Thank you so much. Was looking for a quick and efficient way to make 3D animated titles for a project, I downloaded your project and then tweaked it for my needs. I learned how you made it looking at keyframes and settings here and there. I absolutely love when motion designers share their AE projects, as a motion designer myself who knows where to look at, it just makes it sooo much easier and faster.

I think this is the first time I have ever found myself landing on a tutorial that "premieres" at a future date. Epic!

Wow, solid tutorial. So much gold in here. Thanks as always for the great content on your channels.

i was looking for this tutorial for a long time, thank u!

Great tutorial, clearly laid out and easy to follow. Can't wait to make some stuff

my favourite tutorials by a long chalk! Thanks for taking the time to make them, and to make them entertaining

Hey Nick, fab tutorial and appreciate the downloads! Cheers!

Finally I've been waiting for this 😬

You’re such a dude Nick! Never stop!

Found this via Jake in Motion and immediately used it in a project. Such a great tutorial and easy to follow. Thank you!

So far the only tutorial I've seen that takes it slow and doesn't require prior experience to soft design.

Thank you! OMG I love Mat Voyce! Thank you for an amazing tut! I’ve been trying to copy him for years now. He has a tut on Domestica about it. He usually set up everything in Illustrator and then animate it in AE!

Absolutely fantastic video. Thank you very much!

Thanks bro. Your tutorial is awesome

thanks, great tutorial. I din't know it can be done in that way

That's great to learn from you🙏 Thanks you❤

such a good video! i didnt know some tools you use in this vid. thx !

Wow thank you! This is exactly what I needed because I WAS doing 3D text in the wrong workflow.

Thanks a lot Nick!!

what a nice tuto . thank you bro . that s very usefull

Amazing tutorial!

Thank you bro this was great.

Wow man this is great thanks for doing this.... ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Awesome thank youu! I do the same with the camera movements, always thought I was doing wrong, but i'ts easier for me ❤ BTW, I found uncheking "Auto orient" inside layer menu, kind of helped do the same, without strugling with point of interest

thanks for this!

OUTSTANDING!

Thanks a lot man

Great stuff ✌

Nice one!

Just subscribed you!! Jake in Motion sent me here!! Cool stuff man ! :D

I think this will be the gateway to my first adventure with 3D...then I'll try blender and you stairs tutorial I think...

You're a life saver!

Great video

Tnx-a-lot!

Great tutorial Nick! Thanks duuuuuude. I'm all about dat modular way of life. I'm curious, is there a reason you create and pickwhip a camera null manually vs right clicking the camera and using the "create orbit null" option in the camera menu? Love your stuff. Great unique solutions.

And that’s probably the video Jake talked about! Great stuff here!

Wow, amazing tutorial. I just learned at least 10 new things.

awesome to hear!

The way to animate with text animators always twists my brain. It's a little bit like programming. But very powerful nonetheless.

Thank You. what's your opinion on the new 3d feature in after effects beta version? if you may show us in a video.

Really cool tutorial. Just wondering if there is a way to add a Z dimension to the group alignment?

nice one

glad I came to class 😍

Hey there, how can we add subtitles in which each word is highlighted as the person speaks? (After Effects)

Hey! I need some help, can't understand why the text disappears (not visible) when I click on enable per-character 3d to the animator... How can I fix it?

i have a problem when i precomb and add layer style than switch the renderer to classic 3d the stroke doesnt appear

i love you

Hi! i have an issue with after effects for weeks now and i’m wondering if you can help

how much ram do u have?

Hiii. What font you used for this?

GOLD! Thank you

Great tutorial! 1 query...I got all excited and did multiple strokes using the layer style technique but I started seeing some sharp corners instead of smooooooth curves. These sharp corners got progressively more obvious on additional strokes - I went for 6 (told you I got excited). Got any thoughts on how one could minimise the sharp corners?

do you know how to fix cinema 4d problem?

Nice tutorial - tho that music loop - distract central.

Thank you for this! I followed along perfectly until you added the stroke to the final pre-comp version. I also changed the renderer setting to classic 3d and the stroke is NOT visible. any suggestions??

You probably have a background inside the original 3D text comp. Then the layer style will be applied on the outside of the outermost shape. Delete you background layer (shape layer or solid) and leave just the 3D text with the alpha channel. It should do the trick.

Do you know if anything has changed about this in the last year of AE updates? I'm trying the same thing but if the comp that the precomp is inside of isn't also on C4D render the extrusions won't show up.

I just saw the other comment about adding a layer style and that worked! Don't even have to have one on, just "Show All" works.

2:05 anyone knows if there is a way to set the grouping alignment for the z/depth axis too? I'm trying to rotate a letter from it's middle of the extrusion not from the front face

you can always drop it into another precomp and change the renderer back
