I watched this tutorial when it first came out, and just had the chance to utilize this technique in a project. The usefulness of this tutorial cannot be overstated. Thank you Evan, much love!
i was doing this like 12 years ago, being low in fps making it look not so good, still saves time for non 3d guys. I still prefer c4d or for AE try using element 3D for much much better quality and lots of control out of it
Thank you so much for your time and efforts. I purchased the Premium Membership at Yellow Images, but i am having trouble to download the whole 360 sequence in one step. I only see the option to load one at a time. Anybody else troubled by this?
Hi, back in your DNA strand video can you make tutorial for the background circular reveal animation. I have been going at it for about 2 days and haven't figured it out. I was using alpha matt for doing so but there was background color issue.
Hi Evan, would it be possible to load a complete 360° photo object into after effects and somehow move/rotate a camera around it in a faux 3D way? I can imagine you'd need to lock your 3d camera into the angled increments the images were taken. I can imagine such a rig, but have no idea how to make it (outside of setting these things up manually)
I like this idea very much. What we would want to do is link the time remap property to the angle of the camera to object vector. So if the camera is orbited 90 degrees from the object it displays the frame that goes with that angle. It's definitely a methodology worth exploring and has the added benefit of being very nostalgic. I'm pretty sure that's how old games like Doom made character sprites seem 3d but I might be mistaken on that score.
Absolutely. I'll put that in today. Be careful copy/pasting from the description though. RU-vid sometimes reformats some punctuation symbols and the syntax can break even though it all looks correct. Just something to be weary of on this platform.
That'll have to be for the advanced mode. If we have 16 horizontal slices, times 16 vertical slices, we'll need controls that take us through both axis kinda simultaneously picking the right fame on the time remap. Definitely will be the next evolution of this concept though AND something cool we can use to rig claymation or stop motion characters too :)
This is why I miss Fireworks that was bought by PS, but some of its original handy to use ‘macros’ back in the day as they were known as, made importing a sequence or exporting one, even at different sizes or whatever else you asked of a series of Png files, it would follow suit - including super easy to make gifs and animations.... some of which has been incorporated into After Effects and other apps.
I have no need to spin fruit anytime soon, I just like to watch Evan Abrams as a lesson in humility, to remind myself after 5 years I still know nothing about this program (sorry, "App", showing my age). The guy is not of this world.
For sure. This is called the remainder operator, but it's often called the Modulo or Modulus. Basically, we are dividing the angle input by 360, and then only keeping the remainder after division. Does that make sense?
11:00 - Is there a way to achieve this without Trapcode Particular? atm the only option in AE is Particle World 2, but doesn't seem to create the same results. Any suggestions please? Thanks!
many particle systems work the same way and can use layers as the texture of the particles. I would look into those options in any particle system you look to deploy. Some of the particle effects that come with after effects have this option.
I didn't personally. But yes, someone did to make the image sequence. If you're looking to create image sequences like this I recommend using a turntable or lazy Susan type object so it can rotate on one axis while being fixed in the others.
Can you make this without a 360 image? or can you somehow make a 360 image by yourself either with photography or editing? I'd like to try this with some objects that aren't available on yellow images
Technically you could use any image sequence really. The trick is isolating your subject matter if you want a similar final output. But at a base level you just need an image sequence. There has been some interest in seeing how such a thing could be created so, we might get into it.
ECAbrams thank you for your reply! I was thinking if I take an image and adjust the lighting or add 3D to make a sequence it might create something similar, idk! A tutorial on this would be fantastic! You’re a superhero!
