Hi, for some strange reason I follow this step by step and as soon as i turn accept lights off for my white BG grid, the shadow dissapears. Any suggestions?

hi, Andrew
another AWESOME tuto from u

Thanks man , U r the Best

this is Debojyoti form India

I like this effect its used a lot in newer TV shows and I was also wondering if this applies for Text over videos and if it applies to something like that. I want to put this over video. If I watch this another time I may know it word for word. Should I just try it with video and tweak accordingly?

Thanks great tut :) :) :)

Love it. Love all your tutorials. Great explanation and quality. My most favorite website ever! And funny humor!

Hi Andrew..!!!Nice Tutorial..
Do you have any tutorial about convert 2D pics in a 3D animation? Example:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brgJHkqkdcY

Hahaha, I laughd haha "Nah, nevermind. That's a horrible joke."
Anyway, nice tutorial!

Great tutorial! But I thought it was going to be on a moving image, does anyone have an example of one of those?

You are the best, thx from Bolivia

AWESOME as always!! I've seen a few commercials with people walking through the 3D text like the one in this tutorial. Would you be able to do a future tutorial on how to do that? Thanks so much Andrew!!

Andrew! When i shut off the Accepts shadows on BG leyer, shadow is lost. Why? I open your project and shasows is lost too. Please Answer!

thanks a lot.... form Sri Lanka

your awesome man, great tutorial!

See, I've got After Effects CS3 (so it shouldn't be some issue with an old version) and I just don't get any shadows. I tried making my own at first, didn't get shadows. So I downloaded your project file and tried that: no shadows. Sort of strange. Every other tutorial of yours (well, all that I've tried, though for some I miss a plug-in) works fine. Any solution to this problem?

great tutorial ,,, i t was asome.
can u make a tutorial that show us how to make text come for behind a person in a normal clip( no green screen)
please...thanks

I too had the same problem with shadows...
When i switched off 'Accepts Lights' the shadow went away too...
but it worked great when i switched to a Spot Light!!

Was actually waiting for a tutorial like this, oh and I lol'd at "Gunnerson" :D .

YOU ROCK!

great work man

what a man you are...........
I realy enjoy with your tutorials
thanks a los..

needed that! right on time!

Thanks Andrew!

es muy bueno

First of all: Andrew you really are the best (well, at least when it comes to tutorials.) I've really never seen any tutorial that even comes close to your level. They're clear, you don't mumble, give a lot of extra information and the jokes. Oh, and you've got an awesome voice which sort of helps to make something that's in essence boring (well, yeah.. Tutorials don't give any euphoria or anything and I usually find them really boring (probably cause most people who make tuts always mumble and sound bored themselves and reading isn't very exiting either of course), a fun experience.



Anyway, to the point (: And I'm actually amazed nobody else has said this.

No Way. I was eating sweet n sour pork while watching this...

AUSUM Andrew. Thanx again.

Thanks from Finland!

Ayos Pare! Ang galing mo!!! Translation (Ride On dude! You are the Best!)

Hey,Andrew!

Your tuts are pretty much the best on the net i reackon.
Ive been on here a few times and i only had adobe after effects cs3 for about 2 weeks and im already understanding it slightly
oh and by the way im only 14 so yeah i guess im
quick learner =]
Anyways thanks forall your tuts man.
Keep it up!

Hey Andrew!

Hands down to your tutorials, your like post production genius!

Im doing my final project at university in motion tracking, its an opening sequence for a film, I wanted to composite 3D titles onto the footage. What I was wondering was, can the principles used in this tutorial be applied for moving footage, as the tutorial is done with a still? Also, would you recommend using AE for the full of this project, or do you think it would be better done using 3D software and Motion Tracking software? Thanks for any help you can give!

Hi, Andrew!
I love your tutorials! Everything you show, are as simple and useful as the work of a genius. Thank you for your time and effort from me and my colleagues from Russia.

thank you very much.that's another wonerfull tutorial from you again.thanks

Thank you! ^_^

hi

i have a problem and i saw thet it happened to other people too...

when i turn off the "accept lights" in the BG layer the shadows dissapere....

how can i fix it ?

please help

thanks

You got some stunning stuff here Andrew. Always good to see people sharing their knowledge. You are a gentleman and a scholar.

