Great tutorial but wondering if you located your original template and is there a way to download it? Thank you.

Excellent Tut, thank you, it was perfect for what I was looking for.

[@user-xc7jl4qn7r]

I don't know why but when I make the layer 3D the Alpha Matt Disappears, so the rectangle mask doesn't work

[@kshange421]

For those with the same problem, the solution was to ensure your 3d renderer is on Classic 3D and not Advanced 3D or Cinema 4d

How can we get anamorphic unfolding in after effect.?

[@bilalmkhawaja]

WOW!!

[@fernandacevallos5304]

I can't make my map go off screen, it kind of gives another perspective when I move the Y value. Help!

[@Praji456]

change camera type from two node camera to one node camera from camera settings

[@denniluolivares9275]

Thank you, I also had that doubt

[@ddcantuan]

[@lumpiaedits4944]

How do I animate the path, the tutorial given is not very helpful with how to transition from making this animation to making the path.

[@aliu8557]

Can Motion Array members download that template?

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

Hi Ali, sadly no, but I think that's an interesting idea. I'll see if I can get the original file and talk with our team.

[@bambina5604]

The pin part didn't work for me :( but overall great video, subscribed!

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

Thanks for subbing! I'm so honored! Sorry about the pin part, is there a specific part of the process that's giving trouble?

[@naomireadsdiversely7018]

@@MotionArrayTutorials the pin part also stopped working for me once the tutorial got to the 3D part. Couldn't see the pin anymore no matter which value I messed with.

[@sqreis]
