@MichaelPonch 2 года назад

Hey. I don’t think I’ll go back. Maybe when I don’t get any offers anymore. Which was nearly the case in the beginning of Covid. Maybe the pressure is higher as a freelancer but it’s worth the freedom. I like to work in a team but as soon as I have social issues with some guys or my boss it would be the hell for me. Of course you have also difficult clients. I don’t say ‘f*** off’ to them. I try to finish all my projects but I like the freedom to tell him that I don’t have time for him anymore the next time he wants to hire me 😂

@MichaelPonch Год назад

Hey Michael loved your tutorial! is it possible to put any png image around the tweaked line to make it feel real 3d like I want the line to run around my png is that possible?

@MichaelPonch 21 день назад

Thank you very much 😊. Do you mean the line wraps around your PNG. It’s a 2D layer after all. So you have to use masking tricks to convey the illusion that the line goes behind your PNG. Or do you mean your png bends along the line? This would be impossible in AE but achievable in Blender or C4D

@Rohan-ce6tj 21 день назад

@@MichaelPonch I mean to say is that my png is in 3d space and I want the line to move around my png making it feel like its a 3d line around my png

Hi did you know why when the null exits from the screen it changes position like it flips, it's like when it goes behind the camera something happens... Thnx

@rizqymaulana 8 дней назад

Same problem here. Didn't solve yet.

@MichaelPonch 8 дней назад

Hi 👋. I’m honestly not sure what exactly happens. After all its just fake 3D, the 3D coordinates projected to 2D space for the shape layer. Possible Workaround: You could split the shape layers or make them invisible when they are out of frame.

@vultan2000 11 месяцев назад

Amazing tutorial! Thank you so much for this. Just out of curiosity is it right this only works with the active camera? When I switch to ‘top’ or ‘left’ etc the line disappears.

It’s possibile to add this 3d stroke in a drone video?

@MichaelPonch Год назад

In principle yes, it depends on the video. What you can do is 3d camera track the video. And place the null objects in 3d space. But as it is fake 3d the stroke always has a consistent thickness. In some cases you could mimic perspective with tapered strokes

@user-lr4fy7jg2l 7 месяцев назад

I try moving about the orbit but the stroke is the one just orbiting and not the scene. DiD I do something wrong?

@gaston. Год назад

The 3D stroke in After Effects still renders like a 2D layer.. either completely in front of layers below it.. or v/versa. Making hair on a character so would like it to hide in the back.

@MichaelPonch Год назад

Right. It’s a fake 3D solution after all. If you want a stroke to be in front and behind an object at the same time you have to do it with masking 😊

@gaston. Год назад

@@MichaelPonch yes.. thanks for your tutorial! it helped me figure this out! It would be nice if the 3d strokes interacted with other 3d shapes in correct z space since masking can get very complicated.

@leomac3337 Год назад

can i make real 3d stroke from a vector svg ai file ?

@MichaelPonch Год назад

Sure, you can copy the path in AI and paste it into the Shape Layers Path attribute. From here you can procede with my technique. I recommend it only if your SVG consists of a few paths. Would be tedious to process a lot of paths and the resulting Null Layers 😊

@MichaelPonch Год назад

Hi 👋. Just got your mail with your AI. Unfortunately it’s too complex for this technique. It’s rather something to accomplish in a 3d software where you 3D bend it along a spiral. There might be plugins but I would use a 3D program like Blender or C4D.
