Learn how to create awesome 3D effects in this Adobe After Effects beginner tutorial! I will cover working with 3D layers, cameras and lights and show you everything you need to know to get started!
1. Working with 3D Layers
You can mark any layer in your After Effects composition as a 3D layer. Once you have enabled the 3D switch on the layer you can place the layer anywhere in the 3D space in your scene. Both images and video layers can be 3D.
2. Working with Cameras
You can create a camera in your After Effects composition and move it around the 3D elements in your scene. The camera defines how these elements will be viewed. You can animate the position, orientation and point of interest of the camera to create some cool 3D effects!
3. Working with Lights
Finally, you can place all sorts of lights in the 3D space of your scene and use them to illuminate the 3D layers. There are different types of lights available, like Spotlight, Point Light, Parallel Light and Ambient light.
Once you get the hang of working with 3D in After Effects you can start creating some awesome visual effects!
I have a blog post with some more information on my website that you can check out here:

Hi tobias, thank you for all the tutorials, they have helped me a bunch. I was wondering, I used to use Maya for 3d, and if you selected the light, there was a option to see all of the objects in the scene that were effected by it. And you could choose weather or not a certain light effects an object. Is there anything like this that you know of for ae cc ? Cheers

@SurfacedStudio 8 жыл бұрын

+Rob Overholt Hi Rob, I don't think AE has that option. AE isn't meant for 3D work so you will not find the tools you typically find in your fully fledged 3D software package unfortunately

@KuchenKabel 7 жыл бұрын

Hey Tobias, Since I'm new to After Effects (only used Final Cut Pro and a little bit of Motion) I stumbled upon your tutorials. Love them! But there's a problem I can't figure out. I have large image and with your help, I was able to set up a nice camera movement. But now I want to place text on that still image and the camera should hover around and over it. I already watch your tracking tutorials but somethings going horribly wrong. The tracker won't work on the still image and the camera I setup. Any tipps on what tutorial to watch or what to do?

@SurfacedStudio 7 жыл бұрын

Hey, I am not sure I understand what you are trying to do. Where do you want to place the text and why are you trying to track anything if you already have a proper camera moving about in your scene? Couldn't you just add the text as a 3D element in front of / top of the image - it'd automatically be sitting in your 3D scene as expected

@SurfacedStudio 10 жыл бұрын

Yes it is possible. The funny thing is that a lot of those effects are actually done in real life, e.g. use an empty TV shell to have someone crawl out, then superimpose a fake 'screen' using After Effects. I have something in the works for that, but not sure when I'll get it done :)

Most scenes with mirrors are usually shot at an angle. The ones where the camera is 'edited out' is actually usually shot through a window because removing a camera can be very tricky unless you have a clever setup

is there any way to add "thickness" to the 3D layers? What I mean is this - I'm animating an opening door, and this door is a still image turned into a 3D layer. It rotates on it's Y axis and everything looks great until the edge of the door faces the camera - at this point the door looks paper-thin. i do realize that AE is not a 3d program but wondering maybe there is some clever workaround?

@SurfacedStudio 10 жыл бұрын

As far as I'm aware, the displacement maps just work as a 2D effect. You can apply them on 3D layers, but the actual displacement will just be in 2D so i don't think it'd be much help enhancing the '3Dness' of the composition. For true 3D effects you will likely have to use a 3D program or plugin

Thanks, that did the trick. Now, however, I don't seem to be able to move the image along the other three axes, only rotate it. How do I get back to the first mode, or set the program so it can do everything at once?

Change back to move mode. I also recommend watching through my beginner series from start to finish :) This is part 8 of 8

Actually I have watched them all, in sequence, and they've been very helpful. Do you change back to move mode by hitting "m"?

I cannot turn my 3D image as you do, it won't spin for a lack of better words. Do you know what the problem might be?

I have learnt that in panning the camera stays in a fixed position and it moves around horizontally but here i see that the camera is actually changing position when you were saying panning, is the term 'panning' contextual here ?

@SurfacedStudio 7 жыл бұрын

Unless I misspoke, the term 'panning' is not contextual. It's the movement of a fixed camera. The moment you have the camera moving it's a 'dolly' :)

@SurfacedStudio 7 жыл бұрын

Well assuming it moves smoothly in one direction. If you handhold it and swing it around (somewhat on the spot), I'd still call it 'panning' :)

Oh , now i get it. I learn everyday something new from your videos. You don't know how greatly you help , especially for those who can not afford VFX classes. A request i had , in your free time , please make a video where you list all the camera movements and show the motion of it practically.

"W" for the hotkey. "Rotation Tool" The little arrow on your tool bar that looks like it is counter clockwise rotating.

I'm noob and I don't know the role of GPU in terms of rendering and editing? Do I need a high end graphic card like gtx 1070/1080 or the budget graphic card like rx 470, gtx 1050ti will be fine?

@SurfacedStudio 7 жыл бұрын

Check out the requirements for After Effects. Cards with CUDA or openCL support are always recommend

@rajkaran7865 7 жыл бұрын

So if I want fast render to save time in After effect or Premier pro, should I spend more money on buying a good CPU or GPU?

@SurfacedStudio 7 жыл бұрын

Depends on what type of effects you work with. If it's something AE can offload to your GPU invest in that, if it's something your CPU will have to handle, invest in that

Switch to 'rotate' mode as shown in the video. You are still in 'move' mode, hence your inability to rotate

Hi again. is this possible to create in After Effects? www.istockphoto.com/gb/video/web-design-related-terms-gm472964601-19597474 I have now got my copy moving off the screen to the left and get bigger. My problem is that there is a centre point on the screen that it all seems to attach itself too. I need the text to start in the distance then get bigger and move off left of screen as if its a train driving past us. The problem is I want to start from the very right of the screen and move to the left in one small to large movement. I know its a bit hard to understand - I have moved the camera but all the effects seem to lock into the middle of the screen. Please look at this link to see what I need to do - after hours now I am about to pull my hair out. Thanks

Which mouse does you use for graphic designing???

I don't really do 'graphic design' per se and there is no 'standard' mouse to use for it - it's up to everyone's personal taste. Some people prefer to use a tablet instead of a mouse. I just use a basic high DPI mouse
