I've watched a couple of videos and this is the best way so far! easy to follow

[@talis.mp4]

just a tip you can make the rotation infinite if you click the little clock while holding the ALT key, then down in your Layer Menu will appear text, there you just type "times*250" or try different values to find the one that suits you more

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Absolutely right, it will be chanllenging to create a loop that way though

OMG. Thank You again! Shatter... I never knew it existed. Well, I got my image extruded and videos projected on all the surfaces. Thanks!

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Who would've thought shatter effect could do such things😂

[@VidarrKerr]

@@SmertimbaGraphics This was so unexpected. This was so awesome! edit: I am going thru your videos (so much good stuff, wish I had time to watch all)... Looking for something that is like when the Predator in the movie is camouflaged, you can still kind of see him, it looks maybe like light and images are wrapping around him to make him look invisible, then, when he shuts of the cammo, it is like he comes out of nowhere, like out of a mirror, or like the mirror effect turns off(?). I'm sure you've seen at least one of the Predator movies! You have a transition video, but it isn't quite what I need to know.

[@Tostemac]

Hello again, I was trying the method again from the other video, sadly it just won't work as an illustrator file, too many layers it ended up overwhelming AE. So I looked up this method instead and it seems to be working. There is a problem I am facing though, along some of the edges of the image there appears to be cracks or openings that I can see through, any idea what is going on and how to fix this?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Hmm, does it also appear after being rendered or just in the preview? Are you referring to this video you've tried: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ3Fk4Rmh6qIqMU

[@NakuruKouChannel]

hello, just wanted to thank you for the fantastic tutorial and a question! is it possible to have a different texture on the two sides of the spinning object?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Hi, you can assign different layers to front and back, first add a new layer, add whatever effects you want to it, then in shatter - texture settings select it as back layer and choose effects & masks property next to it.

[@RyanLeeProjects]

thanks a lot!! if you can just help - for round logos - how to flip back texture, so that both the side of coin looks same

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

It's a bit tricky, but possible. add the same logo file(or whatever it is) right click, transform, flip horizontal, then precompose the flipped logo and turn off its visibility, then in textures settings set back layer to that flipped/hidden layer and it should work

[@pete-g-yih]

Great video, cheers. I have a question - how do you set the anchor point to the middle of the object (half way into the extrusion) so it rotates around that point, rather than the anchor point being on the front face?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

In that case you should add a camera layer, then a null object, make it 3d and parent the camera to the null, then animate Y rotation on the null object, it will make it rotate evenly on all sides

Yeah you can set rotation value to 2 or move keyframes closer to each other. Not sure about the edge though

[@HebiOne]

@@SmertimbaGraphics thank you. As far as exporting goes what should I do? I’m a complete noob sorry

Ctrl + M shortcut for render, select h.264 format, match sequence settings high bitrate preset, then select output folder and export✅

[@Azza23]

Any way to make the back side not look the same? For example I am spinning an emblem with text so when its showing the back side it would be cool if I could make that a solid color or a gradient

Thank you! I'm having trouble with the logo going black half way through the rotation. Do you know why this could be?

I've seen people comment about that before, but I could not replicate the issue on my end, still don't know what the cause is🤔

[@emilythornberg2170]

@@SmertimbaGraphics I somewhat found a solution. I think the problem is that my logo is white and the side color I tried to do was a dark grey/black. So when it rotated to the back it was not white but the dark grey color. I fixed it by making the side color a white. It doesn’t have the depth and dimension like before but it works.

How can I make my logo after creating this effect, speed up the animation and then make it infinite loop??

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

To speed up the animation you can decrease the distance between the keyframes and to loop you can add a loopout expression to the rotation property

[@justinnguyen2599]

is there a way to make it spin faster instead of slower for a gif animation export

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Sure, decrease the time between the keyframes to speed up the animation

@@SmertimbaGraphics Do i decrease the keyframes on the Y rotation

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

@justinnguyen2599 No, just move the second keyframe closer to the left

@@SmertimbaGraphics Thank you, It worked. also is there a way to make the sides of the logo a chome glossy color instead of just a solid

Sadly not with this method. That would be a little tricky doing without plugins, but if you have element 3d plugin available, then you can do it there

Try adding an adjustment layer with cc force motion blur or pixel motion blur

[@Irrelevanc3]

is there a way to speed up the rotation?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Sure, just move the second keyframe closer to the first, that will speed up the animation or increase the value of the second keyframe by 2 or 3 times
