OMG andrew. Great video. Youre the best voice in CG tuts.

03/11/2013

You're the best Andrew. So much that I'd like to ask if I can join you and your wife in holy matrimony? No homo.

01/02/2013

I couldnt stop myself from commneting, you're awesome and I soecially commented because I loved your little grasping stories that made me imagine at the same time gave me pretty little breaks while I try your tricks on my software here, good one :)
Thank you sooo much for this video :)

hey.. nice... i love this site !!!

10/05/2012

every time i use the orbit camera tool everything goes white. What did i do wrong

07/04/2012

Video does not play on IPad pnly sound

10/30/2012

That's probably because the iPad doesn't run flash player. The android tablet on the other hand, now that's a different story.

03/30/2012

Hey thanks I will tell you that I am figuring everything out for a cool video " Twisted Metal Sweet Tooth's Midnight Ride" It will involve a 3D City with footage of a Twisted Metal RC driving around I thought it would be cool and have him destroy cars and stuff so yea it will be amazing

09/10/2011

Hi! When I try to turn the 'cast shadows' to 'only' there is no such option, just on and off. Could somebody please help me? I'm working with cs5.5
Thanks a lot!

01/28/2012

Hey. I'm kinda late with the answer, but for all of you who have the same problem like Emilio: turn the cast shadows 'off', then right click over that 'off' and click 'edit value'. That helped in my case. Or just repeat the 'edit value' clicking until you get to the 'only' option.

08/27/2011

Dunno if I'm the only one who had this problem, but in order for the light projection to work make sure your light's "Shadow Diffusion" setting is set to 0px otherwise everything just looks ridiculously blurred out. I only saw too late that Andy's was set to 0px when I went back to when he first added the light. The default setting in CS5 seems to be 53px, which might cause some confusion.

08/17/2011

hey.. nice... i love this site!

but i cant get it that, how to get free image footage! like (wall, castle. etc.)
plz help me..!


thank you

07/11/2011

Thanks for the tut, Andrew!

One question though: Scaling down the 3d projection layer to match the viewport of the 3d cam is a incorrect approach to "real cammapping" like in an 3D App - because it might differ to the reference image in 2D. Especially if you have a 3D track from elsewhere and not a standard camera you created in AFX iteself. Do you know of any function for a 3D layer to match the comp window entirely, as if it was 2D, by orienting itself in space?

Thanks a lot!!

05/18/2011

Does this work with a video footage ?

05/12/2011

Lucky U you U you Survived the Bee Attack xD

05/07/2011

amazing! thanks so much ... i've taken this tut and some of your others to create this projected project based on my travels around india & europe.

03/13/2011

Hi Andrew

Your tutorials are really helpfull, keep up the good work. Im wondering how I can do a camera fly over, over a 2d image.
Hope you can help me out.

03/12/2011

The most funny vid of all!!

03/08/2011

always a very nice tutorial andrew,i´ve learned a lot.

03/02/2011

Hey Andrew, god bless u man. U r doing a gr8 gr8 job. Really appreciate ur passion, n u r doing it 4 free!! Hats off. Greatings to Sam Loya too;p

So, here i want to know here that can i use this "3-D camera projection to build a scene similar to scene from matrix i.e. the sub-way station fight scene. I did a sort of time freeze scene with my actors in front of green screen, well not really. I shot them on stage sort of thing and then replaced the rest with green in photoshop. And, for my background i took still images of the location 360' and interpolated it with a software. It was pretty hectic job nd affected my eyes. I wonder how u manage, do you wear contact lenses! Lol

So, that time i didn't had AE n so now that i have i want to do something like that with it. So, let me know if i'm thinking correctly.

Thanx man for all your tutorials.

02/24/2011

I like very much.

02/17/2011

thx!!! ive been searching for this, im new in this.
so thanks, grate job.

blurriness = you need to increase the shadow map resolution in advanced comp settings

09/20/2010

Hey Andrew,
one question about it. If I turn light transmission on, the projection will be sort of blurry. Is that in fact of the AE light rendering? Is there a cance to prevent this?

Best regards Rob

08/14/2010

really a cool Tutorial..i Learned Very Much From The Andrew Cramer...Thanks A lot Sir

08/02/2010

something different

07/21/2010

Hi,

Thank you so much for these great tutorials but I have an annoying problem with all the videos, every time I want to go back a few seconds and watch it again, it goes all the way back to the start and I get to watch it a dozen of times just for the sake of that few seconds I missed. It gets really REALLY really annoying after 3 times, believe me :) Especially when I'm trying to do a course project for the next week. So, is is only me or is there a problem with the video?

Thank you for your help.
Ahsen

03/24/2011

You could use the "Firefox 4" browser. It can download all the videos from any sites. It really awesome~~~!!!!!

05/21/2010

I don't know what my problem is, but I am struggling with every tutorial that I attempt. I am familiar with FCP and AE somewhat, but I just can't seem to pull it together when I am trying.

01/04/2013

I have problems too. i know after effects well and have gotten this to work but now i just cant get the image to project itself onto the solids. i recommend reading a dedicated guide to learning after effects and how it works before taking on advanced projects. but you might still end up like me :/

05/04/2010

its nice master! work

03/20/2010

Just stumbled over this. awesome technique.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpSygv94P3A

way more advanced way of creating a projeciton map that you can move around 180 degrees. frickin sweet.
always wondered how it was done. only example ive seen. Just uploaded too. I dropped him a mail and he has only just put this together after alot of requests.

