201 RESPONSES TO "3D STROKE EFFECT" by erlyjunior 09/17/2007 ok by patitas 09/17/2007 men you are awesome im mexican and i work to video produccer i dont know nothing of after but you techme so much with your tutorial keep doing please and i have acuestion what after you used 7 cs3 or 6.5 please tell me by Zuto Kido 09/21/2007 Congratulations! your videos are really good, i have a QUESTION: where can i find how to use correctly those functions? when i was using this line : (z=thisComp.layer('Nulo 1').transform.position[2]; z/thisComp.width ) it didn´t work well, the program showed me a warning message 'Warning AfterEffects, incorrectly argument, expression disabled: error in line 1' then when i was trying to do this proyect i couldn´t finish it, the point with the particle didn´t work well... So i would like to read how to use those functions or if you can tell me what´s wrong with this line? i´m using After Effects 7....Thanks PS: Sorry for the english i´m Latin-American... by pinkcat 09/22/2007 Dear professional, First of all i would like to thank you about your great Tutorials .. your way in explaining is very uniqe But i have some question to you it is about Simulation ... actually i don't have this list of CC , and sure i don't have CC particle World so could you tell me how can i get this plug in? and sure i'm using After Effects CS3 Thanks a million by MAGDEY 09/25/2007 mmm by amr saf 09/26/2007 andrew ur the best i ever seen by eduardo gomes 09/27/2007 ![]() by ramil 09/28/2007 zillion thanks.........great tuts im looking for this tuts ![]() by N0R0 10/02/2007 First of all, congratulations for the great tutos... i'm learning a lot!

On the one I did from scratch, it sometimes looks fine before I ram preview it, but when I use ram preview it looks different than what I see from scrolling through the effect in realtime. It seems kinda complicated just to get a simple cool effect, I hope someone will develop a new plugin at some point to animate this way ^^; by rith 10/23/2007 thanks by sam 10/28/2007 hi love ur tuts i hate when sim ppls steal ur wrk and clames it its his by Eldundy 10/31/2007 Dear Andrew !!!

Something like this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyEfksvhwaQ by Aaron B 11/30/2007 Nice work on all of your tutorials, i am only 13 but ur lessons are easy 2 follow by Robert 12/04/2007 Pretty kewl as usual Kramer, you really rock on! i do have a question though, is it posssible to make the particle more smooth and round? Cheers and thanx for a this great knowledge you share with us. by Bobby 12/11/2007 Yo, Thanks for a great tutorial, but I cant do the most interesting part because every time I bring the values for the particle down to zero, its invible or not even there so when I adjust the x,y,z position nothing changes so Theres no point in even creating the null object. this is so frustrating. by walther 12/14/2007 todo esto es una basura no sirve para nada by gauri 12/19/2007 reallyyy very very nice tutorials..... thanks 4 all tis. by Raj 01/03/2008 I think you can better...... ![]() by kamran shaiq 01/03/2008 hey im just having trouble when you are switching everthing in particle effects to zero... im not getting that lone single particle. its fine before i switch the production and physics off but as soon as i switch it off everything dissapears this is torrmenting me and driving me nuts. could u please help me?>-( i am praying there a simple switch im forgetting for this. plz do help. by bastien 01/07/2008 erh... link to project not working... by warheil 01/11/2008 ![]() by sally 01/13/2008 this tot is so goode ,and i think u r the pest.by Xtian 01/17/2008 Good Job Andrew! i've been following ur work and i get surprised each time i watch the videotutorials. So i've got a Q for u. can you give me some Tips to have a good control of the stroke path and camera? Thnx. God Bless U (From Colombia) XD by ban 01/19/2008 hey andrew one more time thnx for this greats lessons. i wonder if u can tell something about exporting video for web. your tutorials are big size and they download very fast. wich format do you use? and settings use for? by yacine 01/23/2008 thx alot man you are a master by ahmed aleem 01/24/2008 You r really doing an amazing job.

