it´s simple, you parent all the 3d ellements to a Null Object and then keyframe the Null´s Rotation how ever you want.

Well, what can I say! firstly I would like to appologise for my ignorance, until today I always thought Adobe AE was like a cheap 'Combustion' or 'Nuke', all I can say here is how wrong I am. I have just got AE CS5, and believe it or not, I did a google search for a muzzle flash and your site came up......you now have a new fan! Once I get the hang of AE I will be treaing myself to some DVDs from you.......My birthday is coming up, I know what I can say to the missus what I would like now hehehe! And the site itself......Beautiful!

Hi? everyone,
The way to get the 3D-like Effect could be realized by this way:

Check the options of the CC Particle World,
Make sure the Motion Blur in the "Rendering" option is on, then the particle will leave a motion track just like the 3d effect.

It is not a real 3D, but Andrew is really smart to get an illusion in this way.
enjoy~

Moolkye
10/27/2010
Ya know, I love all of the tutorials on this site. But there are certain ones I wish people would do. For instance in this tutorial you use the animated flourishes. Why not have a tutorial showing how to animate the flourishes. I have yet yo find one tutorial to show me how to create animations like that.
Thanks

For the 180 degree effect that everyone is asking about... Just go to "layer" create a new "null object" then parent your camera to the null object. Then highlight the null object and push "R" on the keyboard for orientation. Go down to the "Y Rotation" and type the degree to 180 and ancor it by clicking the stopwatch (this should be at the first frame.) then scroll forward to about 1 second and ancor the degree on about 7. then scroll forward to about 2 seconds and ancor the degree on -14. That should work... your welcome.

Didn't show how to create the 3D and make it stay, you showed how to spin it round but not how to keyframe it to make the 3D actually happen, I will never consider spending any more money on your products
