March 11th, 2010 by Edward

In this tutorial, we’re going in depth to create a baseball animation. One of the cool things you can do with 3D Warps is to create interesting reveals. So, we’ll go over how to create an animation where a baseball splits open to reveal a baseball player!

Topics discussed:

• Applying 3D Warps correctly.

• Mixing 3D Invigorator, 3D Warps, and After Effects 3D Layers together.

• Learn how to create an animation path with an After Effects 3D Layer, and use it as a tracker layer.

• Applying scaling and rotation for a nice ball animation.

• Casting shadows onto After Effects 3D Layers.

• Adding cool effects from Zaxwerks Easy Glow to enhance the looks.


Be sure to download 3D Layer Warps version 1.5.1 to have all the latest bug fixes!
