You guys are simply.... Bad Ass!!

gracias amigo, you got the surprise effect, cause I hadn´t seen the first 3D tutorial. it was shocking

i watching from my childhood.

I love your tutorials and the way you project your own views and such with the learning content, it just makes it that much more fun to listen to and you pick up on those tiny little things, which would otherwise fall between the cracks.
Anyway... I like your style of teaching, you make it easy to learn, hope you'll keep doing this as long as you have the power to do so.
Thanx!!

Very nice......best as always...

can this tutorial be done with a video clip not moving

Thanks very much!
I like this tip.
This is so cool!!!

you've got some cool tutorials here.
what about the sodas popping out of the pack? i'd love to see a tut of that.

quick question - i did everything up to where the tutorial ended, but when i try to make keyframes, my timeline is completely locked up! what do i do if i want to keyframe the camera going down the hall?

if your picture is nor that square I suggest to move the light instead of the camera, you won't have problème with the overlapping layers and duplication of image.
It works great, thanks Andrew for that one too !

Tried the OpenGL trick and the light setting...but still am getting just white.

Interestingly, I opened a project that used this--which I made in CS2--and it looks fine in CS3. Checked the settings, and they are all the original ones...even the light. Yet it works.

Anybody figured this out yet? Thanks!

Thanks a lot for all your work. This software is amazing! You really help people in your own way, thanks again A LOT from france!

Camera projections are so powerful. Especially in fully 3d apps like Maya, you can turn a single image into a complete scene after replicating the lighting, however it all depends on the required camera movements. Being able to do it in AFX is just awesome tho. Thanks for the tutorial.

For those having trouble with this in cs3, use a spot light instead of a point light.

Very impressive end result. My jaw dropped.

Man, amazing! Andrew I'm wondering what if there are some people in the pictures and you are sorta wants to make it 3D? could you show me how?
thanks

it did really work the walls came out white like the solid help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! somebody this is very improtant I'm making a movie for my school please guys!!!

very impressive!!! thank you for the amazing tutorial!!!

OMG, Greate tutorial! From that photo.. a 3d space, omg big thnx!!

CS3 problem solved!
It seems to be a problem with Open GL in CS3. Turn off Open GL in the Comp window. Use the button called Fast Previews( its at the bottom of the comp window). Worked for me.

And Thanks for the great tutorials Andrew!

You are the best ever i have seen the master of AE. love you so much

kramer ur tutorials are funtastic and very helpful for the artists of this field... thanks a lot for these nice and useful tutorials

this is a amazing tut. Thanks a lot!!!

That was a really helpful tutorial. Im doing a masters in animation. Im learning after effects right now, so it really helped improve my ability in after affects. Thanks!

BEST...You are idol.

how can do this orbit cam motions like animation?
i wanna do animation to this 3D photo.
thank youuuuu !! :)

hey kremer ur tutorials r ltk boost for me.

thanx man thanx very much

thx andy, it very useful

Great tutorial,

Don't think it works in CS3 though....I changed the light from Point to Spot but it still isn't working properly.

Mr. Andrew, You are my idol.

great great tutorial....solved a HUGE problem I was having. Now...how would I comp another layer INTO that image? I have a very similar project....need to put a person into a very long hall and do a move. I've tried THIS concept but the person appears dark and slightly transparent. What gives?

this is a great site you have here. this tutorial is pretty sweet.

thanks you for sharing all this knowledge with us.

wow thanks alot this was one of the best tutorials you have made which is saying alot because all of them are awsome! thanks so much for your help Mr. Kramer

Brilliant tutorial! Not only very informative, but very funny! VideoCoPilot is added to my favorites, and I will support the site! Keep up the great work!

can anyone explain to me how he did the round roof?
layers in after effects are only basic shapes. how did he do that?

is very very good really thanks

Hello Andrew, i´am from Chile and i have a problem with this tutorial because mi AE is CS3, then i download this project (3D Camera Projection 2) but CS3 don't show me the "projected layer" results, have you any idea???
Thanks

impressive.

Hey, what's up, guys? I just have one question. Christmas is coming up and I have a dilema.

