176 RESPONSES TO "QUICK 3D REFLECTIONS"

by DarkEntity 07/26/2009
really cool...
by Allen 07/22/2009
The presets are awesome! Only one problem.

I get the dreaded green X on top of the layer I apply the preset to. Specifically, 'easy reflect'. If the presets are free.... why? I don't mind paying for them but why does it act like it a 'trial' version?
by Bill 07/09/2009
Handy presets... Thanks!

CS4 users should use the presets in the AE7 folder. These presets seem to work fine with AE9 while the ones in the CS3 CS4 folder do not.
by pinki93 06/30/2009
help please! i can't find the linear wipe (7:20). I use CS4 so i think that's the reason for my problem. Do everyone know how this effect is named in cs 4 or doesnt' it exist ? thanks
by MADSEBBY 06/27/2009
hello! i have a problem downloading the Quick 3D Reflections preset!i do not know how to solve this problem. It keeps telling me HTTP NOT FOUND. What should i do? Please help me!!!
by Ioannis Karavas 06/15/2009
Great work. Thank you.

For CS4 Users: The order of the effects is wrong, plus remember to use the effect ON YOUR OBJECT. Not the floor. ;)
by Amin siala 05/26/2009
This Reflect seems to be not working on my CS4 Version.

I did ABSOLOUTLY Everything you did, but i couldnt see the reflection for some reason.

*** CS4 FIX ***
In the presets folder there are 2 versions one for CS3/CS4 and one for AE7. I found the one for AE7 works on CS4,I think they put them in the wrong folders. (from the forum)

WoW Andrew!!!! I design and train motion designs in After Effets over 10 years, and I confess, you are awsome. You are very talented and I really appreciate your creativity.
by franK 03/05/2009

it seems to be, that it can adjust just the orginal. thats sux.

by will 02/24/2009
Thank you so much for the presets. Really amazing work and generosity.
by Lord 02/22/2009

by edit_two2000 02/09/2009

any help? I'd really love to use this.
Thanks!
by eculiolis 02/06/2009
Easy to use, realy helpful, what else can i say, videocopilot still kicking asXX
by James Hooey 02/04/2009
Hmm..fooled around some more to get this working...seems like the order of the effects in this preset need arranging to make it work in CS4. After moving the falloff part of the preset to the top of the fx stack it seemed to work more sensibly.
by james hooey 02/03/2009
Something doesn't seem to work right in regards to the linear wipe portion of this preset when using in CS4/Vista 64. The transition completion control in this preset has a scale that does not produce suitable results. At anything more than 1% completion the reflection has far too much opacity falloff. This behaviour is the same if replaceing this portion of the preset with Linear Wipe manually and adjusting it's transition completion value. Again anything higer than 1% generates unusually high amounts of opacity fallof. Sorry, doesn't work for me...:(
by Glenn 01/16/2009
I am using a After Effects on a MAC. Does anyone know why the presets wont work for me?
by ethan 12/26/2008
When I applied the reflection effect nothing happened
by Mickey 12/20/2008
Love the tutorials cant wait to make awesome videos thx to you nice work
by Pete 12/15/2008
It seems like it's not working on CS3. I get reflection on the bottom of the picture itself, but not on the base ground. I tried different orders, but it's not working. Is there any suggestion?
by Cend17 12/02/2008
thanks realy useful !
by Mike Primeau 11/23/2008
Hey Andrew

First off Andrew, thanks for creating an amazing community here.

I have a question about the easy reflect preset. I found that the preset works great for original footage but I got tripped up on pre-composing.

I was applying the easy reflect to a bunch of stills that were all over the place in quality and size, and did not have time to bring them into photoshop. My approach was to use a white solid as a matte in After Effects, so I could have the freedom of adjusting the picture and have them all look the same in a 3d move....but with all the precomposing, it meant I had to make my reflections the old fashion way.

So my question is if there is a way to make a preset like this that will work with precomps as well?

Thanks

I am trying to use the reflection preset and the only way I can get it to work is to add an adjustment layer, why?
by jrmagic 09/08/2008
yeah dude, I try that, thanks.

(I have the crappy trial) but I download the trial for the cycore FX.
by deiviuxs 09/05/2008
Hi. Awesome present. Just one question: can I apply it to text (I tried but it doesn't seem to work). Thanks!
by EE 09/03/2008
To Virio And Jrmagic,

The message you are getting (CC RepeTile and CC Composit) is an indication that you are missing the Cycore FX plugin.

This plugin "Cycore FX" comes bundled with Adobe After Effects CS3 full version only... and not the demo version.

You can Google Cycore FX and download the trial version of this plugin. Be aware that the trial version will render a green "X".
Hope this helps!
by jrmagic 08/31/2008
Yeah Virio, same here.

I hit okay after it shows that error and it just lowers some of my images footage opacity to 50 percent it's weird.

I hope you can get a soultion up and running my man. :)

Your really good, thanks so much for everything you have done.
by Virio 08/30/2008
Hi Mr Andrew, I tried using this tutorial but when I try to apply the preset it says, "This favorite contains 2 references to missing effects. Please install the following effects to restore these references CC RepeTile, CC Composite.

This site has helped so much in advancing me to that next level. I have had after effects for about 2 weeks now and, because of what you do for us I'm at a much higher level than a friend of mine who has had Cs3 for near 6 months now. I told him bout this site and will refer it to anyone who wants real tutorials.
Thanx again.

Hi Andrew;

Thanks a lot for such a great web site. The tutorials are helpful.

I am very new to Adobe AE. I covered basic tutorials and start with presets. I was trying Quick 3D Reflections , but could not apply the reflection effects - I was getting the message that I have to upgrade my AE 7 pro.....

Can you please advise... I also wanted to buy "Evolution" and "Sound FX", but now I am concern that I would not be able to use it with my current version...

Sincerely,

Kate