I'm tried using this to make a moving line(like this: http://www.beam.tv/beamreels/reel_player.php?jqbvsptxVy&resize=1 ) but I couldn't do it. can you help me out with this? I can understand if your too busy, but i would really appreciate it. by Richard Kay 02/07/2008 Hi man! I really appreciate that you took time to make these tutorials! Good descriptions! Plain, clear and some insight jokes/stuff There aren't any good AFX sites, or descent tutorials so: YOU ARE BOOKMARKED!!! ![]() Richard, the Netherlands ![]() by Alyn 02/08/2008 Great tutorials.I love them but i have a problem whit my AF 7 Pro.When i want to drag or import something in it it just Not Responding and then it crashes.:(.If somebody knows how to fix it it will be much apriciated. by Bearpig 02/12/2008 Great tutorial Andrew! Just a quick question - If you wanted it to wiggle and then draw a specific shap (logo for example), can you easily do this with the same null object, or would it be better to have the null with the wiggle expression finish the same frame that another one starts (to draw your shape)? Cheers for any advice by kieran wollacott 02/13/2008 can you show me a tutorila on how to do this.please by VÃc 02/17/2008 Hi Andrew, This is one of the great tutorials you have here, but i was wondering... Is there a way to do something like this 3d stroke effect but with text? by OMAR 03/11/2008 U THE BEST by Adonya 03/16/2008 thanks alot man you are hero ![]() by AMINE ABDALLAH 03/22/2008 thanks. by Bambula 03/23/2008 Hi Andrew, the first time I would like to say a lot of thanks. But I have a quastion. How can I make this stroke in real 3D? I can't do that this stroke move around a object. Example if i want that this stroke moving around a text (3D layer), I cant do it. The text is always in front of the stroke. If I change the "particles" layer to 3D layer I can moving it in front of the text, but I it is always there, and i cant make a motion. I hope you understand my problem. Sorry but my english is not really good! by hani4d 03/23/2008 thanks andrew u learn me more by ND 03/26/2008 Hello! I need to purchase the cycore effects - and the cycore site is for a better term 'lacking' - I am running AE7 and have basically opened it up today so I know nothing... is 6.5 the correct version to order ($49) - or do i need the HD version ($249) I understand that the package is on the install disk - but the support group does our installs and doesn't understand how this works - their response: "its already installed" - I cant wait 4 months while they try to figure it out :) Thanks in advance! by Jardon 03/30/2008 thanks for the tutorial you shared..i've learn a lot by Laurie 03/31/2008 Hi, first time commenter, long time viewer. I love your work! I am a huge fan. ![]() I am having a little trouble with this one and was wondering if you know where I went wrong. I was trying to do the 3D Stroke Effect tutorial and I get as far as setting all the physics to zero and then I don't even have a spec on my screen. I see nothing, even when I continue on with the tutorial, nothing is there. I tried moving the playhead and played with the Producer positions. Only when I add gravity or velocity I see the particle. When I do that it's way to big and my streak doesn't look like a streak. Any ideas. I am using CS3 on my Imac with intel. Thanks ![]() by BrazilCanada 04/01/2008 andrew..you are the best!! you are really good teaching, and also funny (that's make you a better teacher )thanks for all this tutorials!! but..i'm having some problems with it, Im using CS3, I set up particular world as you said, all "0" (only logetivity, and birth rate are in defoult), the white object (solid)is not in a 3D layer, but, i don't know why, it just doesn't work, i cant see any "particle" do you guys can help me? what can be wrong with it? PS: sorry for my english, I'm brazilian, living in Canada, so i still learning english ![]() Thanks guys by phil 04/02/2008 hi andrew i have a problem with this, when i use my cc partical world, i get 4 green lines going from the centre of the flare to the four courners. do u have a solution to this if so can you e-mail thanks. by tristan 04/03/2008 hi i'm having the same problem as some others. when typing in the equation to link the null warning messages flash up saying there is no property or method named "this comp" i keep trying differet things but it won't work can anyone help? please email me. thanks a lot! by Gary-Uk 04/04/2008 Thanks man great tuts ![]() by Sid 04/07/2008 You probably have heard this a million time over.. but Andrew Kramer is the best ever... I love your tutorials... They are ohh soo simple and easy to follow... You sources are pretty good too.. Love your stuff bro.. Keep it up by Ricky 04/10/2008 Hi, I like this tutorial, but I don't really like it if you say "with built-in tools from AE7" and it's not the truth ![]() My CC Particle has the same green lines (X) on the screen. It seems to be not free... so would be helpfull if you say/write that somewhere so I don't have to watch the video and wake up like "huh... made for nothing" Ricky by Steve 04/11/2008 Good tutorial, but you neglected to mention how you made the position of the particle interact with the room lighting in the example you started with. (A very important effect for believability.) It's pretty obvious to me that you probably just parented the light you created to the null layer, but perhaps it won't be to some. Keep up the good work, I really enjoyed the AE basics tutorial series. ![]() by Marko Sejat 04/15/2008 Hi, i would just like to know how to install trapcodes into adobe AE 6.0 , can you help me out? by Roger 04/16/2008 Hey, remember to not enable 3d on the particles solid, as the 3d effect wont work. by Lincoln Waldron 04/17/2008 Hey Andrew Thanks for the tutorials. Really appreciate your work. Keep the tasteful stuff coming. If you could do more text tutorials that would be amazing, good ones if possible, the level of JUSTICE, music videos. Thanks a million ![]() by ramazan acidemir 04/20/2008 thank you from turkey, you are perfect by shaker 04/20/2008 hey it is the best as i think... by djshy 04/28/2008 man..i think i've watch all of the tutorials at least twice!.. great work as always... by Chris Québec 04/30/2008 Hi Andrew, AE's god! Same problem as "brazil canada" and others, when I turn everything down to zero, everything disappears, I dont have a single particle like you do. Keep up the good word, you're great! by forrest sinnes 04/30/2008 just wondering, wanting to do a video with these moving around me, possible? i can tseem to figure out how to make them go behind me its not like photoshop where i can cut my self out and paste behind... by bmacx 05/03/2008 Andrew, Greetings from the Caribbean, just dropping you a few lines to say that I appreciate for efforts here man, I'm a print designer and have just started off in motion graphics. Your tutorials really help me along that part. Keep up the good work, you're good at it. Thanks a mil. by Kenny 05/07/2008 Nice i can use this tutorial in my school Thanx by Kevin 05/10/2008 Where did you get the "CC Particle World" plugin??? by المعتصم بالله 05/11/2008 Dear Andrew. Thanks for the tutorials. and good luck for you . by fez 05/12/2008 This is a fantastic tutorial! i'm a new user of Aftereffects and my english isn't the best!...I copied from another comment... "I cant do the most interesting part because every time I bring the values for the particle down to zero, its invible or not even there so when I adjust the x,y,z position nothing changes so Theres no point in even creating the null object. this is so frustrating!" ...regards... form italy by Arnold Guerrero 05/17/2008 It worked great for me, but I tried to duplicate it in the same project and only one emitter shows up - any way around this? by Carlo Mario Spadafora 05/23/2008 Man you rock. Thanks a lot. May God bless you ![]() by ultramizer 05/28/2008 Love your tuts!!! by Erik Houtman 05/28/2008 hi andrew.. first of all, thanks for the awesome tutorials.. some give me some trouble but still i can mostly use them for my school work. just notifying also for everyone else who reades, this tutorial does not work as nice in widescreen. there's a problem with the particle height expression. i'm trying to figure it out and i'll post it as soon as i do greetz by erik houtman 05/28/2008 hi again, as the result of my previous post, no formula would probably solve this, but if you do want to make a widescreen edit of this, make sure you use a "square pixel" composition that's that... this is an awesome tutorial by the way, definitely going to use it for school by PRAVEAH 05/31/2008 Thank,s very much. Really you great. Thanks Tutorial ![]() by Adam 06/05/2008 RE-ENTER the Postion to "0", even if there is a "0" in Producer -> Radius X, Y ,Z. This will reduce the Particle to a small line like in the tutorial. But i've got the same problem like the others, I've downnloaded the CC-Particle World from the HP für free. Don't know how to deaktivate the green lines, or is it, cause it's for free? by digidave 06/06/2008 Dude your like the rainman of expressions! by Bubbu101 06/07/2008 Andrew Kramer, you are a GOD ![]() by Yann 06/13/2008 Hello, your tutorial is very exellent. congratulation. But i've a problem when i change position effect: cc particle word. I have not the expressions option for move and whrite this you whrite. You know solution ? Thanks by Shavkat 06/16/2008 Andrew! You are great. Good job Andrew. I wont to talk with you I'm from Tashkent I'm not English I'm Uzbek ... ![]() by libihui 06/18/2008 I'm from china ,Thank,s very much by S_FX 06/18/2008 good tutorial. i had the same problem of the "invisible" particle. but i went