Thank you for the inspiration and for your tutorials.

Awesome stuff you got here! Taught me ALOT!

Big thanks from sweden!

hi,Andrew! 69-71 can't watch.you'd butter check them.

Thank you!
(fROM bRAsIL!!!)

that was very tricky..... and impressive.....

why i cant watch the video,i am from China

i love your job. this is great. thank you

Andrew, you are the ginchiest!

My problem with this tut is that no matter what I move (lights, camera, action)I can't get my shadows to meet up with my text! If I bring the text down to the floor...my shadow disappears! I tried different fonts and that made no difference. Is there something I'm missing here? Other than this, it all works great!!!

TS

Hi i dont know if im the only with this problem when i turn accept lights off on the floor layer the shadows arent visible anymore, the shadows arent visible in the project file that you provided, im using cs3. any help thanks

I love you

when are you going to do the next one ? :P

"Thank you all the time for the time" We enjoy this "teachings" We have learned alot from all this tutorials and we still do. Keep doing what you do best.

Ok I take that back - you guys are good for putting ANY tutorials out at all. I was having a bad day - sorry about that. Honestly - I'm a douche and I should not have written the comment above.

Hi Andrew! Eversince I've learned about videocopilot, i made sure I'm not missing any of your tutorial. I was wondering if you could also make a sample tutorial from the bullet training. Like how do you integrate 3dmax with AE. Or, what file format should be used in rendering for AE to read the alpha channel of the rendered movie in 3D max. Many thanks!

bueno bueno y bueno, no tengo palabras, simplente decir que sois los MEJORESSSSS.

You're great andrew thinks

Amazing, thank very much

Fantastic technique!!

You're simply awesome! I don't know what I'd do without your tutorials. Thank you so much!

Hey man! Thnx a lot about your tutorials! They're very helpful!;):D:D

hello Andrew Sir
its kamran from lahore,Pakistan
i m a big fan of urs and ur tutorials i learn this thing from ur tut and working on it pretty well

there is just 1 thing i like to ask is there nay short way to switch bitween the comps so i dont have to click on the comp all the time can u tell me plz

thanks

i ll be waiting for that plz tell us all abt that

Andrew, you're just a great guy, thanks for all these tutorials.

Hey, nice tutorial I've learned a lot from you!

I made a little somthing about a year ago sort of similar like this. Bit it has more to do with projecting 3d shadows on an image, making it come alive. But the tecnique (obviously) works with moving footage too.

Check it out at:
http://www.dynamicdevil.se/index.php?page=a-remark-you-made

If you'd like to have some comps to see how I did it, let me know!

Did you guys see the FRINGE pilot? the newest project of J.J Abrahams? The titles on the screens is similar with this tutorial. Very nice!

Upps, a tutorial 4 beginners or haven´t you had enought time to do another really great one? By the way thx for this one, but the difference between the "Speed Particles" or the "3D Offset" and this one is a bit too strange. Greetz from Germany

Great tutorial.

I was trying to follow along, but there was a problem.
As soon as I switch off "accept light" on the solid, the shadow disappears as well.

I even tried it on the project file from this tutorial and it didn't work.

I'm using CS3

It doesn't work. Please help me.

Once again Andrew you deliver. You are probably the most informative AE tutor out there. Many Many Thanks Hussein

thank you for your help!

Nice!

Would be cool if you could make a tut on text effects similar to where the text is attached or interacting dynamically with the scene. Like in the movie Stranger Than Fiction.

dude your tutorials are awesome they've really help me out a lot n my films. Props to the AE man.

Thank you, mr Kramer.
I did everything like you said but
when i turn off the accept lights of the BG
i dont get any shadows,what could it be that i'm doing wrong?

What type of camera/lens did you use to shoot the background image? The lighting / d.o.f. looks really strange but very cool.

I can think of lots of devious ways to use this !

I have a problem with Shadows, i can't see it in the BG.

Thanks

It's Awesome!
You are the one.

