Master Rhino basics to model your site for animation. Set meters and display options, use the gumball to shape segments, and export lines to Illustrator for After Effects.
Model the site in rhino by importing the image, scaling to 25 meters, and building height layers. Organize layers for streets, park, and buildings, and outline blocks with polylines.
Learn to create a subtle architectural diagram by adjusting colors with muted greens, positioning backdrops, and adding handcrafted park trees and simple pedestrian walkways using vector tools.
Fix missing geometry in an L-shaped abstraction by tracing and duplicating lines, align parts precisely, crop excess with the eraser, then export the Illustrator work to After Effects.
Explore the Adobe After Effects interface, import Illustrator layers, and animate them using the timeline, presets, and transform controls, with a central preview area.
Import an Illustrator file as a composition in after effects, keep layer sizes, isolate geometry layers, and animate a dashed subtraction outline with keyframe position.
Explore how masks in After Effects control visibility with alpha and luma mattes, using shape layers and duplicates to reveal a circle inside rectangles.
Prepare the composition by rasterizing all layers, enabling motion blur, and validating a 15/2 duration. Render using best settings with Adobe Media Encoder for a high-quality, full-HD H.264 output.
Animate step five by positioning it under step three with a mask, refine the opacity transition, and reveal green vegetation to show park integration.
Learn how to create an engaging architecture diagram which shows your concept ideas clearly through the use of Adobe Illustrator and Adobe After Effects. We all now use computer graphics in order to expose our ideas, with this course you will be able to take a step forward into the world digitalization by creating animated diagrams which will let you grab your professor's or client's attention.
We will start off from the very beginning, the creation of a project. I will teach you the essential commands to create a 3d model inside Rhino 3D that will serve us to create a project from scratch, you may also use your software of preference as this step is not strictly necessary. Once we have our project converted to lines we will export it to Adobe Illustrator in which we will learn how to create a professional and fun diagram while learning the essential tools of this software.
Now that we've learned how to create a diagram from start to finish it's time for another interesting part, Adobe After Effects. Inside AE you will learn everything you must know to generate animations from scratch and adjust it's settings to produce high quality rendered animated products.
