3D Shapes with Shape Layers | No Plugins | After Effects Tutorial 

You're killing it with the tutorials! So good! 🔥

I love it when we can just produce works using simple techniques such as this~ Thanks for the tut~Awesome!

Awesome tutorial with energy, clear straight to the point :D!

You literally created a new technique for HUDs...man...I just got a new lesson..AE was built to do Something it was never built for 🔥🔥... you are a G.O.A.T ❤️❤️

I think I would recommend killing the music when you start getting into the lesson, it's a bit distracting for me. Great video!

A clear and concise tutorial!! I was getting the hang of it half way through :)

For those that have a problem with points follow nulls, a case where the nulls appear to be offset from the points they should be in, correct the Position property of the Transform Rectangle to 0,0 (not the position of the shape layer but of the rectangle that is the content of it).

Extremely premium content thank you so much is all I can say🙏

Wow. So cool. 🤩 Really amazing tutorial. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see more.

Amazing tutorial ! Thx a lot ! 🎉

You are Awesome man !!!! Thanks and keep going...

Hello. Thank you for your tutorials, I really enjoy them and your naturally positive person. What I really like about this technique: 1. Precision!!! 2. Less 2D-like strokes than with the "traditional method", where shapes are 3D enabled. 3. Possibility to enable "offset paths", unlike the method with a masked solid with the "stroke effect" applied. There is an easy way around it (just change the mask size), but still. Problems I've noticed with this technique: 1. Can't use fill, because it's "fake 3D" and the order of layers affect the projection. The layer placed on top will always hide layers beneath. 2. Can't use "butt cap"/"meter join" properly, because the appearance of strokes are not fully 3D either so "butt cap"/"meter join" strokes keep overlapping. Only "round cap"/"round join" make visually sense. Is there a technique out there, that can tackle these problems - i.e. overlapping strokes with meter join and hiding shapes with fill enabled? Once again - thank you for your work. Your tutorials help me very much. Great, that you included "[...] 3D Objects with shape layer strokes only:" in the video description. Unfortunately I did notice it after I came across the limitations of the technique. Greetings from Vienna :)

Thank you, - some of your videos give answers - I was looking for - for years.

thank you, it worked for me

🤯🤯 Amaaazing

WHAT A TUTORIALLLLLL♥

Dude, super cool

Thanks for sharing!!!

it's great man

You can also switch the 3d renderer to cinema 4d in composition settings and now after you put your shape layer in 3d you have an option so you can extrude and have depth

Amei!!! + 1 inscrita!!!

it's perfect man

what a good chat, so useful, how come no one saw this!

I'm saving this video for later because it's too advanced for me right now but great video!

Thanks man!!

You save my life... So thank you.....

i guess it will take me 100 more years to be that good in after effect like this so i choose to enjoy watching this video to entertain for my weekend.

very much your efforts to help us noobs out.

tnx

cool man

now this is the work what after effects madeup

awesome, thank you very much for this great tutorial. Can anybody please tell me how you create the background and the reflection of the shapes on the ground?

hell yeah dude this rules

Hi Michael ! Thank you very much for shearing your approaches. Is there any way to cantact you for a project as freelance ?

underrated i think

Yay thx per mostrarmi: D

genius...

I keep watching your tutorials for the outro music! Shazam is not helping me in the slightest, though 😅

dope

cool

That's awesome man! How did you find out about this method?

How can I create the background ??? I loved your each and every tutorial

cool nan

Nice video! how did you make the objects emit that 3d light? It's very interesting!

No plug-in is real hero!

Hi! I've just seen this tutorial and immediately tried to follow it. Cool technique. I'm having some problems trying to make the sphere though. I make the nulls from the path and the control null, but when I rotate it in 3d, instead of rotate the circle in 3d too, it gets completely distorted, it looks like a bow tie. Do you know what may be the issue? Thanks a lot.

I found that word easy not in the right context... 😂 And till you mentioned it at the end i was thinking about... How will this work with a full rotation? For simple stuff like this you would spend a day with all then nulls. But a great experiment 🎉

💖

i tried to make a pyramid like this a few weeks ago, i was proud of myself for thinking about it haha, but the strokes looked flattened like paper (not 3d neons) and glitched whenever i moved the camera or tried to rotate the pyramid too much. any suggestions? is it because i made the shape layer 3d as well and only the nulls should be 3d? loving your tutorials and your vibe, super informative, concise and friendly

Can you make turoial on fake light emission?

Awesome tutorial! But when using the dashed stroke the offset moves when moving the camera. Is there a solution to this?

Sir, how can we centre the null to 3D bunch of cubes (e.g. Rubik's Cube)?

When I click the 3d layer button I get a three arrow symbol instead of the cube symbol and can no longe see the square in a 3d view. would you happen to know the fix for this?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

in!

How many years studying vfx does it take to become this good?

Hi, i can't find the panel " Create nulls from Path " :(

soft setuper?

But how can I make those light reflections?

Is there any plugin which can help me avoid these processes everytime i edit? Do tell..

Michael, when I click under the 3D cube on the panel it shows tri-axis icon instead of a cube, do you know what I need to do to fix this?

What glow do you use?

How to draw 3d cone shape in after effects

When I active the 3d option on AE 2022, the paths drawing disappears. When I deactivates the 3D option, it reappears...... Again when I click "point follow null...." It shows Shape layer path1,2,3 etc, instead of null layer path1, null layer path2... Please I need to solve this?

bro please show me how to make logos 3d

Hi, I've been trying to follow this tutorial (which is a great tutorial) but for some reason when I try to use orbit tool nothing happens, i doesn't let me move the view of the object. Do you know why this can be? am i doing something wrong? I've tried this over and over and still can't get it to work.. ANYONE ELSE KNOW WHY?? Thanks

I think music needs to be toned down when you're talking , also the voiceover had a echo effect or some clarity in the start. it gets better after 1:47

I want to 3d stroke please help me.

my nuls are not centred like yours Not sure what happened

My pc is 32 ram 2060RTX and I try to do this I swear when my pc rendering a time line the fan get started sounding like helicopter 😂 wtf is your pc how you make this and your pc not explosion

dude! HOW TF DOES STEP ONE NOT EVEN WORK FOR ME!? I CANT SEE ANY STROKE LINES AND I FOLLOWED TO THE T!!! and i thought this tutorial was the answer to my problems

You’re kidding me? This is like brain surgery. Do you know how easy it is to do this in cinema 4D. You click cube and it’s there. Why would anybody do this?

this is like the worse tutotrial i ever saw.

Auf r/motiondesign gesehen und direkt abonniert! Hilfreiches Tutorial sehr schön visualisiert, gerne mehr davon. Grüße aus dem schönen Bayern :)

Good day. Can you please tell me how to make a truncated octahedron? having trouble with the corners. ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A3%D1%81%D0%B5%D1%87%D1%91%D0%BD%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9_%D0%BE%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%8D%D0%B4%D1%80