ahead and did this: "RE-ENTER the Postion to "0", even if there is a "0" in Producer -> Radius X, Y ,Z. This will reduce the Particle to a small line like in the tutorial." -i actually did this step 2 or 3 times while adjusting Birth Rate and Birth Size until the particle looked like the tutorial. now if I could just change the color of the 3D Particle Stroke cuz it's coming up PURE BLACK!!!? by Jeremy 06/22/2008 I just tried this and i am using cs3, it isn't the same particle world as the one you are using here. After analyzing the video over and over, i can't get a thin result playing with the death size and birth size. i have done many of your tutorials, really amazing, but this is the only one that i can't seem get to work so far, the only thing i can think of is that something has changed in the most recent version of particle world, what do you think? by Jeremy 06/22/2008 I just tried this and i am using cs3, it isn't the same particle world as the one you are using here. After analyzing the video over and over, i can't get a thin result playing with the death size and birth size. i have done many of your tutorials, really amazing, but this is the only one that i can't seem get to work so far, the only thing i can think of is that something has changed in the most recent version of particle world, what do you think? by maddy 06/29/2008 wow this tut is very very very nice thanx to maker of thisby William 07/02/2008 I can nearly swear that there is no Z coordinate for my Null object, so the whole bit worked until the point where the expression linked them. You said you use After Effects 7, so I was wondering if it was because I'm using CS3? Nevertheless, a great tutorial! It's great that you make these for everyone to see, and, not to mention, they're all free...Well, most of them anyways. Regards, William by Kay 07/06/2008 hey, thanks! really cool tutorials here ... the only problem with this, is that, because the solid layer is not 3D, you cannot have it cast a shadow ... that's a shame, any other way i could have a shadow from the moving particles onto the floor? regards, k by Hett 07/08/2008 Good! nice work :) by salman 07/10/2008 its really helpfull web site and this one again give us help Regard salman by salman 07/10/2008 its really helpfull web site and this one again give us help Regard salman by marcus 07/13/2008 thanks so much. all your tutorials are amazing by Projjwal 07/13/2008 I think everybody got chance to see the tutorials...but for me bad luck..my internet speed is 128kbps and its too slow to watch such a high quality videos.......Wish I could download.. ![]() by holly 07/16/2008 OMG ![]() by Ethan 07/16/2008 Takes TOOO long to load! ![]() by zabe 07/21/2008 where do i get 3D strokes for AE? tnx by Mark 07/23/2008 I'm trying to get more control out of the POINT null by parenting it to another null which I would offset & rotate to get corkscrew/ circular effects, but the expression wont allow it to work when parented. Is there perhaps a workaround? Excellent tutorial as always. ![]() by Luis_ 07/31/2008 Awesome! I have to get familiar with these expression thingies! so keep-em coming! Thanks. I'm a buyer! I'm a buyer! by Hector 08/04/2008 Awesome, this is a really nice tutorial by Izuddin 08/08/2008 It's tremendously well-done! By the way, I am no good in expression and thus, is it possible to manually control movements of the 3D-stroke effect in AE rather instead of relying on expression? Hope you reply, thank you. by PhilippineEagle 08/11/2008 Your tutorials helps a lot. You explain things with great clarity and simplicity. Not to mention your classic jokes. Wehehe!! 'Keep it up and may the force be with you. ;0p by Harry Hayer 08/14/2008 22 g tuhadi galbat he vakhri he by Krissan Pattugalan 08/22/2008 Hi Andrew! I've been doing your tutorials to learn after effects, and I have to say that you are the best teacher online that I have ever witnessed accross all programs. I have a small problem with this one though. I can get it to work every single time when I do this by itself, I can't get it to work on existing projects. Do the calculations have to be different for PAL/DV screen sizes? The particle is still connected although it moves only extremely slightly. Calculations problem? by child 08/26/2008 I want to see it ,but the page be can't to watching`````` by Mario Amadeu 08/26/2008 U r very funny. Hillarious!!! I like your comments better than the tutorials. of course that u have know how of what u teach, we can see that 10 thousand miles away, but your comments, man makes me crack. keep doing this awesome work, and whenever I get the chance I will telling about my friends and people that I know in the industry about your marvelous work. From Brazil, USA, and much more, here is Mario . Have a good one. by Foxster 08/31/2008 Hi, whenever I do something on After Effects (or I try