if yall have 2 elements and decide to spin them in different directions, make sure to add exactly half of the extrusion value to the x value of the anchor point of each shape layer (one per object). so the extrusion is spinning perfectly in the middle otherwise you will have a weird distance. do it for both objects its looking genius

Great tutorial. Simple and straight to the point.

Adjust position of the Layer 2 Z-axis (bring the image closer to the camera) by -01 Set position like this: 0.0, 0.0, -1.0 4. Use pick-whip to attach Layer 2 (the .png image layer) to Layer 3 (the animated 3-D layer) Layer 2 (the .png) should now be animated to match what happens in Layer 3 (at least for the first portion of the spin)

In that case when you have holes in letters or logos you could add merge paths option, available in the Add button, same as adding Path. But make sure you put it before fill effect. For example it would be: Path 1 Path 2 Merge paths 1 Fill Also make sure to set merge paths mode to subtract.

@@SmertimbaGraphics my logo has 130 Path, do I need to apply this to all of them ? And once I’m done add fill?

@SmertimbaGraphics

I mean this method is more suitable for simple shapes where you get a few paths, but 130 is too much, i think you should use a different method of 3d logo. But anyway, you need to do this to each individual letter, like letter O for example, then like letter A separately.

why the "Fill" is not working?

Make sure you copy masks from the logo layer into shape paths correctly, that being by selecting the mask next to a stopwatch, then paste into shape path.

Is this transparent background ?

Yeah the png itself won't work. You have to trace the outlines and extract the masks to a shape layer that can be made into a 3d object

Can it work on AE CS6?

I get it, if there's too much stuff going on in your logo you might wanna use a different approach, something like this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/c6KX0Nehd9jgpqg.html
