Just A thought if you own proscores use the expression system in the last tutorial to offset the Buildings in 3D space! :)

This is one of my favorites, I've been looking forward to watch this tut, but had to many things on my mind to start with. Now things have started to clean up a bit, I've managed to take an afternoon to sit down and take a look at this very complex but intresting tutorial!
Andrew, your simply the best!

Hey. This is great

Cool tutorial really great tips and effects learn a hole lot from your work, thanks for putting your time into it. Good stuff!!!

Wow Andrew,
you are the best!
Thanks for all your work, patience
and good jokes!

This was an awesome tutorial. Thanks for this and many others like it. My friend just got Action Essentials 2, cant wait to see what we can make.

Love this tutorial but my background is over some of my buildings for some reason. My skyline background is on the very bottom of the layers so not sure why this is happening.

Please help me

This is also a good starting point if you want to create a "city" on another planet for your "big sci-fi flick"

keep up the good work.

Extremely Good for the AE users.

Thanx

I've been working on the side views of the buildings near the beginning so my friend can start the 3D modeling. Do any of you have any idea where to find any type of rooftop graphic? I'm having trouble finding one similar to the one in the tutorial.

i love this tutorial!
you are so amazing man!
you my inspiration!

cant wait for the tutorials to come./

Thank you for these wonderful tutorials. Your way to make stars is excellent. The other day I was like painting in photoshop this entire universe and it took me forever.. I was blushing when I saw you doing the background by using the procedural texture.. wow..
Good luck! Thank you!

Very, Very nice amazing ideas this tutorial, than

thanks
from china!

Genius Andrew - I loved it

Thanks a million, Andrew! For the last 3 years creating a 3D city in After Effects was always in the back of my mind, but everything I tried didn't look quite right. With your tips I was finally able to get it out of my system! This is what I did with it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64umwluOGu4

Thank you!

very nice dear .

I saw this effect on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Did you do it for them?

Do you think it's possible to create a tutorial for something round like trees and then using the sunbeam effect in the newest tutorial. I want to see if I can use this to make a video for a running video

hey man u guys are great man. i am a buddhist and i believe that the more u teach, the more u learn about the things. its like input work= output work but more in a religious way. what u do is what u get so...just keep it going man. u will also be a wise man not only in this life.. but also in the next reincarnation. thanks u.

What is This Font Called Great Tut

I love you guys, thanks so much for all the tutorials! Now I'll be way ahead in my classes! Haha^^

AMAZING!!! I love all the little tips you can use out of this - like the distortion on the 2D image, and the texture with the lens blur - even if your not working on a city, these tips are priceless, awesome tutorial!

Thank you, Andrew. Yours tutorials rock. You went a bit fast on steps. It means I have to buy your "Series One" DVD.

WOW
No words
U rock :)

Hey i need some help every time i render this it ends up coming out blue instead of with the glow effect...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgrsZBguIkM

(should look like: http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/217/engelhartproduction.jpg)

It shows up like this but when i render it it shows up like the one on youtube any help would be great!
Thanks,Josh

Umm Idk what I did but when I go to make the CC version, it converts all my work to 2d. So, basically all my work is in the bin right now and THe camera angle mysteriously resets to way above... Any tips?

Thanks, Josh

j[URL=http://tinymail.me/kjkpt7]...[/URL]@gmail.com

You are a dangerously viable asset to anyone trying to edit. Your tutorials are so friendly and explanatory it drives the demons of fear from complex programs such as after effects. Definately filing down the teeth of the beast.

Hi everyone!

This was a awesome tutorial Andrew! I was wondering if anyone had any tweaking tips in cs4, im trying to rendering out in 2k(!!) but i dont have 64-bit OS. Any tip would be much appreciated!
(Pardon if my english is bad)

Awesome?

go andrew.....thank you very much for this site, you are our mentor for AE.....keep it up, this site is a big help to our team, hope we can save enough money to buy your great products, well hopefully. Greetings from the Philippines!

Hey quick question. I've been trying to just add a little motion blur to some of the building but every time I try and add the effect, the the 3d comps are no longer visible. Anyone else having the same problem? Any advice?