03/09/2010

hi thanks to respected sir Mr Andrew i have never expected so much but you have gave us so much creativity i thanks on more time to you for giving a fabulous tutorial from vidiocopiolet and i don't know how to purchase your plug-ins please guide me for that purpose

02/19/2010

its really awesome ! its like matrix FX !

nice tutorial, but I have a problem and I had this problem before, the thing is, when I go to effects and presets and search for the "grid" effect I don't have that preset.. what can I do?

I really appreciate your help! thank you!...

Very useful and entertaining tuorials!
I really enjoy working with them and learned quite a lot out of them. There is one problem I can't explain: when I project a picture like you showed in tut 39 the picture itself becomes blurry. I really tried to do exactly what you told, but nothing works

Thank you anyway, keep up the excellent work, yours sVendetta

Hey Andrew,
My Name is Thomas Newman and I just finished my first feature film named "Bong Of The Dead" which is going to be released next year. Im in full time post right now just one guy in his basement doing all your tutorials and learning so much. My friend and I both are using your techniques everyday to make the film all that it can be. When it is done it is going to receive distribution already and I am definitely going to put a huge thank you and plug to you and video co-pilot for all your help. I love all your products and will always buy them as they come out. Im waiting for Pro scores 2 so I can score my film with a professional sound. Love Pro one! Please keep up the great tutorials! You can see the teaser of Bong Of The dead at http://www.bongofthedead.com

Thanks!

09/04/2009

doh, just put it on spotlight like said.

09/04/2009

I have the same problem as Alex in CS3.
I'm trying but no fix yet.

Love the tutorials!

07/14/2009

amazing video..

07/13/2009

really amazing!you're really cool.i'm from the Philippines.more power!

07/12/2009

If the Picture Was a Still video Shot Would this still work ? or
If the picture had a person in it LOOKING at the camra would they continue to look at the camra as it pans ?
(im really not expecting an answer but hey ! if i keep watching these tutorials i might learn myself)
Thanks Man

06/09/2009

Inspirational as always ! Keep up the great work, Andrew !

06/08/2009

yeah , andrew - I love all your other tutorials but I agrre with titi on this - this one just seems like a tedious hack. Why not create instead a 3ds max tute which shows how camera projection mapping can achieve this result in a much more intuitive way and far more quickly and with more generaly applicable results. The projection mapping feature of 3ds max is much underused -it involves simply choosing a camera for the mapping and shifting it around to match the geometry being used . I don't understand the need for all this shadow casting stuff - it seems to me just a clever but tedious hack which is not really necessary at all and has limitations and also one can easily forget the steps. Anyways -that's my two bits. keep up the good work!

06/02/2009

Hi, Andrew

I am facing two problems:
#1 at some point I have white picture instead of picture
#2 the same problem exist with a project I downloaded from this tutorial.

How can I fix it?

Thank you!

02/09/2009

hey andrew!how did you learn many things about this program?...i want to be like you!...im so dying to be a master like you in after effects...i have a question...in order to be good at after effects, would it be self-discovery or something?...hey..can you do us a favor?can you do more basics for the "newbies" like me?..im looking forward to that...thanks a lot!..more power!...godbless!:)

I love it. Andrew is a great teacher, and he always interjects the right amount of humor into the videos - it's like I'm working with one of my buddies or something.

Golden, Andrew! Thanks for all you do!

06/14/2008

I want all parties involved with this company to know, from the bottom of my heart to the depths of my soul....THANK YOU for being so kind and TRULY following the mantra of "Each one, teach one".

Do you realize what you've done for those such as myself? You have re-ignited the passion for filmmaking and art like no other company that sells a product to boot. IT'S OBVIOUS to see the dollar motivating companies and their sites. The attempts at getting to my pocket are NOT EVEN HIDDEN in the way they "HELP" you. At the end of their efforts I'm left discouraged and even more confused than when I began.

But you guys?

Before I even attempt to buy a product you put your arms around me and say "Pssst, Hey...Want to know a secret?" Before you know it, I'm updated in my art and skills-better than any film school has ever taught me and you don't even glance at my wallet or trick me into learning by seeing one part for free and having to buy the other just to complete the lesson.

THIS SITE, YOUR COMPANY, YOU are a template for how IT should be done. (By the way, you are so kind to Adobe...you MUST have a load of inner peace)

IT IS ALREADY KNOWN: This site is the holy grail of sites for filmmakers and the birth of filmmakers alike.

Not Adobe, Not Sony...NOBODY does it like YOU!
I pray you're ALL getting rich and taking over "THE WORLD"....you DO deserve IT!!!

When the THE RENAISSANCE OF THE NEW MILLENIUM IS IN FULL SWING, I WILL HOLD YOU ALL ACCOUNTABLE!
(even Sam Loya) -wink!

Thank you sooooo much for your blood, sweat and tears in doing all of this for artists such as myself. You all are my heroes.

06/08/2008

Hi,

This method only works for flat floors, is there any way to make a 'hilly' floor? Or does that have to be done in a different program?

12/04/2007

Keep pumping out the great work, I've learned more about ae from your site than in class. Even our teacher recommends it

11/25/2007

I would do this thing in 3D MAX for 2 minutes.

11/24/2007

hello Andrew,
any other person could ve felt he/she can do it but the truth is, no one ever thought of that creative idea and for that kudos and it shows u re creative. Keep it up.

I saw one of ur tutes (3D DEPTH MATTE), been trying to open it. Could u please send to my email.

Hi Andrew:
I think I've same problem with Basil and EDGE: I can´t see the "Projected" layer since I had changed its parameters of lights and shadows. In the place of the 2D picture I only see white over the other layers. Could it be a problem with Open GL?
Thank you very much, sorry for my English
