After Effects Tutorial: Futuristic 3D Text with Trapcode Form

[@BakersTuts]

make sure the preview frame rate next to your ram preview button is the same as your composition settings. an easy way to fix it is to set it to (auto)

[@BakersTuts]

soon buddy! imma try to find time this weekend to actually finish it

[@jumpingchino]

best tutorial to date now. This is a great starting point for anyone

[@BakersTuts]

yes this may be easier and more accurate. but! you would have to reexport a new obj everytime you wanted to change/alter the text or logo. this method is procedural :)

[@darkgrenchler]

I believe theres a "disperse" setting which causes the particles to kinda scatter. Its different than Fractal. If you want the particles to still be in a line, but have some particles missing here and there, I would recommend going back to the original colored-text layer and removing bits and pieces from it either manually using masks to make the text look like swiss cheese, or use a fractal noise that's very dark in some spots.

Congratz on 68k Baker

[@BakersTuts]

Do you guys want an intro template for this? For texts and logos and whatnot?

[@BakersTuts]

I also forgot to mention: Set the size randomness of the particles to 75%

[@shauryamishra]

dude ppl like like you make difference in life of us fellow learners thanks and keep posting such amazing stufff ....

[@PhoeniXonDuty]

yeh BAker i alway wanna know how bytecut made this and now i finally found a tutorial to make it !!! Thanks a lot Baker!

[@ShapedEdits]

I'm Sooooo excited for the community Montage!!!!!

[@alancapc]

couldn't get the camera options to work properly, any thoughts? Awesome tutorial by the way lad!

[@Diegovdx11]

I combined this with the Animated arrow and it looks awesome :D

[@steelydanify]

hey man awesome tutorial. I have one question the particles seem very structured in their set paths. is there a way of randomizing the particles soo they dont look so sequenced?...

[@CollierDZN]

baker sick tutorial , but one question where do you learn all this stuff your self ?

[@SynThenize]

Nice baker, Love Your tuturials!

[@FaelBlackout]

I could ask this on probably all thr videos on your channel: How the hell you learn this stuff???! youre awesome!

[@SwarmUnity]

Amazing Tutorial, I am just finishing up mine, thanks Baker :D

[@Jexzi]

Nice tut . How many possible ways to make 3d text is their on ae

[@BakersTuts]

...laptop?

[@alessandro.felici]

Ig you put effort in it, you can start from pretty hard things. I personally started AE to make moving 3D text and it was easy :) If you want to start go for it bro!!

[@OhDareZ]

Baker can u do a tutorial on how to do a clean slowmo effect to sync shots with ? :)

[@smurfandturfer]

Hey baker could you do a video with just a list of all the plugins and extra program's you use just so that we can find em all without digging through every video again to find it

[@masculater]

Baker, I have some problems with my Camera and Null. When I try to keyframe the position and rotation, only the first keyframe works. But when I make another one, it doesn't update. So it stays in the same place, only when I go forward or backwards a few frames it updates once in a while. Do you know if the camera only works with certain FPS or something?

[@TfoeEdits]

amazing, love this plugin!

[@TheEditing4Fun]

please reply baker .. why is necesary make the outline? and how set matte, invert and chocker make the outline' THE ALPHA?

[@evansconcept]

would you show us how to do the flickering squares katha uses in the original example, at the bit where he uses form

[@TheCurlyTail]

Hey Baker! Thanks for the Tuts!

[@Cammkill]

Sick Baker!

[@ExtaseEdits]

Pls show more with trapcode plugins, they r amazing :*

[@DarkorbitKing100]

RAM preview depends on how much ram you have. If you have only 6 gigs of ram, it won't ram preview far, depends on what you're previewing. If you have 8 or 24 gigs, it'll go much further.

[@JDRMProductions]

baker you should do a tut on trapcode form transitions

[@TheMrExton]

Thanks man I've been looking for ideas for an intro

[@helloamill]

Is there still going to be a community montage 2?

[@NaftaTorque]

Ok if anyone had the same problem as me goto form options(the effect you added) and goto render mode be sure to select Full Render + DOF. DOF= Depth of Field that's the problem if you can't see the DOF when you preview.

[@tonton9598]

is it possible to render a 1080p video in a 1280x720 comp in after effects?

[@TheEditing4Fun]

what set matte and chocker and inver make the outline?

[@PrismsEdits]