to get ahold of you "project") I cant seem to save (well I can but my PC doesnt reccognise the file when it saves it.. Its the same with photoshop. Any help? Samkin@live.co.uk by The Red Limit 09/05/2008 hey you are amazing - can you show me how to draw in real time with real motion paths in free hand - the official tutorial from ADOBE touched on it but - it was never clear - I know you would do it better. We are using some of your stuff to build our music video. Our tunes are at www.myspace.com/theredlimit Thanks again Andrew and Crew! by Arnetia 09/07/2008 Hey man, you have given me more than you know, I am now the greatest graphical designer my school has ever seen, when I look for colleges, I compare the stuff they BRAG about to the stuff that you have already taught me! I have a self worth I have not had in a long time, and you sure as hell have given me a future, thank you so much Andrew, and seriously man, God bless you dude. by waz 09/07/2008 basically the particalls are massive,b but i have specified them to be small! they only follow the Z of the null. spent 3 hours on this, and it doesnt work. please advise by Pieter 09/10/2008 hi andrew ihave tried to watch this tutorial a few times , it only runs halfway then stops , i enjoy your stuff a lot . pieter south africa by Huo 09/11/2008 so gooooood how do you do it amazing man...... lov it by DreD 09/17/2008 Thank you Andrew! You rule! Waiting for more tutorials ! by Pete 09/17/2008 Hi Andrew I have been watching a lot of your tutorials, but this one on 3d stokes and using the particle world is just not working. The expression that you have given just don't work and I'm not getting that cool trail, when moving the Null object around. Is there another way to use the expression or another to simulate a similar style. Cheers and thanks so far for your tutorials by Les Rehklau 09/18/2008 guess this was created in 7.0.1 AE and I have CS3 so it has to convert, but complains that CC Particle World is missing, is this AE's particle or 3rd party. Nice Demo by MacMillan 09/19/2008 Thanks a lot to Andrew, Sam, and all the other guys from video copilot.net it was a very great tutorial thx. by Sickness 09/23/2008 Great tutorial Andrew. Now if anyone wants the camera to follow the particle from a distance you can do the following. Create a new expression at the camera position and add this: x = thisComp.layer("NullObject").transform.position[0]; y = thisComp.layer("NullObject").transform.position[1]; z = thisComp.layer("NullObject").transform.position[2]-800; [x,y,z] Where at z the "-800" is the distance you want it to be from the particle and "NullObject" is obviously the NullObject which the particle follows. by RAEDEN TORIBIO 09/24/2008 im 9 yrs. old i watchin ur tutorial men thank yo u by Innocent Lesole 09/25/2008 Thanks a lot Andrew, keep the coming. By the way how/where do i get more of those presets? Innocent from BOtswana by Marcos 09/28/2008 very good.

It no appear my the icon to connect the world particule with the null object. by Taztus 03/20/2009 Hey Andrew! I have a problem.. i can't see a pixel when i make an particle world and set all te setting to 0.. it all disappears.. If i change the particle to Lens Convex it will go to a really strange place.. Also when i do this an a new project.. i can't see a thing when i put all the settings to zero.. What can i do, I'm just a beginner, so maybe it sounds stupid.. greetz, Taztus by darahluvu 03/23/2009 i dont get how this help with light writing like how i see pplz do on youtube like nanno im trying to do dat by kris 03/24/2009 does anyone know how to to this effect in cs3, cs3 doesnt have the option for simulate particle it only has particle playground which doesnt have the same options so i cant do this effect by Bob 03/24/2009 Great stuff, as always! I have one question though... ... Just kidding! keep up all the great work! by Ovash 03/27/2009 @Taztus : Same problem here, I think this tutorial was made with an old version of CC particular, I don't see any other reason. I tried every single option and there's no way I can get the effect needed... by Remington McElhaney 03/27/2009 I have the same problem as everyone else. I can see a single particle when everything is turned down to zero, but it's when I use the expressions to link the particle to the null object that it dissapears. I'm using AE CS4 and every other tutorial seems to work fine except this one. I've linked things before to null objects by using that same expression, so the expression works but something happens to the particle. Hope someone manages to figure it out. Thanks for all your tutorials! by Steve 03/30/2009 Hey these tutorials are amazing and I just started to use After Effects. The one problem I am having is when you explain to alt click for the positions to be the same for the Null space. Nothing happens when I alt Click.
