Cinematic 3D Stroke Logo Intro in After Effects | Tutorial

17,000+ AE & PR Templates: bit.ly/UnlimitedAETemplates - Stand out from the crowd and create the best 3D Logo animation out there. In this After Effects tutorial, we're going to take any logo and turn it into a 3D Stroke Animation. By using the Vegas effect, you can create an outline of any logo. Then by duplicating, you'll make a 3D Intro. Lastly, we'll use creative camera angles to create a cinematic scene in After Effects.

This worked out so well for my project. I has Illustrator layers that I animated manually (lots of lines) but the 3d aspect took so little time. My only change was that when I zoomed in on small parts of the animation, I has to change the script to increment the z position by "1" instead of "3" to avoid seeing the spacing.

[@miguelnarvaezhob622]

bro u r crazy af dropping this hard tutorials, ty so muchhhh

[@ruminobeats]

I always thought I needed a 3d software to make a so perfect animation.
Thank you for all your life-saving tutorials !
You can't know how much this channel is helpful to the designers community.
Always be creating ! 🙏🏾

[@SonduckFilm]

I'm still learning all the time and I am amazed what can be created just in AE.
Thank you! Keep up the excellent work.

[@loveesther4061]

Always grateful for your tutorial- Thanks. A|effect expressions seem tricky. any help for future use/reference?

[@TheNamesRein]

thanks

[@sohastar4206]

very good

[@kehindesuleiman5738]

This is really nice Josh. You forgot to teach us an easier way to change the logo in case we would like to change the logo in future. Thanks once again for sharing.

[@SonduckFilm]

No problem! If I remember correctly, I precomposed the logo. So you can swap in your logo within that composition. Might need to apply the fill effect again.

[@ApieceOfwish]

Awesome ☆

[@andrewk7911]

Super

[@pravesh_mangar]

cool😍

[@kevinbrianthomas1]

I'm about to do my own version of this one here.

[@srikeshpillai]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@vevilyna]

This is such an amazing tutorial that you make! but, may I ask why my logo animation looks so blurry? I've made the magnifecto fit up to 100% and the resolution is 100%, I'm so confused.

[@hitecrcdusa]

Awesome tutorial! I'm using this to create a 3D version of my company's logo and am wondering how to remove the rounded corners? Is that possible?

[@sebastienfrey9312]

hello! amazing tuto! how do ii do when it's already a a stike logo (already just a lign)? now it appears vith an empty space inside my lign? thanw so much

[@chinaahpek]

probably still too advanced for me as I am still a beginner to AE and Premiere. But it is nice to see what I can aim to achieve in the future

[@clamentgms3709]

is it possible to make the Vegas stroke Inner or outside of the logo path instead of centre?

[@mashudali8482]

Subsctibed - can this stuff be done in Fusion, Da Vinci Resolve?

[@tinorhein7829]

Great tutorial! But I have one question ... what could be the reason that my outlines always have coarse structures (even if the logo is noticeably larger in AI).

[@Flo-sj2pb]

What do we have to do for replace by our logo ?

[@bilahhakim]

how about executing original logo that has other colours than white at the end ? cause my logo is not only white

[@crendonio123]

Josh have you been hitting the gym? Looking great bro!

[@SonduckFilm]

Thanks brother! Yes sir!

[@acadvideoart]

Do you know how to make a screensaver, credits from the beginning of the film "Konstantin-the Lord of Darkness 2005"?? Thank you in advance!

[@lex_lg]

Offtop: why you guys using rgb channels with different layers to add "chromatic aberrations" effect. Can i use one adjustment layer with one of the distortion effects and 3d glasses (with the same layer in options)? It's wrong? :)

[@trattface]

would there be a way to add a fill to it?

[@munenenjogu6440]

can i use thiswith a colored logo

[@jaysonfontela5761]

💖💖💖

[@astefanabdholla3712]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@namekpictures6915]

After adding the code the logo shifts out of the screen is there a fix

[@ninjacat23nd94]

will this work on after effect version 2019

[@EmergingGraphic]

Could you tell me please when i zoom it, It gone faded.

