The core of this course is a beginner-level introduction to 3D space inside Adobe After Effects. If you've never worked in 3D before, Chris and Trish Meyer build up your knowledge base step-by-step explaining what's different between 2D and 3D, then moving through cameras and lights – including how to build camera rigs and manage shadows. Once you've become familiar with those bedrock skills, Chris then demonstrates several different workflows for creating 3D objects inside Adobe Photoshop and importing them in After Effects. A set of sidebar movies at the end share additional tips on the difference between 3D rotation and orientation, using the different Axis Modes, and how to maintain maximum quality in 3D. As always, Chris and Trish put parameters and techniques in a real-world context, explaining what settings they use and why.