This tutorial is totally awesome. Quick question though...I'm having some problems. As soon as I click "ACCEPT LIGHTS OFF" on the BG Layer, my shadows disappear and this kills the whole thing. Anyone know why this happens?

Jimmy

I would really love to make this composition with a really low fps, it would give it that corky stop motion feel. (if you keyframe your text)

whoa!... so many views in two days? i am VERY Impressed, i was waiting for something like this anyway

good!very good!

you're my AE hero, good job.

Funny too. Like the new layout.

Andrew Kramer,

Thank you again for your time.

I have a question about this tutorial though. Is there a way to make the text, when looked at an angle, to look thicker? What I mean is, can we make the text look like it was carved out of bricks? (I care less about the texture, and more about making the text look thicker rather than thiner).

Thanks again for all that you do.

Thank you Andrew,

how can I make a 3D text in after with volume?

pdiaz@canal10mardelplata.tv

i have AE cs3 now! TNX andrew!!! I wish i'll become like you and surpass you andrew ^_^ What is your company by the way?

Hey Andrew,
Just wanted to say, where ever i look i see people using your products... Then one day, I was watching HBo (i live in India) and i see the exact same text
(the colorful universe tutorial) with the latest movies in Hbo.... Man!! i dont know whether you made it for them or some one used your tutorials, but man HBO?? cooool... where else??

love your work...

great tutorial, andrew!
brazil loves you!

Thank you from Crimea\Ukreine:)

Thank you very much for the tip about 3d shadow
I needed it so many times and I can't believe it so simple

This could be really nice if you had someone acting on a greenscreen and key it out and adding it to the scene and adding a little shadow to it so it gives a realistic look. It's kinda more believable.

Thank you Andrew! It seems like a great tutorial, but I just can't get it to work! When it comes to the part when I'm supposed to turn the "accepts lights - off" on the BG-layer, the shadows just disappears. Do you have any idea of what I'm doing that might be wrong? /Erik, Sweden

Another great episode....and great looking too. I agree, all street signs should be projected onto the street. No more looking behind bushes and trees to see what street you are on.

I am loving the new tutorial page design and all the great new functionality of the site. Keep it coming Andrew. I'll be right here soaking it all up. Have a great week.....and I hope the China Hut was good....

As usual you are the best !
Good continuation.

What the??? Gunnerson? Kramer is a cooler name! Anyhow, Kramer Highway is definitely cooler than that creepy avenue anyway. Thank you very much for this cool tutorial Andrew!

Thanks, man. Great trick!

Nice thanks

You know what I love about your tutorials Andrew, is everytime without fail you show something new to me. It may not be a complicated thing in fact it may be downright basic but nevertheless something I managed to overlook on my own, such as a light's shadow diffusion option - simple stuff, but not always seen or understood.

Thank You!

Short, Sweet, Simple, but as usual, Awesome!

So when is the next batch of Plug ins coming out? I know you just released Twitch not too long ago but I want more. And I'm sure I speak for the rest of us. Plus it wouldn't hurt your pockets any. Just a thought, If you do a youtube search on Fox reptilians you'll find a cool video effect I'd love to be able to do. Looks like your cable is going out and the pixels are mixing and growing.

gangratulation for the new site

Perfect timing, just wondering how to do that. Thanks from Honolulu, Hawaii.

"See a text layer and..." *grumble* "that was terrible joke"

haha, i love your tutorials-- informative and funny!

Thank You!!

Greetings from Africa!

Great tutorial,

Great tutorial as always. I was wondering if it would be easy enough to motion track this effect into footage? For example, footage of walking down the street, and there is the 3d "street sign" laying there. Thanks man

Congrats for the new site too

Thank you Andrew, you have perfect teaching skills!

Hey andrew, we tot After FX was too difficult until u unveiled it.U rock!!!!!cool tute!

lol! this was great,Andrew man you should be a comedian!

i have a problem with Lights in AE. it never use to happen before, i think its because i installed Vista. When i create a light, it turns all my 3D layers to black. i tried moving the light around, increasing intensity.. nothing seems to work

cool

Oh yeah.. I hope the pork was good.

Wow! That is awesome!