Should I get Adobe After Effects CS3, 7, or 8?

By the way, for those of you saying it didn't work for AE CS3, use a Spot Light instead of a Point Light.

Hi,

love your tutes. have one question regarding this one. When i apply this effect to a 3d image i rendered for some reason the image becomes blurry or loses qaulity. Is there something im doing wrong that causes this or do i need to use an images thats significantly bigger than my comp size?

wow, Its really gr8
Thanks

this isnt working for me i followed the tutorial exactly, but the picture just shows up black. and when i downloaded the project file, it was all white. the walls were covering the picture for some reason. anyone know why?

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!
thankyou

it may be hard to tell, but i am giving you a standing ovation....starting now.... to the man that proves there's more to the net than porn.

Rapaz, tu é fera viu!?

Parabéns por esse excelente trabalho profissionalíssimo e de primeira.

Continue assim!
Um grande Abraço da trupe 3D do Brasil.

hmm i have cs3 version and dont work >.

thanks for the tutorial

Thanks a bunch, works perfect here (CS3 version)

Hey again, i downloaded the project and tried i opened it with after effects, but i have still the problem, it doesnt happen anything when i turn off the Eye of the Projection, i still see a white screen, what shall i do??

Nice one! (as usual :P) Love the tutorials! Keep up the good work!

It's very cool tutorial!!! You....superman in this FX world!!!

Spot light for CS3 not working either...

Wow, I think this was the coolest tutorial on this website. I mean, this one has the coolest result, it's just like making a 3d room out of one single picture!

Thanks

I wander if it is possible to take this tutorial and go farther with it. For instance, (using the image Andrew used with the tutorial) we zoom up the the door on the left side, rotate left and there would be another room inside of it. I guess you would do it the same way, but it would take alot more time. Go for it Andrew! And if I find out before you, I'll post back :)

I LOVE YOU ANDREW! MARRY ME!

O MY GOD!!!!!!!!

Thanks, I read The Note for CS3, but Still Does Not work, Thanks Though!

Awesome. Here's a way to do a pretty sweeping crane motion shot, only without the $150,000 crane. Genius!

I feel like I'm being taken to school each time I watch one of these. Very, very sweet!

A wonderful tutorial!!! Thank you so much for this.

For anyone who is having that "white texture" problem, change the fast previews option on the preview screen from "OpenGL interactive" to "Off"

Thanks again Andrew!

Yep, it sure was impressive! Good work.

IMPORTANT!
Read the NOTE at the top for AE CS3

I have to say, that I too am having the same issue. For some reason, everyone who has CS3 has this issue. I don't have the older one to see if it is fixed but I agree something is not write. I love the tutorials anyway. I will continue on my quest to figure this issue out.

Thanks a lot.!

Hi! I have this same problem because I'm using CS3. I think that there is sth wrong with the newest version of AF, To prove that I reccomend to check options Accept Sdadows and Accept Lights. When you check to accept shadows but to not accept lights the problems appear. However all tutorials are great and I appreciate Andrew's work.

First off, thanks so much for all the tuts you have done. I'm having the exact same issue as Kris and HENRY. Once I enable all the correct material properties for lighting, the projected image is not visible at all. I am using CS3. Is there something I'm missing, or a setting that has to be adjusted first? I am following the tutorial exact. When I open the project file, the projected image does not appear there either. Any help is appreciated.

Truly impressive. Thanks a lot

I hope I'm not double posting, my apologies if I am.

I found this tutorial really really really impressive. Maybe I too am easily impressed :P but still I can't believe how you can get that awesome effect from a still image. Simply amazing.

You are a great person to offer these tutorials for free. Thank you so much !!

Dude that was really impressive (Either that or I too are easily impressed :P )

I really really really enjoyed this tutorial. I can't believe you do this for FREE. I'm incredibly thankful! Movies are one of my passions and I'm hoping to learn to do my own on my free time.

Thanks a million!!

