    I've been working with after effects for the past 12 years and knew most of the shortcuts and some more (press U to open/hide all key frames) yet the 17 minute video felt like watching a 2 minutes crash course. One of the best after effects tutorial I've watched. Keep it up guys. I'm gonna promote and share this with many more.

    Holy moly, you taught me like two days of trial&error in 17 minutes! It's very obvious that you actually enjoy not only tinkering with AEE, but also the actual teaching. You are amazing.

    Dude this is the best tutorial ive ever seen. I love how you don't go too fast and don't gloss over minor details that get you super lost with other tutorials. I look forward to doing more with you. Thanks bro

    NOW YOU ARE A REAL TEACHER....i have watched other videos and all they did was did moves. But never really explain why they are moving the way they are moving. Which told me that they were just copying others, but I can tell you know what you are doing. thanks, so merch....lolllll

    Wow! Blew my mind here with this one...didn't know this was possible. I'm a C4D guy mainly and comp in AE. Nick, this is your jam...this tech is great for showing traditional graphic designers how to comp 3D styleframes. Agree with below, very Video Co Pilot style...amazing tips, focused, and funny/relaxed. Great job!

    If you click the "1 view" dropdown and select "2 views" then click on the "active camera" dropdown and select "custom view 1" then you'll be able to see a secondary view of your 3d space which can help with placing lights and other objects spatially.

    What is great about the approach from GSC is that it tackles 3D in a way that other tutorials don't. To add to the coolness, is that it comes from the C4D experts and that in itself is ultra cool!

    I seem to be having an issue where the beveled edges are too sharp and don't catch the light. Is there some setting that I have missed? Currently they look like black strokes.
    Edit: Just found the problem. The stroke color was set to black; making it transparent solved the issue.

    @Uncouth 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The lights are hell to work with. Right now I'm stuck without a visual representation of the light position. The bevels on the text are also black, and I can't find a way to add texture to my text's surface.. After Effects sure is something first getting into!

    • @Lgarbss
      @Lgarbss 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      My bevels are also black, anyone know how to change this?

    • @Uncouth
      @Uncouth 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Lgarbss I found a workaround. There's a button in the effects menu called "Animate" which gives you a bevel color option. I just went in there and changed it to the same color as my letters. (Result in the first seconds of my latest video.)
      Weird how it's needed, but it works. Still haven't found a way to get a more realistic texture though.
