[@doodlve]

I showed it to Spielberg, he loved it

[@flo.motion]

Great! Dud you tell him that it was done by flomotion?

[@recvisualaxel]

In my edits following your videos, my 3D objects do not generate a shadow, can you help me with this task that I am trying and pointing out what error I am making ?

[@flo.motion]

Have you created a floor layer? An have you created an environment light?

[@recvisualaxel]

Yes, the plan was created so that the ambient light would be generated, but the object would only illuminate, the floor would illuminate, but it would not generate a shadow. ​@@flo.motion

[@kenny13]

Im having the same issue.

[@Ολεχ]

Cool 🦖

[@flo.motion]

Thank you

[@Vfxpark-10M]

Sir you don't have to do this much effort just to put the shadow. Just check the 3d on background layer and the shadow will come automatically.

[@flo.motion]

Haha... I know... but I recorded the tutorial before the shadow catcher was officially part of AE

[@chillu420]

This is so cool, How did you do the mirror reflections at the beginning and is that wonder dynamics at the end.

Hey flo! I always wanted to see a virtual production 3d environment in after effects with this new update.. kindly make one.. plizzzz

[@flo.motion]

Wait for the next tutorial!! 😎😎

[@nickagneta3740]

There is a bit of flickering going on in the T-Rex shadow. I wonder if some of the polygons of the TRex are letting light through intermittently. Perhaps it's a render settings issue (maybe the settings on the precomped TRex, since you did crank up the shadow settings within the precomp). Seeing if you found a solution, or if it's a limitation to the 3D built into AE?

[@flo.motion]

Hey! I saw tat too but could not figure out where it came from. If you find a solution please let me know

[@barneshudson]

Hey, the mirror reflection is not correct. It is too far left, but otherwise really well-implemented.

[@flo.motion]

Hey... you should visit me... mirror is at an angle... I placed a toy in there as reference!! All thise years on set thought me to always capture some reference!! 😎😯

[@barneshudson]

Okay - I still see the difference. But it's a good video and post. I'll try it on the weekend...

[@AaliDGr8]

​@@flo.motionno dear he is right ur mirror reflection is ok right but the part of bottom mirror there refrection was incorrect, u should use turbulence displace for mimic that area realistic reflection ❤

[@flo.motion]

@@AaliDGr8 haha... jeah... thanks for pointing that out!! That is true... you could simply use a 3d layer in the position of the mirror and use that as a holdout matte... thought about it... and then I thought noone would notice 😉

Hallo Boris, I need your help, if possible ^^ I discovered that for a same file, according it's complexity and weight, I may see the 3D object in AE. I did the 3D file myself and it is heavy one (1,4GB), if I export only one part as GLB file and import it in AE, it works. If I do the same for the whole piece, which is 500Mo as GLB file, I will see an empty box in AE. So I wonder how I can reduce the size and complexity of my model... thank you !

[@flo.motion]

Not sure why you call me Boris, but anyways... most of the time AE just needs some time caching such a large file! Smaller textures help... but also your patience helps!!
