In this series of After Effects tutorials, we will learn how to create a 3D fly-through effect in After Effects with assets created from images that we break down in Photoshop.
We begin in Photoshop with the images and start to dissect the photos to get the parts we need for building our shot. We learn a few masking and painting techniques to fill in the gaps for some of the areas that are covered up in the photos. Then, we dive into After Effects and start building our scene by laying the ground, sky, and tree layers. Read more…

In this CINEMA 4D training we will learn how to use CINEMA 4D’s animation tools to create a convincing run cycle.
We’ll start by taking a look at our rig and figuring out a rotation order that would work best for our needs. We’ll then jump right in an start blocking in the run: adding extremes and breakdowns. Once this step is finished, we’ll begin polishing the animation, which includes refining arcs, achieving realistic weight, as well as solidifying each pose. We’ll also learn how to mirror animation to work faster, as well as how to translate the run forward. Read more…