[@Flo-sj2pb]

I need help ! When I create a new angle of view, switching is not working, When I change the point of view, both scenes have the same point of view, there is no cut

[@complay8239]

why i can't put the background?

[@chiggedycheckyoself]

I'm an absolute beginner, but wouldn't extruding the one layer work just as well as duplicating it 27 times?

[@Runningl8te]

This is really really cool. However, is there a way to make the Vegas effect behave like an inner stroke instead of an outer stroke? It would help maintain proportions and spacing in the logo.

[@justinfigiel6363]

I've run into this too. I found that using generate stroke, instead of Vegas, for the animation works just as well.

[@nicktasteless360]

not sure why my scene 1 and 2 does not look like yours. The scene 2 seems to be starting from the start instead of continuing from scene 1.

[@eidrefaieh8960]

the expression in AE says that is Z in not defined

[@LucaNestola_FILM]

Great BUT...
When the camera moves closer to the object, detail level is quite low and it has that "slices look".
I even tried to duplicate the pre-composed logo layer more than the indicated times, but still the same.
Full disclosure, I am new to the AE world, but it seems that the same issue is visible in the sample created in the tutorial.
Not sure this can be used in a professional production. Unless I am missing something of course.

[@tccreationyt8402]

how to underneath?

[@user-yr3db5jg8l]

why my background doesnt turn black after precompose?

[@jakegilbert4803]

Hello, I’m looking to buy your biggest package and got a quick question. Would I need a laptop, or would I be able to download everything to my iPad? Sorry if this is a stupid question

[@SonduckFilm]

Hi Jake, I just replied to your message on Instagram :)

[@TR360O]

Great tutorial! The only problem I've been running into is when increasing the width in Vegas to 15 the edges of the logo get cut off. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[@anasosama7558]

mine gets super blurry

[@anasosama7558]

when i increase the width in VEGAS effect the logo becomes blur, why ?

[@sotografik]

Hi, can anyone help me figure out why it's so pixelated. In program, but also on the export. It doesn't look clean.
Thank you!

[@puthunwaidyaratne9504]

Do you still have this issue?

[@anasosama7558]

I do

[@Xandercorp]

I think you can achieve a better version of this with the 3D extrusion via C4D renderer nowadays. Might look better if you up the render detail prolly.

[@SonduckFilm]

Yes, I always feel iffy about doing 3D stuff in AE, because you can usually get better results in real 3D software.

[@Xandercorp]

Have some faith, Adobe seems to be trying to move us to using assortments of apps, so you extrude in AI then send to Substance then send to AE. But I hear you, you'd have more options with a 3D dedicated app... Also more buttons tho :D

[@javearcleare567]

i'm getting an expression error, even though i copied the code.

[@KeyIntelMedia]

If the angle is too low you can see through the top layer.. any suggestions on fixing this? Or should I go to Blender :)

[@artyartemis5752]

After effects must give us Camera Crane or Camera Morph like in Cinema 4d you place different Cameras with different angles
and then there is Master camera which link to those camera and then that master camera follows those camera angles n create smooth movement.

[@sebastienfrey9312]

my mogo mooks actually when you went throught Vegas..

[@JRZflicks]

Why do I get a black background on my logo when I try adding a solid behind underneath all the duplicate layers?

[@vbrownemail]

I feel your pain...same thing happend to me

[@JRZflicks]

@@vbrownemail Bummer. For some reason when I deleted a few of the layer copies the black background went away. He said 27 copies in the video, so I deleted a like 3 or 4 and it went away. But that's not ideal because what if I want to make it thicker by adding more copies?

[@vbrownemail]

@@JRZflicks Thanks...tried it and it worked like a charm!!!

[@xxrelaxbrotherxx]

thats a lot of step for a beginner

[@moaaxali]

Animating the camera Y by time=5 doesn't work, it seems you skipped the animation step there.

[@anasosama7558]

So which number is correct one?

[@banglabeastfr]

There is something you didn't explain clearly.

[@adraur9670]

nice, but maked to fast

[@wanjosentertainment5878]

and i thought i kipped mathematics🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
x = value[0] + (index-1)*0;
y = value[1] + (index-1)*0;
z = value[2] + (index-1)*3;
[x, y, z];
