What lowest version of AE should I have?
Hi Can you please make this video tutorial czcams.com/video/vG3NRNL77mI/video.html
you are awesome bro
please Please make 3d sphere orb tutorial
New subscriber🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you so much! Welcome aboard :)
the best motion man on the internet
Very humbled to hear that. I am sure there are many great designers out there! Thank you much, really appreciate :)
Great tutorial, what pc do you have btw
Thank you! I am using a Mac Ulta M1
Where would you say is the best place to go to learn how to write expressions like yours? Thanks
Hi, thank you for your comment. I personally learned what I know from youtube and google searches, etc. What I like to do is to see what I want to do, and see if there's someone who did it before me. The when I find an expression I analyse it and see what each line does so that I can use it whenever I require the same functionality. I also like to watch videos on the most used expressions... for instance this expression uses the Linear expression to interpolate the distance from the effector to the movement of each object. If you search for Linear Expression on youtube you will find many great videos. Although I admit, it's quite a slow process. Ideally you would follow an introduction course to Javascript, which should give you the groundwork of things you need to know.
@@stephanzammitvery interesting thanks for commenting back. I’ll take a look at some Javascript courses
when i paste the code,its give me eror, what can i do? am bout position code
When adding the expression, make sure that all the naming is exact as in the video. This will include places where there are capital letters, etc. The expression calls to these specific names so its important that they are accurate.
@@stephanzammit tnx helped,it was just one radius Strenght and shoud be R :D
can you tell me how to change from classic 3d to advance 3d, i dont see advance 3d option on my screen
Hi, this will depend on your after effects version. This option is available from 2024 onwards. If you are using an older version, you can still follow with this tutorial, just choose Cinema 4D instead of Advanced 3D.
The explanation was more than wonderful. Thank you for your effort, but I have a note when recording the lesson. Please do not activate the zoom-in and zoom-out of the screen and follow the mouse because this effect distracts attention from the explanation. Other than that, you are wonderful.
Thank you for your comment and feedback. Much appreciated. I think in certain parts when there is small text, etc that need to be read, it could be useful, but yes maybe it can be decreased in other areas. Appreciate the feedback as I am always looking for different ways to improve the tutorials. :)
It's an amazing tutorial. Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much! :)
6:48 Help homie reach more people
Thanks for your comment! Much appreciated :)
Great content mate, you earned a subscriber!
Welcome aboard! Thank you so much!
Thanks!
You're very welcome. Thank you for your comment :)
amazing contant. i also wanted to ask something. at 12:50 wouldn't have been easier to just use the search feature? to search for "color" and the property would show up for all layers. sorry you had to do it the other way though haha.
Thanks for your suggestion! I think I will still need to pick each color property one by one. Would be cool to have an option to select all the searched properties.
My after effects doesn't show that geometry options. Can you guide me please?
Hi, this will depend on your after effects version. This option is available from 2024 onwards. If you are using an older version, you can still follow with this tutorial, just choose Cinema 4D instead of Advanced 3D.
My concern is that when I switch to "cinema 4D" the geometry option is in grey color i.e. its not active .. what could be the possible reason?
@@asystematicgyan Maybe you don't have Cinema4D Lite installed? It should be installed automatically if you have installed it through the Creative Cloud App.
are you on instagram? I'll give you a shoutout you deserve man
Very very Good~~~!!^^
Thank you so much! :)
Really loved this, brother! I hope to reach your level one day. :) keep it up bro. Can't thank you enough! amazing tutorial!
amazing video thanks for this and please make a video on 3d sphere orb animation
Thanky so much! Really appreciate. Will try to cover this in a future video! :)
bro please make a vid on that beautiful sphere asap it looks so good
Thank you. Will try to work on a video for this in the near future :)
@@stephanzammit thank you very much!
这款软件是免费的嘛? 如果不是 我还是选择Blender
You are right, Blender is really great for that!
Copy the whole fill content maybe and paste
Thanks for your comment. In this case it is not using a fill effect, its using the shape layer fill property, so when you paste it on another shape layer it will create an additional fill property, if you don't select its fill property.
@@stephanzammit overall this was a really good tutorial, the animations are just S class, and it’s this simple, thanks
Thank you so much. Really appreciate! It motivates me to create more :)
how did you make the objects blury transparent as we can see text behind? please respond.
Thank you for your comment. This is using a displacement map technique, its a bit complex to explain over a comment, but maybe I will try to cover this in a future video.
wow amazing video man, love this! but please make a video on how to make that orb circle, really man there's no normal videos on you tube that teach how to make it look as good and stylish as yours.
Thank you so much! Glad you like it! Will try to work on a video for this in the near future :)
@@stephanzammit I had a question, my sphere is not in the center like yours is, is there any way to fix it?
You can simply move it around, as long as its parented to the Effector, you shouldn't have a problem. If you are using my expression to centre it make sure that the anchor point is properly centred. I have a video on anchor points here, which might come in handy: czcams.com/video/CAN2iGwede0/video.html
@@stephanzammit I appreciate you man, i cant really move it though cause the position is linked to the effector, but what worked is positioning the anchor point, is that a proper way to do it? Thank You
Yes, if you are using the expression, you can do it using the anchor point.
could you explain how you got to the expressions? it's cool that I can just copy and paste it over but I'd love to know how the code works!
Thank you for your comment :) Would love to cover it all in the video, but wanted to keep it shortish, due to the complex topic. But I have uploaded a full explanation of how it works with a short explanation for each line of code, on my blog. Have a look here: neuronfx.com/advanced-3d-mograph-in-after-effects
Wonderful setup. Thank you for sharing. It's great to reduce the expressions to optimize the calculations. With many layers and many expressions it becomes pretty significant. Such as in this case - the "var" in the beginning of each line is not necessary. While prompting expressions, I add a condition to adapt code for optimal AE use - and AE does not need to refer to "var" each time.
Thank you for your comment and feedback, much appreciated. Yes in this case we can remove the "var" and the expression should work normally. Thanks!
Please dont stop posting. This helps people to earn something and to improve the skill in a meaningful way. I like how the effects builds up to make something visually stunning🎉
Thank you for your comment. I am glad you like the video and found it helpful! Will definitely share more techniques! :)
Amazing! thank you!
Glad you liked it!
bro i love your works. please upload more creative tutorials like this video and even more
Thank you! I will surely do. Really appreciate your comment! Motivates me to create more :)
fucking underatted channel
Thank you :) Hope to reach more people as I add new content.
Amazing , is there any possibility for adding effect scale XYZ ?
Thanks! That's definetly possible, in that case the expression will look like the Position XYZ expression, just with scale instead.
@@stephanzammit Thank you, I did it but little different way, just I changed end line as [finalValue, 100, 100];
Can I use Cinema 4D instead of Advanced 3D? Because I don't have the Advanced 3D option.
Yes, definitely. Just select that option, all the other settings should remain similar.
Would absolutely love to have the tutorial for the ORB it's amazing
Thanks for you comment. Will see how I can integrate it in a future video :)
Immediately subscribed I LOVE YOUR CONTENT would love to have your tutorials on skillshare could bee a side gig !
Thank you so much, much appreciated. Would look into these options eventually. Thanks for your suggestion :)
for which version does it works in?
Advanced 3D is available in After Effects 2024 upward. However the expressions and technique should work on any version of after effects, even older ones.
@@stephanzammit so can i make the exact same stuff in older versions?
@@madhavrajput3597 Yes you can, In that case you will need to switch to Cinema 4D rendered instead of Advanced 3D. The option is in the same place, just click on Cinema 4d instead.
2:04 God, I couldn't even think about the way you distribute many shapes this way so easily. Thank you!!!
Thank you. Yes there are some interesting time saving trick in After Effects. Will definitely share more in the future :)
such a Cool video! Still a beginner to after effects...I would love to know how you did the text animation as well
Thank you! I am actually planning a video on just that, would love to share more soon :)
