You're a legend for this

Dude like always nice and easy! Cant thank you enough for making these videos, I swear your videos are like tier 2 videos, its for the people who already know AE but are still missing some very important small techniques that get you to the next level, non of that generic beginner bullsh*t, thank you man! Bless happy new years!

Thanks! This is what I needed, you're the first person I've seen to make a clear video on this.

Thank you so much for doing this video! Got a set up with no 3D Programs, and this is making possible to do the 3D I need for the project.

Super informative and tidy, as usual. Thanks!

Thanks dude.

Brilliant tutorial, thanks!

It's like... close to isometric, but not quite isometric. People think of the isometric camera as being defined by that 45 degree angle, but what's also important is that it it's orthogrpahic, in other words it flattens the z-axis so that perspective doesn't warp any dimensions. You're attempting to simulate an isometric view by placing the camera so far away from your subject, but you can still see imperfections at vertices in the center of your geometry, where the layers overlap. It'll do it a pinch, but it's not a true isometric camera. You can put the camera farther away and it'll get better, but it'll never be perfect, and also the farther away the camera is the harder it will be to manipulate because you'll have to deal with smaller and smaller decimals for your camera transformations. It will start to get difficult to keyframe as your keyframe data becomes visibly meaningless, and at a certain point it will be beyond After Affects ability to calculate that the movements. I hope I can find a way to put a true isometric camera into after effects, I'm a little worried it's impossible.

I'm just facing the same problem. How is a simple parallel projection camera not a feature of AE?

Attantion guys! You need to click the Collapse Transformations (sun icon) on your [3D Box] Comp, when you past in in main composition! Otherwise your main comp will treat your other comp as a flat layer in a 3D space. Please add the info to the description.

Thx very informative. A tip to create quickly an orbit null. Right click on the Camera -> Camera -> Create Orbit Null

Cool

hey I learned a lot from this tutorial. I hope you'll make further tutorials to show your experience and expertise as well. I'm facing one problem. Could you please let us know that how did you made these boxes in crystal form?

nice

thanks for this. i'm a beginner in after effects. i want how you have done to have this sqaure before turning it into 3d shape? besides, can you tell me how you have processed to make this great light effect? thanks once more for you tutorials

The box is created with 6 3d solids and there are 2 lights in the scene. Take a look at my 3D Layer Techniques video.

Workflow question, Why the null? Could you just change the orientation of the camera? Thank you for the tutorials!

@MotionScience

6 жыл бұрын

If you changed the orientation of the camera, the view would skew, because the orientation would be based on the center of the camera and not the center of the comp (null).

I have a similiar workflow! :) Just a question: how do you deal with camera distortion when your objects are placed far from the center?

@MotionScience

6 жыл бұрын

Great to hear, Saul. I haven't dealt with any camera distortion on any projects using this setup. The camera is so far away on Z and the lens so zoomed that there shouldn't be much if any. But I also haven't dealt with very large scenes.

still not really clear on why you wouldn't just set up like a 5000mm camera from the get-go and then move the camera back in z-space. Like why create a 50mm first only to do the extra step of changing the focal length?

im pretty sure that zoom and focal length is two different thing... so that's not gonna work

@gregkrazanski

they're not different things. change the zoom of the camera in AE then check what the new focal length is. Think about what a "zoom" lens is. it's a lens that has a longer focal length (i.e. has a more "isometric" effect because the background and foreground are closer together)

@gregkrazanski

more accurately, a "zoom" lens has the ability to zoom from a wider focal length to a narrower focal length. so yes, by definition, zooming in is changing focal length.

@RaySaurus-love-sauce

you're actually right, i've just try it recently by changing the focal length the "zoom" is also changing.
