⛰️ 3D TERRAIN in Adobe After Effects ⛰️ GEOlayers 3 + Helium

This 3D terrain works with native After Effects cameras, and will cast shadows from lights. Oooohh lala.

[@SuperDeepesh]

Great Monday Maps again ❤

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Thanks!

[@sensesanimation]

Thank you! As always a very useful video. Good luck and inspiration to you!

[@Debubbleization]

Thanks a lot! Played around with those in the past weeks. Perfect time for new knowledge in that field

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Glad to hear that!

[@jasonrussellwaters7755]

Long Live Lord Boone!

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Fingers crossed. :)

[@jondowlervideos]

This is great and I have been having issues with working out the edges of 3d maps- great easy tip on making precomp! Thanks Boone!

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@wansharis]

Always you are the best ❤

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Thanks!

[@UncoveredGeo]

Hey Boone, I've made a video similar to this, but when I go to render it out, it says that after effects has run out of memory and can't export the video. I tried playing with the memory settings, but it still hasn't seemed to work. Thanks!

Try to Purge your cache.

[@AndrieSusa]

Hi thanks for this video, I have e little problem... My Terrain effect is missing and I can't recover it anywhere, what can I do? I have MAC M1 Max and the last official AE

[@Hix066]

Another great tut Jason. I think the limitation in the DoF is down to lens selection. In photography even wide open a 25mm lens will have quite a broad depth of field. Maybe shortening the focus distance may yield better results, but with a wide lens you’d always struggle. A shift to 35mm or 50mm may be better, b ut that would also affect the wide mess of the view. Hope that helps somewhat?

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Of course! I completely forget to try this. That totally helps. Thank you!

[@Hix066]

@@BooneLovesVideo at least I can do something to help someone.

[@DamianHanley239]

Very nice. Your brought up another great idea in you video... Maybe a crash course on lighting? Like 'best practices on lighting techniques for each specific light type"... and focus on spot and ambient and how they behave together (since that seems to be most of what is used)... just a thought... great tutorial... buying that plugin now :)

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Great idea Damian! I just need to get good at lighting first...

[@GabrieleTropiano]

I was all happy and satisfied using Helium until... when you use Geolayers combined and you actually move the view on the Controller to follow a path for example, it messes up with the height map and create a sort of flickering of the mountains 😬😬 did anybody experienced this?

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Whoa for real? Open a support ticket on aescripts. It shouldn't be doing that.

[@Ted52]

Thanks for the overview! Are there 3D service alternatives that do NOT require active subscriptions? I find the prospect of adding yet another subscription to my Adobe package, which is expensive enough as is, rather unappealing.

[@BooneLovesVideo]

I hear you. As far as I know, Mettle Freeform Pro and Plexus don't have subscriptions.

[@ashleyj9938]

Any chance you can denote the differences visually between Helium, Mettle FreeForm Pro, and Plexus pertaining to GeoLayers 3? It seems the Mettle plug-in renders a more dramatic 3D elevation compared to Helium. Is this correct? I’m really thinking about getting GeoLayers & a 3D plug-in, but don’t know which one to purchase. Also, any chance you might have an upcoming discount or current deal on your GeoLayers 3 Master Class?

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Hey Ashley, I'm not totally clear on the differences between the 3rd party apps, as I've only used Mettle and Helium. They all have additional features that makes them incredibly powerful, as well as entirely different pricing structures. You should download them as free trials to test out. Pretty sure you can do this with almost all of them. And yes, going to run a Black Friday sale on the course.

[@Debubbleization]

Is there a way to add 3d labels or like 3d height scalebars for mountains?

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Haven't played with this, so I don't know.

[@BiteSizeNarratives]

Please make the animated history battle like historymarche channel

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Great suggestion! Thanks.

[@anhleroy]

How does this compare to the Google maps extension (spacing on the name) in Adobe Aero?

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Say whaaaaaaaaaa never heard of this tool / workflow.

[@andremonteiro1506]

Pointing a spot light directly down on it is not a good example to show how the light affects the map but other than that it was a great tutorial.

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Great point!

[@diegomarinho1322]

Is there another way to avoid the embarassing cropping?

[@BooneLovesVideo]

hahahaha it's embarassing?
