Just a heads up this effect only works with the Classic 3d Render not Cinema 4d. If when you hit the collapse transformation button your stroke disappears, try changing the 3d renderer to "Classic Renderer" in Comp Settings

After years in after effects. This is the best channel with the best approach! thanks.

[@taylorpost8347]

One thing that wasn't mentioned was that you have to use the pan behind tool (y) to adjust the origin of the cube. Although FANTASTIC tutorial overall, thanks a bunch.

[@hordsorg1770]

[@shikomartins]

Thanks forth this amazing tutorial (fun, simple and straightforward)! It's a much better way to create a cube than the one I use to do!

[@eliasmillerart]

Beautifully streamlined tutorial! I did have some issues with the snapping function not really working, so I ended up going to the transform tab in each side to make sure their anchor and position points were all accurate to a 300x300px cube. Took a bit longer but its just as exact ;) If you know how to fix the snapping function problem please let me know

[@Sonnydalo]

I have the same problem :(

[@eliasmillerart]

If you're trying to make a solid cube with this technique, I used the fill effect instead of the stroke effect, and don't forget you will need to make a top and a bottom face for your solid cube ;)

[@ravifleming]

This is the exact tutorial I was looking for. Thank u❤

Took me 2hour to finally did this... set the anchor point to one side is really important! It works finally! Wonder how can we adjust the rotate centre to the centre of the cube?

[@faizs1130]

how did you set the anchor point to a side

[@KabeeshS]

A tutorial with memes? Wow. I immediately subbed you guys.

[@mohamadalizadeh4813]

[@pierrickphoto8498]

Hey guys, how at 1:55 the line of the first square becomes visible ? For me even if I checked the "snap" box, it is not as easy to move and precisely snap the faces because the anchor points of the unselected faces do not light up. Thanks !!

[@eliasmillerart]

Hey @pierrick photo I had the same issue with the snapping function, so instead I went into the transform tab and made sure the anchor and position points were all accurate to a 300x300px cube. Hope this helps! :)

This method is super useful, thanks! Unfortunately, I encountered an issue; trying to use a camera with depth of field enabled doesn't seem to work. I think it may be related to the Continuously Rasterize switch. Can someone help me with a workaround?

Once you've done this how do you go back to change colours if needed? I created an animation using this tutorial which worked fine and now need to change the colours of the stroke and fill (I needed a solid box) but cant see for the life of me where its changed.

how do I change cube's stroke?

[@FrancescoPaggiaro]

hahahahh, so fun love that

[@FherMeza]

OMFG. I did wrong (and harder) my whole life. When I wanted to create a 3D cube I used the "beam effect" attached to 3D nulls with "toComp" expression at each vertex.

[@processandbeing]

I'd like to put a cartoon face on each side of a cube. Is it possible to have a comp's scale parameter linked to the smaller of two scale values so the comp is always proportionally accurate but can still scale with the cube? I figure that I need to link a comp's scale to some expression that says "choose the smaller of Layer-Q's X and Y values to drive this layer's scale" but I don't know how to write that in expressions. I really need to find a good course on AE, especially focusing on expressions

[@SOM_-sy6pv]

when I hit claps transformation the layer appear again, WHYYYY?! (I also put the paint style on transparent)

[@aliakll4090]

wow

[@jacobnewnham1719]

How do I get the centre point to snap to that anchor point at 1:48? I have snapping on but it seems like that's not doing anything?

[@Logoanimationservice]

hold ctrl

[@ololo9283]

I have the same problem. I use the Pan Behind tool, and the anchor snaps, but the rectangle shape doesn't move with it. If I don't use the Pan Behind tool, I cannot snap to anything. Tried ctrl. No luck either. EDIT: I eventually resolved it using an alternate method, which is just moving the anchor point to the other side and rotating another 90 degrees, and doing that again for the 3rd and 4th squares. Still leads to the same end result.

[@nannan6867]

While the Composition panel is in focus, choose View > View Options and uncheck 3D Transform Gizmo.

[@Termoteh]

Use Motion Graph 3.0 plugins to move the ancor points

[@j.b.flores1383]

The stroke dissapears the moment I activate collapse transformations, any help?

[@videofootage_OLIVECREA]

me too..Have you found any solution? :(

[@j.b.flores1383]

@@videofootage_OLIVECREA One possible solution: If you are using Cinema4D renderer for 3D layers, the stroke disappears when you activate collapse. Changing the renderer to classic 3D or Raytraced will solve this problem. You can change the 3D renderer if you access your composition settings by pressing Ctrl+K (Cmd+K on a mac). Hope this helps, at least it has worked for me!
