Animating a Fake 3D Rubik's Cube - After Effects Tutorial

[@AndrewMarston]

Great fake 3D effect. Nice use of the null to add the width during rotation. Thanks.

[@OliverRandorff]

You’re very welcome! At first something was looking odd, and after looking for some reference photos online, I realized that it had to increase in width to really sell the effect.

[@kelvinpraises]

Hey Oliver thanks, I'll take note to add smooth jittery movements for a 2d game I'll make!

[@OliverRandorff]

That's great to hear!

[@CEtro569]

Big tip, when you're linking all the colour properties to your master colour control layer, click the "lock" icon next to your effects control panel in the top right and this will lock that layer's effects to view until you unlock it, so you don't have to go back and forth clicking the main layer over and over again.

Thank you! Let’s just say that I have put in my 10.000 hours (at least), spending a lot of my time animating for the past 9 years. My ideas are often based on everyday objects, so things around me 🙌

[@ZOOPERS]

that was a very good tutorial, i learnt something new today, but i wanna say you can lock the effect control panel, while parenting colors

[@cmdaltctr]

EXACTLY WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR! THANK YOU! HEHEHE.

[@OliverRandorff]

You are very welcome!

[@apnajakatayy]

Good job Sir keep it up

[@OliverRandorff]

Thanks, will do!

[@angolodicarlo]

Would be cool to see this complete on every of its face.

[@OliverRandorff]

Indeed! That would take a bit more time to create - but definitely possible

[@businesshub8860]

Greeeeeeaattttt❤

[@IsionIndustries]

I never thought about animating the scale axis like that for faux 3D. I’ve just been animating path points and sometimes there are a ton of path points to animate. This scale axis technique wouldn’t work too well with shapes with strokes right.

[@abdulvakil25]

Can you do a tutorial on Animating a Car/Truck?

[@OliverRandorff]

I'll note it done for sure

[@abdulvakil25]

@@OliverRandorff thanks))

[@marcschwinn477]

How did you group the shapes on layers without using pre-composition?

[@OliverRandorff]

Simply select a shape layer when creating new shapes, and they will become part of that same shape layer. Although I create my illustrations in Illustrator and export them to After Effects using an extension called "Overlord".