This was fantastic. I'm currently attending the Art Institute in Houston and I've been trying to duplicate the city of Atlantis in the TV series Stargate Atlantis and someone told me of this tutorial (I already new about Video Copilot) and you knocked this out of the park. The same day I was told of this I brought my digital camera to take some pictures of buildings in the Galleria area, what a coincidence, Thanks. I'm more of a visual person so these tutorials help quite a lot. It won't be long before I purchase some of your DVD's and I'll also be looking into that music one as well. Thanks again.

hi! we really like your tutorials!fulke and i always use them. you're the B-E-S-T!
Cheers from the PHiliPPineS!

hey, andrew! your tutorials are superb! i'm always watching and learning from your tutorials. i am planning to buy an SLR camera. which one do you prefer, canon or sony? i need an advice from the professor expert.keep up your cool tutorials! i'll be right here watching.

hi which part can download the effects or filters after affets

man, that's impressive

Hey guys!
First - This is the most amazing tutorial I ever saw on this Page - real good work man!
But I have a little problem I am sure if this is the right address to get helped with.

I watched this tutorial then I had the Idea to build in some 3d Buildings like you can find at the Google 3d warehouse.
Everything went okay but there is a huge problem. The imported 3d building doesn’t align like the other buildings I build up like in the tutorial.
I am desperate – is there any way to get this problem solved?

Best regards from Germany!
Chris

It is good.
I need a tutorial which explains the text animationcoming out from mud or particles movinf from left to right. And splashing paint on the wall. I have learnt a lot from your tutorials. An every thing was great on its own kind.

thankx
Muralidharan from INDIA.

andrew is the biggest man of after effects.your really great.i like your tutorials.and i am a biggest fan for you.

From Mexico, You Rock, Awesome work!! thank you man!
Muchas Gracias!!!

Love the Tutorial..... thanks! A small tip for us newbies.... I found when I was lining up the first buildings four sides, instead of doing it manually, I found the transform / position option did it much easier for me. ie: first side: 500, 500, 0. Second side 500, 500, 1000. Third side 0. 500, 500 and fourth side 1000, 500, 500. Lined it up perfect as my eyes aren't too good:) No critic on your part though! You're the man! Cheers

You are the most amazing people i have ever seen. Not for because of the AE work, also your jokes are.

project file is missing from zip ?

OMG it's very Nicccccccccccccccccccccccce
i wish i could like u
i can just say thank u
Mamad from iran

Hey Andrew, Great tut!

I wanted to share back with you - I wanted to add a little 'life' to the lens raindrops so here's what I did:

MOVING DROPS

The static raindrop layer I made with a white solid, and added CC Star Burst with; scatter 794; Speed 0; Grid Spacing 4; Size 400.

Then I added a black solid (moving drops layer) on top of that and added a single white painted dot (in "Paint on Transparent") that slowly 'drips' down.

I duped the moving drop layer several times and changed it's position and scale so I had about 5 different ones.

I slid them randomly to the right in the timeline so they would 'land' on the lens over time (and then drip down)

On top of it all I added an adjustment layer to which I added the Lens Blur FX you recommended.

It adds a nice suggestion of rain still coming down...

Thanks again for the great lesson.

Andrew YOU'RE THE MAN!!! Keep the tutorials coming in! Just purchased the entire set of your DVDs. Great stuff!! Much appreciated!! You inspire me! ; )

Just like always, FANTABULUOS! I never miss a tut from Super AE man. Another great tut dude!

Andrew you're killing me !

I suck with 3D softs and now I'm able to do most of my 3D stuff right in AE . Thank you very much, this tutorial is particulary impressive .

Greetings from France.

that is incredible like your last tutorials.
Can't use and find any word to propitiate that.
From bloody country:Afghanistan

cool!

Fantastic!

I was studying this tutorial, let me tell you how amazing it's to hear you speak with such clarity and order when making your exercises, you also do not stay with the first look. always go beyond and go further in that you teach us 2, 3 or 4 more things, you don't know how I to appreciate it.


I am proud to be your student.

This time there was no project, only JPGs. The project is very helpful to compare some setings if something is wrong or not running properly, but doesn't matter.

