Trim Paths, DUH! The first 2 minutes of this video saved me hours of my life. Thank you!

[@OliverRandorff]

Hahaha, took me a while banging my head against the wall, as 3D didn’t work with radial wipe, before I realised that I could use trim paths. Glad you find it useful!

[@andybarbo]

@@OliverRandorff If you HAD to, could you pre-comp a circle with radial wipe and make that a 3D element?

[@OliverRandorff]

Andy Barbo I don’t think so, but don’t quote me on that. Either way the other way around, you have a lot more control, and the trim paths follows the circle - radial wipe doesn’t, as you have to decide it’s center.

[@unfoldlab]

[@OliverRandorff]

Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed!

[@meganchristensen3378]

THANK YOU! I've been using AE for years, but I still learned a few new skills. Love it!

[@OliverRandorff]

That’s awesome to hear!

[@Karbonjack]

Long video, but well worth it. Brilliant, Thank you my friend

[@ytbaccount5513]

Exeptional tutorial, very good job!

[@joachimcronquist]

Fantastic video. It is very easy to follow along 👌😀

[@OliverRandorff]

That’s so great to hear, thank you!

[@Lizzardking]

Thank you for this fantastic tutorial. Just one question, what are you using in order to have the colour palette on screen without adding layers? I mean the 3 circles top, left.

[@hzoli888]

This is a very useful lesson for me. Thanks!

[@OliverRandorff]

I’m glad to hear that!

[@rosacheung2286]

Thank you Oliver!! It's very useful! :)

[@techhfreakk]

You saved my life!

[@khaliltaysir5508]

Thank you , but it donsn't work cinma 4d I don't know why

[@engelbrecht777]

Can we "animate" the numbers so they start 0 and end with the wanted value? PS: Tak for en fed tut og fedt at se en her i ålleren der nørder med AE :-D

[@slaterT]

Hey Oliver, great stuff! what do i do if i want to have more than 2 keyframes? what do i do with the expression to get the animation working on the next keyframes?

[@abimaki3352]

extremely useful! thank you!

[@chandlerplusbass]

Hey Oliver, fantastic tutorial! I have a question however. When I have multiple side colours extruded, it makes the side colours intersect and causes strange alternating patterns around the rim between the colours. Is there a way around this besides alternating the scale between the layers? Thanks

[@OliverRandorff]

I don’t think so to be honest - that’s at least what I’d try to do

[@luisfbonilla]

Great tut!, one question, is it possible to make all flat layers an then add a null to link all layer to it, so I can decide with the null the angle in case I change my mind about if I want to show more of the top, etc etc? Cause I think right now if I change angles, I have to do it layer by layer, right?

[@OliverRandorff]

Luis Bonilla Yeah, that’s right. Would make adjusting it quite a bit easier. Otherwise you’d have to adjust it one by one.

[@evolnull125]

Very cool man. If you can show other examples of using expressions for animation it would be very much appriciated! because expressions are tough for non-coders.

[@OliverRandorff]

Andrey Gavrilkin I will keep that in mind for upcoming tutorials, thank you.

[@niranvisual]

Nice, really helpful

[@OliverRandorff]

Niran Visual So cool to hear. Did you understand the expression part all right? Just need to make sure that I explain it properly.

[@niranvisual]

@@OliverRandorff actually i enjoyed watching the tutorial because I love your works and am planning to move into stuffs like that but am really finding it difficult to get after effect cc crack, that's the main reason why I was unable to create this exact tutorial on my own..

[@CalvinKalamari]

It wont let me add a side color for some reason I get an error message stating to do it as an empty group instead, any help?

[@CalvinKalamari]

sike i figured it out

[@OliverRandorff]

@@CalvinKalamari great to hear!

[@mallorygray702]

how did you figure it out? i’m having this same issue

[@shabrinamirza1799]

07.27 should I download cinema4d? because I don't have cinema4d for renderer

[@OliverRandorff]

Not quite sure why that’s not an option for you. You don’t need Cinema 4D to use it. What version of After Effects are you using?

[@shabrinamirza1799]

@@OliverRandorff I use after effect cc 2015... and I only have classic 3d and Ray-traced 3d

[@OliverRandorff]

@@shabrinamirza1799 I'm sorry, but I can't help you then. Why not just update the software?

[@shabrinamirza1799]

@@OliverRandorff okay, I'll update the software...thank you by the way

Thank you man!

No worries, hope you enjoy it!