Thanks for sharing

Never thought to combine those quite like that. Alternate way of doing this would be using Photoshop's vanishing point. When you set up a grid inside the vanishing point you can export for AE by clicking on the little arrow in the top left corner. In AE make sure to import/vanishing point data just importing it like footage will not work. This will give you a 3D comp with all the planes that you have created and a folder full of "undistroted" png textures.

I cant believe you did this wow

great great great

When I do the white layer receive lights off the white grid appears. But on the tutorial there is no grid visible.>-(

Brilliant tutorial, you've been a great inspiration and all your tutorials have taught me so much about AE. Thanks!

hi andrew,

u r great..........

thanks for ur tutorials

what you're doing is just wonderfull!
thanks a lot

bravo.im infographe

Hey.. i followed you tutorial but i cant seem to get the same look as yours even when im using ur picture. When i also downloaded the project and opend it on AE i said i need to upgrade version 7.0 but im using AE C3.. can you comment back on this and help me out.

Just A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!!!

Master Kramer strikes again!

ur the man with the plan!!

Great tutorial!

Although i'm having some trouble with a much more complicated image, where there is a car in the foreground.
Is there any place to find more tips on using this with different layers?

Thanks!!

wayah awalda endré

You're GoD!! thanks for the tutorial..
Love your work!

love the tutorial. followed everything but when i turn off reference layer all i see is white. triple checked all setting every thing is correct. works great with ur project files but not when i try creating it from a new project. any ideas?

Great Tip your the shissle Son

This is a great tutorial

Can't seem to get it working in AE CS3. After everything is in place, I turn off the reference image and wall effects but the projected image isn't there. I tried opening your file as well but still to no avail. Am I doing something wrong like missing a little option or is the problem in AE?

Hi Andrew,
thanks a lot for the tutorials, I'm building a tutorial site myself @ www.enzimage.com.
One important thing about this tutorial is that it won`t work with many graphic cards if OpenGL is turned to "always". Using my 3d Card (quaddro560) it shows only the white solids but no projection, The first time I tryed the tutorial I almost went crazy! hehehe.

Ivan

i got realy far into the tutorial but... i couldnt change my cast shadows to only?
only yes or no... i have aftereffects cs3 so it shudnt be a problem?

hey andrew

this is such a cool effect! and so you usefull!

there's only one problem.,
I dont understand it...

I've rebuilt it twice, it works
but I just dont understand how the concept works..
I see that the perspecive of the camera moves, but how come that I see that?
i dont get it..
(and I had good figures for math&sience..)

anyway
your the best videotutorialist i've ever come across, so keep up the good work!

Great tut, Andrew!:)
This trick could be modified to make a virtual "Crane Shot", huh?
Going to try that out, thanx for the tut, and putting the idea in my head!:)

excellent tutorial and Super Program You are very good there in andrew bye

I have very big problem.. Your tutorials are really nice but i dont have the used plugins. So can anybody tell me where can i download Plugins which are used in the tutorials. Such as "Simple Choker", "Corner Pin" e.t.c Please help me!

Great tutorial It worked when I had AE7 but not in CS3 why?

Great Tutorial. Your tutorials owns.

Thankyou for your help. And your spontaneous jokes.

MAN, YOU'RE AMAZING! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT TUT.
I'VE LEARNED ALOT AND I'M LOOKING AT THINGS IN AE IN DIFFERENT WAYS. DUDE, HOW DO YOU DO IT!!???LOL
MANY THANKS

This is ... awesome, I used to think it was a dream to do such a thing but no, thank you !

Hello. Amazing tuts! I was wondering what the difference is between this way and doing it with the vanishing point? This way seems like the end result looks better, but if you do it in vp do you have as many options as far as making it look like your walking through the alley? Thank you SO much!

I know you may get alot of this, but I'm so greatfull for your great tutorials and your teaching skills. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!! keep it up!!!!

really amazing. thanks for this.

very nice tutorials on this website congratulations

thanks for the tutorial

thanks for the tutorial. this is one of the best tutorials here. Btw the new site rocks

I really enjoyed the tutorial, it was very useful. Thanks. It was cool that it worked in the old version AFX (v5.5) too.

Here are some tests I did:
