Awesome tutorial, great work!

[@MichaelPonch]

Thanks, man 😎

Procrastination pays off at last!
I don't need illuminated text, but started watching this anyway and FINALLY FOUND A WAY TO ADD GRADIENTS TO EXTRUDED LAYERS [LE: @02:06 - solid with Compound Arithmetic - you add blur to it, but it works for gradients just as well], which i've been searching for hours.
You're a genius, thank you!

[@MichaelPonch]

Thank you 😊. I had to rewatch my tutorial because i forgot how I added the gradient 😂😂😂

[@cath0dictube]

​@@MichaelPonch you have no idea how much finding out about Compound Arithmetic helped me. may the universe return all this goodness back to you :)

Michael Ponch you’re getting more fans bud Congratulations 🎉

[@adelekeadetunji4603]

Thanks i really appreciate. Please how do i make 3D text pop out like the one you did. You did not show us that part.

[@MichaelPonch]

Thank you 😊. I think the only thing I didn’t show was to add a point light with a warm color into the scene that illuminates the bottom of the 3D text. Is this what you were looking for?

[@adelekeadetunji4603]

@@MichaelPonch i mean pop up, towards the end of the video.

[@adelekeadetunji4603]

@@MichaelPonch The duration is 2:04 - 2:05. Thanks

[@MichaelPonch]

@@adelekeadetunji4603 oh sorry. yeah, that was a bit too fast at the end 😊. It’s just a position animation of the 3d text. I set position keyframes, selected the 3d text and moved the z-axis of the 3D-Gizmo.

[@sipaaaa1578]

How do I do this with 3d shape layers?

[@MichaelPonch]

It works the same. The shape layer must be switched to 3D layer and the composition’s renderer must be Cinema4D. Then you can extrude in the geometry options 😊

[@rykstudio]

i am not able to get the same result pls help

[@rykstudio]

concave is not working

[@MichaelPonch]

@Orange Creator Studio have you checked if your compositions renderer is set to “Cinema 4D”. I mentioned it in the beginning of the tutorial 0:23 😊

[@MichaelPonch]

By the way....cool logo. Reminds me of the old Orange83 logo 😎

[@rykstudio]

@@MichaelPonch thank you 😊

[@rykstudio]

Still not working properly 😭 from concave

[@Otanrafif]

WTF! even for beginner, how to move the camera forward

[@MichaelPonch]

You can change the position parameters (select camera and press p to reveal position attributes) or you can use the track z camera tool (cycle through the camera tools by pressing c until the cursor becomes the track z cam tool). Hope that helps 😎
