Extrude 3d Letters « Evan Abrams – Video and Graphic Design
Make your words, letters, whatever 3d inside adobe after effects! No plugins or fancy expensive 3d programs needed! All boring vanilla after effects. All you need is a little expression and a lot of duplicating. So we can’t actually make something “really” 3d but we can make it “fake” or “imaginary” 3d using many layers like plywood or 3d printers. 3d printing is so hot right now right? The expression used is: value+[0,0,index*thisComp.layer("Controls").effect("Slider")("Slider")] BUT the “thisComp.layer(“Controls”).effect(“Slider”)(“Slider”)” needs to be changed to whatever your slider control is… so use the pick whip to make it happen. For those who are wondering duplicate is ctrl+d or command+d as a short cut and I use it a lot of a lot of times in this one.

How do I make Whiteboard Write-on Effects?
By Michele Yamazaki on Jan 13, 2015 at 10:34 AM Over the weekend, I was asked, “Do you know of any After Effects plug-in that automate the whiteboard drawn on effect?” which quickly evolved into, “Okay, so how do I create this effect?”. I’ll explore the write-on effect in AE and a few other hosts. Here's an example of a whiteboard reveal effect from the RSA. So, is there a plug-in for After Effects? Believe it or not, the write-on effect was one of the first cool things I learned to do back in After Effects 3.1. Create a Write on Effect in After Effects What I've found is that the effect is not a difficult effect to achieve, but it can be very time consuming. Here's the general process that I recommended: 1. 2. 3. Method 1: You could use linear wipes to reveal the elements, layer by layer, if its very simple. 4. An even easier method would be to record yourself writing with a tablet and play that back. AE Basics 30: The Write-on Effect Pencil Write-On Effect Other options for After Effects
Motionographer Adam Plouff: Building Tools for Animators
“If I’m known for anything, it’s the utilization of some of the more obscure features in After Effects and a weirdo obsession with mathematical phenomena,” explained Adam Plouff. Recently, the Atlanta-based animator has been expanding his skill set beyond keyframes and diving deep into code. Last week he released RubberHose, an After Effects plugin that makes pliable character rigs a snap. I was interested in how Adam started down the tool-building path, so I asked him a few questions to find out more. How did you get started building tools for After Effects? Since all the way back into college, I’ve had a fascination with people making art with code. Usually, about once a year, I would get the urge to dive into the Processing language for a couple of weeks. Then in the summer of 2014, Sander Van Dijk released Ouroboros. This was the point in my career where I started thinking in terms of building systems and tools rather than a one-off animations done by hand. I do agree with that.
