Simple Shape Orbits - Adobe After Effects tutorial
Fake 3d orbits. What's the difference between a sphere and a circle anyway? It renders fast, sets up in seconds, and so long as you don't need shading, it's good enough for a particle sprite! It's simple shape orbits in under 5 minutes! Airhorn noise!

Thank you abundantly for the tutorial! Short, simple, & to the point!😃🙏
I often feel like I'm orbiting around ECAbrams videos...
I have this feeling in the previous video that this will have its own tutorial. Quality content as always :D
I recently discovered your channel and boy, am I glad I did! Great tutorials. Just great.
Loving the pattern series, please do more :)
This is crazy you just uploaded this, I was just looking for this effect last night! Perfect!

are you talking about where he sets it to Auto Orient to Camera? You may have missed the shortcut he used for that: Ctrl + Alt + O (thats a letter oh, not a zero), (on PC -- forget which key combo on mac ) or navigate through the menu: Layer > Transform > Auto Orient

Thanks for the tutorial! Very useful!
Thanks a bunch, Evan! That was indeed a nifty trick and I made use of it right away. Btw, an object in an orbit is called a satellite. :-) Looking forward to more tips and technique as we float in the deep space of mograph. .-0

Hi Luiz! You can add a 'Glow' effect to your shape layer and then in the effects panel, set Color A to the fill color of the shape and set B color to the color of the background. Then adjust the Radius and Intensity as you want.

Not much to it really. A little gradient blur on a solid, a little HLS noise to taste, and a tint for some final colour control. That may be another of these very very quick tutorials :)

I'd love a tutorial on your aesthetics or where you get your style choices from. Like your intro looks amazing, the little lines inside the box or the weird glow of the "sun" that doesn't look perfect but is this grainy mess and perfect in a whole other way. I know this wouldn't be a simple tutorial where you just achieve one effect so I'm not expecting you to do this since it's too broad of a concept but still a cool idea imo

That might be a topic to bring up on the live sessions we get into on this channel from time to time. That might be a better place to get into these open-ended optics.
Thanks for the great tutorial although I though this will be made using some expressions because they happen to never interfere, turned out simpler than I imagined and I learned about that "echo" effect, I though you will be using "CC force motion blur". So is there any way to do it with expression to make them mathematically and visually satisfying ? Thanks again !
yeah thank u
First saw that and was totally wondering how to make that, you mind reader

That is so fucking awesome thanks.
Killer intro, too.
Really useful. More 2.5D animation tutorials if you may. But how do you variate the speed of the orbit (faster in certain area and slower in other areas)?

Great Work! i do have issues though. After applying the Echo Effect on the Orbiter at 5:10 , i can't seem to replicate the same effect. But it worked when i pre-compose the Spinner and Orbiter and then apply the effect on the Precompose. Why is that?
This is so rad- Thaaaaaank you!! What if I wanted to use flower petals? is it also possible or much harder (because they're not circles but have a pointy edge on two parts)
@ECAbrams

depends on what you would like them to "do" really. This illusion works to look like spheres, but with any other shape it will look like a flat thing always facing the camera. If that's what you're going for, this would do it. What are you looking for the petals to seem like they are doing?

Hi! How do you create that lighting effect around your middle circle?
I made a guess that you would use the Orbit Null instead of a plain Null, animate the rotation and then parent the camera to it. And then Parent the centre planet to the Orbit Null as well, so then the camera and centre planet are spinning around and in fact the 'orbiter' is the static object. Same thing at the end of the day though!
Hi.. Is it possible to make an animated (curved?) arrows, orbiting around the shape, using this technique? Thanks!
Very awesome. Anything on the coloring/texture used in this video? Thank you.

well thank you for saying so. It means a lot to hear.
how could anyone give this a thumbs down?
But how can you still achieve this effect while having Layer Styles on the "Middle" Layer? I tried it and everytime i put and outer glow etc. on this layer the "Orbiter" doesnt go behind it anymore.
Capo!
10/10 no bullshit.
