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!
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
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.
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?
I have the same problem it goes black but if i added the layer style before it doesnt turn black but the stroke doesnt appear either please if anyone have a solution tell me

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.
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?
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.
it's actually the collapse transformations button, not the continuously rasterize button 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 can you believe that's my comment on this great video
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
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.

The way to animate with text animators always twists my brain. It's a little bit like programming. But very powerful nonetheless.
Found this via Jake in Motion and immediately used it in a project. Such a great tutorial and easy to follow. Thank you!

You’re such a dude Nick! Never stop!
Wow, solid tutorial. So much gold in here. Thanks as always for the great content on your channels.
my favourite tutorials by a long chalk! Thanks for taking the time to make them, and to make them entertaining
I think this is the first time I have ever found myself landing on a tutorial that "premieres" at a future date. Epic!
most unhinged after effects workspace ive ever seen, respectfully
such a good video! i didnt know some tools you use in this vid. thx !
Awesome thank youu!

Thanks bro. Your tutorial is awesome
Thanks a lot Nick!!

Nice
Nice one!

Great video
i have a problem when i precomb and add layer style than switch the renderer to classic 3d the stroke doesnt appear
how much ram do u have?

Hiii. What font you used for this?

do you know how to fix cinema 4d problem?
Hey! When I precomp the 3d text from c4d renderer and then change the renderer to classic 3d the extruded text disappears what is the problem?
the comp with the 3D extrusion must be in c4d
Ive found that when you apply a layer style to the precomp is when it will work
I have the same problem it goes black but if i added the layer style before it doesnt turn black but the stroke doesnt appear either please if anyone have a solution tell me
@@niccuzu bingo. 🙏

i really like brо, thank you
“69%” 😉😏
I didnt know you could extrude text in AE! 🤯 Great tutorial 👍
There are some great text extrusions tutorials out there, but not so many which combine C4D renderer with text animators as this one does
ya learn something new everyday!

Wow, amazing tutorial. I just learned at least 10 new things.
awesome to hear!
You're a life saver!
So far the only tutorial I've seen that takes it slow and doesn't require prior experience to soft design.
Finally I've been waiting for this 😬
Hey there, how can we add subtitles in which each word is highlighted as the person speaks? (After Effects)
And that’s probably the video Jake talked about! Great stuff here!
Hi! i have an issue with after effects for weeks now and i’m wondering if you can help
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?
music was too much in "Lesson Inception". really hard to concentrate, other than that really good lesson, thanks!
Wow man this is great thanks for doing this.... ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Just subscribed you!! Jake in Motion sent me here!! Cool stuff man ! :D
Amazing, I like it! Today I'll create "Brave Ukraine" based on this tutorial.
Great tutorial Nick! Thanks duuuuuude. I'm all about dat modular way of life.

Love your stuff. Great unique solutions.
That's great to learn from you🙏 Thanks you❤
I think this will be the gateway to my first adventure with 3D...then I'll try blender and you stairs tutorial I think...
Wow thank you! This is exactly what I needed because I WAS doing 3D text in the wrong workflow.
glad I came to class 😍
👩🏫
Absolutely fantastic video. Thank you very much!
Great tutorial, clearly laid out and easy to follow. Can't wait to make some stuff
Thank You. what's your opinion on the new 3d feature in after effects beta version?
if you may show us in a video.
the easing value you used might be the most crucial part of this video. I hope everyone finds it.
Nice tutorial - tho that music loop - distract central.
Hey Nick, fab tutorial and appreciate the downloads! Cheers!
this is like english grammer for me as an arabian man😂
it's actually the collapse transformations button, not the continuously rasterize button 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 can you believe that's my comment on this great video
i believe it!
thanks, great tutorial. I din't know it can be done in that way
i was looking for this tutorial for a long time, thank u!
GOLD! Thank you
Thanks a lot man
Tnx-a-lot!
i love you
OUTSTANDING!
thanks for this!
Really cool tutorial. Just wondering if there is a way to add a Z dimension to the group alignment?
Great stuff ✌
Subbed
nice one
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
please let me know if you figured it out, stuck on the same thing :(
Amazing tutorial!
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.
When you are in doubt, go with 69. Cannot hurt.
-Nick
6:09 thats not a co incidence right SUS
how can we add gradient text when cinema 4d rendering is enable?
you can always drop it into another precomp and change the renderer back
Hey Which Mac are you using? And Is it working well with 3d work in after effects? Are you using Apple Silicon Mac?
M1 macbook Air. They are suprisingly powerful. Can’t handle 3D stuff super well but great for day to day after effects.
@@motionbynick Do you think Latest m1 max 16 inch will Handle the 3d tasks and Blender?
