360-degree image sequences are an amazing resource for your motion design pieces. Objects captured in horizontal slices around an image are very versatile and useful assets. Learn how to create spinning hero elements, diverse sprites, and contemporary grids or patterns. We make use of some expressions to have fine control over which slice of the image sequence we're seeing, and play with some particle systems. It's a real refreshing blending of technique in this one.
here is the expression used in the tutorials:
var a = thisLayer.effect("Angle Control")("Angle")%360;
var n = linear(a,0,360,0,16);
n

[@JonathanWinbush]

Oh dang man at first I totally thought you did it stop motion style while taking a few photos to make a sequence.

[@ECAbrams]

I don't have the patience for stop motion. I'll leave that to @kevinparry around here.

[@megasundari3184]

oohh wooowwww it's amazing

Muito bom, vou atualizar. Very good. I will update.

[@nathaliaaugusta1963]

It doesn’t quite go into the sa level as detail as Lypur’s videos, but it gives you a great overview of the “basics” - so that you can start

[@rohithpadikkal7082]

excuse me but who is lypur?

[@collinsani9554]

I love your voice

YESS

[@rananthajothi3658]

willing to learn. Unless you already understand setups, then I gues sit's gonna be easier, but as a classically trained pianist I was blown

[@youssefmairouche7866]

and build tracks from there and leave the rest for a later session. I did both but did the first way initially and it took a day to get through

[@franzformer3000]

Thank you so much for your time and efforts. I purchased the Premium Membership at Yellow Images, but i am having trouble to download the whole 360 sequence in one step. I only see the option to load one at a time. Anybody else troubled by this?

[@iquittv1915]

Well to be fair shape of you lody softs just like the first random notes that popped into Nice tutorials head

ball is life

[@rahfihidayatulloh1237]

Aweso

[@surojeetsingha]

yes

[@blackleg13]

i was doing this like 12 years ago, being low in fps making it look not so good, still saves time for non 3d guys. I still prefer c4d or for AE try using element 3D for much much better quality and lots of control out of it

[@0802894633banto]

help, I'm definitely starting to get the hang of it. Just thought I'd share.

[@mohd.shahid7163]

[@madhavsingh8314]

Hi, back in your DNA strand video can you make tutorial for the background circular reveal animation. I have been going at it for about 2 days and haven't figured it out. I was using alpha matt for doing so but there was background color issue.

[@ECAbrams]

What was the issue you were having specifically?

[@assessoriadecomunicacao6504]

project templates) and import stuff in.

[@duckhorse2563]

it's been a minute.

[@andrewdouglas846]

Hi Evan, would it be possible to load a complete 360° photo object into after effects and somehow move/rotate a camera around it in a faux 3D way? I can imagine you'd need to lock your 3d camera into the angled increments the images were taken. I can imagine such a rig, but have no idea how to make it (outside of setting these things up manually)

[@ECAbrams]

I like this idea very much. What we would want to do is link the time remap property to the angle of the camera to object vector. So if the camera is orbited 90 degrees from the object it displays the frame that goes with that angle. It's definitely a methodology worth exploring and has the added benefit of being very nostalgic. I'm pretty sure that's how old games like Doom made character sprites seem 3d but I might be mistaken on that score.

[@alyssonalbuquerquealysson667]

worked for . On default it was at Agressive TE for but I clicked to the right

[@mlememe9541]

A bit too fast for me but, still, brilliant as always

I thought it was a hoax, but everything works!

Can u teach how to use nexus

[@Fre3ze562]

If you click on the blue "Bank" section where it says "appes" on the GMS a pop-up will co up where you can change your app style

Where I can get the files?

Drop more vids for beginners

[@elinaosipova6052]

Awesome tricks, thanks a lot! I just cannot figure it out how to rotate the object in the third axis. Could you give me a tip, please?

[@ECAbrams]

That'll have to be for the advanced mode. If we have 16 horizontal slices, times 16 vertical slices, we'll need controls that take us through both axis kinda simultaneously picking the right fame on the time remap. Definitely will be the next evolution of this concept though AND something cool we can use to rig claymation or stop motion characters too :)

[@elinaosipova6052]

@@ECAbrams Thanks a lot! I'm not sure I know such an advanced controller in AE, but it;s fun to think about it.

[@afnanabed899]

thank u, but we need all footage plz

[@FernandoMorales-mk5jj]

in my channel rack i have “808 kick” as my default and not just “kick” why

[@madalinpirvu2426]

11:00 - Is there a way to achieve this without Trapcode Particular? atm the only option in AE is Particle World 2, but doesn't seem to create the same results. Any suggestions please? Thanks!

[@ECAbrams]

many particle systems work the same way and can use layers as the texture of the particles. I would look into those options in any particle system you look to deploy. Some of the particle effects that come with after effects have this option.

[@franciasantana595]

How can we crate those 360° Image Sequences ourselves? Any tutoriales already available?

[@evanabrams2735]

I think the term usually used would be a turntable animation. It's done a lot in modelling in 3d to show off assets. I'm sure someone has covered that concept extensively. It's really just rotating the model or orbiting the camera and rendering off a png sequence.

Big naiob

[@SteevMy]

Hi everyone. When I select the png images to import, only the "import multiple sequence" option comes out and not "png sequence". Why? :(

[@HeartandSoulApothecary]

This is why I miss Fireworks that was bought by PS, but some of its original handy to use ‘macros’ back in the day as they were known as, made importing a sequence or exporting one, even at different sizes or whatever else you asked of a series of Png files, it would follow suit - including super easy to make gifs and animations.... some of which has been incorporated into After Effects and other apps.

[@meltdown1968]

I have no need to spin fruit anytime soon, I just like to watch Evan Abrams as a lesson in humility, to remind myself after 5 years I still know nothing about this program (sorry, "App", showing my age). The guy is not of this world.

[@bindu996]

Can you make this without a 360 image? or can you somehow make a 360 image by yourself either with photography or editing? I'd like to try this with some objects that aren't available on yellow images

[@ECAbrams]

Technically you could use any image sequence really. The trick is isolating your subject matter if you want a similar final output. But at a base level you just need an image sequence. There has been some interest in seeing how such a thing could be created so, we might get into it.

[@bindu996]

ECAbrams thank you for your reply! I was thinking if I take an image and adjust the lighting or add 3D to make a sequence it might create something similar, idk! A tutorial on this would be fantastic! You’re a superhero!

[@pezcue937]

Whenever I put the particles to explode, all the sprites disappear? wtf
