What you'll learn

  • How to Create and Animate in After Effects 3D Space
  • How to work with 3D Cameras
  • How to use 3D views to create a 3D Motion Path
  • How to Create 3D Animation using multi-planning concept
  • How to Create and Animate 3D Lights
  • How to work with 3D Nested Compositions
  • How to Create Shadows – The ingredients of Shadows and how to make them appear

Requirements

  • A working Copy of After Effects - Preferably After Effects CC 2018
  • Though this an All Level Course knowing the basics of After Effects will be an added advantage

Description

Learn the concepts, tools, methods and properties that you need to create stunning animations in Adobe After Effects 3D Space.

3D Space is essential to creating animations. Many avoid 3D all together thinking it is difficult and hard to work with.

The Truth: it is Not.

3D elements are excellently introduced in this organized and unique course and are easy to learn and practice.

Learn the important methods and properties in After Effects 3D:

  • Master Cameras: Styles, Presets, Modes, Parameters

  • Work with Lights and understand their effects.

  • Optimize the Views for better and faster results.

  • Create Shadows using the elements that make shadows appear

  • Learn Multi-planning within the 3D space – an essential concept to using 3D


A unique approach to learning 3D:

This course is unique in its approach to 3D. You will learn each element separately and in-depth. You will master every element before moving to the next. Separating the learning experience for each element will allow you to focus on the details that make or break your 3D experience.

You will also fully understand how to work with the views. Mastering and optimizing the orthographic views will make a genuine pro. It is then that you will start ‘seeing’ 3D as easy and simple.

Content and overview

You will start by noting the similarities and differences between 3D and 2D and discovering orientation and rotation and how to use them.

You will learn about multi-planning how to fake it in 2D and how to use it in 3D. This very important step will cement your understanding of 3D in After Effects and will allow you to start manipulating your views in readiness to adding Cameras and Lights.

Moving on to cameras: An in-depth overview of Cameras in After Effects. The different type of Cameras and how they affect your scenes and animations. Mastering Cameras and all its parameters, options, setting dialogue will finalize the conceptual (and practical) learning for 3D.

One of the most impressive features in After Effects is the ability to create lights, mixing 2D and 3D and getting amazing effects. You will get a detailed explanation and practical overview of the Lights system in After effects and how to use them with Text Animations or lighting up still scenes.

Much more is covered in this course – Such as shadows, depth of field, falloffs and much more.

Are you ready to take Your After Effects Skills to the Next Level – The 3D Level?

Join in and Welcome

Who this course is for:

  • After Effects users if intermediate or beginners in 3D, who want to learn 3D in After Effects in a Simple and Concise way
  • Video Editors - Personal or Commercial
  • Motion Graphics Enthusiast

Thank you Louay again for another great course! The concepts of 3-D space and lighting are really tricky, I can't wait to keep exploring with trial and error. Louay does an excellent job of clearly explaining what I have found to be a tough subject. Thank you, good job!

The Highest Rated and Best Sellers After Effects and Video Editing Courses on Udemy.

Video Editing, Animation, Motion Graphics and Visual Effects is what I love creating and teaching, Offline and Online.

After Effects is what I love working with, every day, (except Sundays, my wife and kids won’t let me.)

I learned these the very hard way, very long time ago (since 1985) and I am still on it. It’s amazing when you discover that I used to use assembly language to animate sprites (think of PacMan), Green and B/W screens. Today I am animating Videos in  3D in just a click.

The Path to Mastery starts now. Being in the advertising industry has taught me that precision and a significant attention to details are very important, and makes the difference between a fake and life like animation or visual effect.

What You Will Learn from me:

After Effects: The whole lot. In my course After Effects Complete Course packed with all Techniques and Methods (No Tricks and gimmicks).

Motion Graphics: From simple Lower 3rd to Advanced & Complex Animation up to how to get your 2D character to walk around. 

Visual Effects & Compositing: Essentials topics covered in my After Effects and Video Editing courses.

Video Editing: If it's Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve you have excellent top rated courses.

Color Correction & Grading: Covered in my video editing courses.

Focus and Mastery are important elements for true skills creation. I will be more than happy to offer you all my skills, experience, and expertise.

I guess 208,000+ Students is a good sign that my courses will be of benefit to you.

Cheers

Louay
