you are not the author of the AI file, when things can get messy. Duplicate objects, clippings paths and other AI tricks can create havoc when opened in ProAnimator. In this new tutorial from the Zaxwerks Blog, Prepping Illustrator Files for 3D, you see just such a complex file getting simplified to make life easier when you move into After Effects.