Thanks as always from México

Love all your tutorials
I am at home recovering from hip surgery so I love
sitting here and trying to recreate your genius

Hey maybe I'll do another city with several titles using Sure Target :)

so~ Coooooooooool~ man~

Mr. Kramer...God bless you. You are a true inspiration...You deliver more than we can expect...My interest in after effects has soared since I found your website. Speechless dude....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdUoGuyMcyk

I wondered about this for an age but never thought about the individual pre comps for quicker adjustments, great stuff, in my version I made it rian with particular added motion blur and put cc drizzle over the orginal roof photo, so you pass over the roof, it works wuite well if you have the pc for it, you can use cc rain as an alternative though. great stuff as always andy peace out.

stil ask myself what is yo secret to know making all of this. yo amazing

Cool tutorial. Looks very nice with simple planes. But the cropping of the building image could be done more easily by selecting the crop tool, select the perspective button on the top options of the crop tool and select the perspective cropping region that you want. Hit enter and PS does the rest. Just a shortcut. :D

Very nice!
frome algeria

Just found this one Monday. I see it just came out on Friday... and already almost 100,000 folks out there beat me to it!

Huge thanks Andrew!

Hey please can u give us the project file for all the different buildings please!!!!

First time poster long time viewer ;)

Just wanted to say thank you to you and the team for the tutorials. I'd also like to say that you are the reason I'm now going to have to spend real money and go buy after effects!

Please keep the excellent tutorials coming and once I get up and running I'll come back and get one/some of your plugins as some attempt at pyback for all your hard work.
Thanks again
JIM

Amazing Mr. Kramer. I've learned so much from your 80 plus tutorials, they are always amusing and productive. Your web page is also a joy to navigate through. I want to give you some money (the tools you've taught me have certainly helped me earn some) but I can't find a "Donate" link anywhere. Is there one available? Please keep up your amazing work.

Get motion blur!

Thank you ~~

Hey Andrew...
I've got one problem :(.When i want to put maybe some floor (road texture or something like this....) i can't put it correctly :(. It doesn't rabbet. It is always away from buildings in this case :S. Can you, or any other tell me how to do with 3D easily... how to make this what i want on easily way :) ?
(stupid question, i know, but i'm very ANGRY :@ )
Regards !

Yeah goldorach est content thanks

Hello Andrew. First of all thanks a lot for all the really nice tutorials you provide free of charge.
Here is just a small tip I would like to share:
In the begging of the tutorial you use the "Transform > Distort" tool in photoshop to correct the perspective of the building, but there is a much easier way to do that inside photoshop. Instead of the distort tool, you can use the "Crop" tool. After drawing the crop boundary there will be a checkbox called "Perspective". Turning it on, you will be able to align the crop box to the perspective of the building. Just hit enter and there you have it: Flat and cropped.
Kind regards!
Cassiano

Wow! I've been looking for a tutorial like this forever! Thanks for all you hard work! It is definitely much appreciated!

GOD BLESS A.K.

BEST TUTORIAL FOR AE

great work .... keep it up Andrew
and thanks to your mind
^__^

Superb tutorial Andrew. Was a little surprised you didn't use the Crop Tool set to Perspective to create the build sides which would have cropped it all straight in one shot rather than using Free Transform and Distort and aligning via Guides - but hey good job anyway :) Loving everything you create.

Building "cardboard cities" can yield much better results than usually expected.

Here's a short video - a "making of" for the project I did back in 2003. Except for a different stylistic approach, the techniques used are very similar to those of your tutorial:

Keep 'em coming - it is always fun to watch your presentations.

you are the shizzle.....

KRAMER FOR PRESIDENT
seriously though that GTA joke, LMFAO
LOVE THE TUTORIALS :)

Andrew!! You come up with such great tutorials man!! Where do you get ideas from? I find every tutorial valuable!

Awesome work.

Thanks for these great tutorials Andrew...

I only wish you would work the tutorials and show us the best way to do things as separate rendered movie parts to be composed for final renderings.

With layers, effects, particles, 3d, adjustment layer over adjustment layer, my machine chokes to a halt when rendering.

Not all of us have multi-quad core 32GB machines you know.

CHEERS!

Don´t know what to say....

I love how in your original comp you took a building and squished it into a small square to make it look the building had a protrusion at the top.

