Some previous After Effects knowledge is recommended for taking this course In this After Effects course, you will learn the main 3D functions in After Effects and how to actually use these 3D effects. Plus, this course is project based, so what you learn can be applied in real world modern videos. We've included downloadable project files and resources, so you can follow along with the lessons. What will you learn?Working in the 3D spaceTurning flat animations into 3D onesCinema 4D renderClassic render3D modeling3D camera animationsReflectionsLightingShadows3D motion graphicsThe Adobe Illustrator to After Effects workflowand so much more!More course details:First, you'll get started with the basics of 3D in After Effects, enabling 3D options and working in 3D space. You'll learn how to turn flat shape layers into 3-dimensional ones. Add lights and materials to the 3D space. Add cameras and work with cameras to create dynamic animations. Once you understand the basics of working with 3D, you'll complete several practical projects. These include adding subtle 3D shapes and text to make your motion graphics pop; turning a flat logo from Adobe Illustrator into a 3D animation; and morphing 3D type. With the skills learned in this course, you will be well on your way to creating your own advanced and eye-catching 3D animations right within After Effects.There's no reason to hesitate.If you're interested in 3D and you want to learn the essentials to get you started, then make sure you join this After Effects class!Cheers,Phil Ebiner & Sunny Heera