This technique reminds me of what they always do on the TV show "Smallville" when they are beginning a new scene or setting. Here is an example

I couldn't find a longer, better one on youtube, but you get the idea of what i mean.

Very beautifull job !!!

hi andrew once again a fantastic tutorial...

andrew u r not human u r saint helping many peoples suffering from bad education especially in india ... they take huge amount of money, and then also they dont want to share there knowledge and only stick to the basics or they dont know beyond that.... they feel very proud even they only know the basics.....

i had left my institution that is arena multimedia, indiranagar branch, lucknow after i get ur site...

and i will definitely go for ur products from the money which i save from my fees...

sorry for my incorrect english coz its my second language...

once again thanx a lot for making my life better ..

OMFG, its just amazing!

Big THX to you, i like youre tutorials.

very good job.

nice tutorial good lucky Andrew!!!

Absolutely STUNNING!!

Thanks for every effort you and your team making .

Andrew you are one of a kind ,

also this work is Awesome .

advertising simcity and GTA eh? luls love the tutorial btw

Greatly enjoyed the tutorial! As always, you stimulated my thinking as to how I can incorporate this sort of project into my weekly video output. The downer in this case is that my city's skyline has about three buildings bigger than a breadbox. (visualize sad face here) Thanks, just the same, Andrew, for your constant tutelage. Take the rest of the day off. You earned it.

I had the same idea to set it the way you did,and I actually managed to make it quite well, but man it's even better to have such a great tutorial to help out with the details.
Once again thank you very much

You are the men.

andrew te fuiste al carajo nos salvaste la empresa

IN SPANISH guauuuu men exelente eres el dios del AF hasta estoy aprendiendo ingles viendome todos estos tutoriales y este esta de lujo.. de los mejores gracias por compartir tu talento.. yor are the best.

About the tagline,
Andy, you should watch "EuroTrip", There's a scene where a guy is getting mugged in Amsterdam, he didn't complain much about it.

I don't know where you live, but I wanna hang out with you. I owe you at least 100 drinks for ths knowledge you have passed on to us for free! You rock!

You and TD change lives.

Muito legal seus tutoriais.. parabens.........

Awesome Job Mr. Kramer, really aspiring! Thanks for all those cool tips and presentation. By the way I am basically from India but relocated to New York City. I must ask you will you able to come on a India tour if we specially organize a India AE tour for you. There are lot of Film and Video enthusiast. they will love to meet and learn from you.

Kind Regards
Aftab

This tutorial is the best. It came out pretty fast, too. You must have worked hard. I am pretty proud of my version, too. But yours is the best. You rock!

BIG Wow, Mr K... I'd be lost in AE land without your guidance! (I just wish I knew how HALF the things you do actually work - til then I'll gladly follow on blindly)

Fantastic tutorial Andrew.
Thank you once again.

You are KING . Svaka cast ! ! ! (on serbian)
I've done something like this, but you learn me how to make that it is more realistic, more cool ! :). Thank you man !
Regards,
Djordje

You are the best!... hey man, could you please make a tutorial explain the use of the LIGHT??? Wold be great! Thanks a Lot Andrew!

Awesome Andrew!

Cool stuff! Thanks for the help Andrew

Nice!! Congratulations! :) You are professional

Nice job Andrew, thx for all! ;)

Ha that's awesome Andrew! This one gives me a really good idea for a shot. Thanks a bunch dude! =D

great work andrew! and dia duit from ireland! it looks really great - it might look a bit more realistic if you apply your 3D Falloff on it or if you turn the aperture or the focus on on the camera, the buildings in the background are too sharp and in-focus compared to the "new-york skyline" directly behind it, but never the less, great work! keep it up!!

Not many jokes but the SimCity and GTA ones were great since I play that a lot...

Love more jokes and love more tutorials!
-David

Nice one!

Yet another amazing tutorial from God....ROFl I love the part with you game ideas! Very original!!!

I'm glad that you did a tutorial about AE 3d. It's me favorite.

http://vimeo.com/3157365
That's my reel, it's pretty much all AE 3d!

Andrew you're the best, I started with Video Copilot a little over a year ago and now I got some marketable AE skillz. If you guys make more shirts you should make some that say, "Everything I know I learned from the Kramer." And then have you posing in the Kramer pose.

mutio bom.
