Why can't the orb in mine become 3d? It's flat, even though I already clicked the cube icon in my After effects... I have cs4 btw.

Good for you! Mavis Beacon is a great resource! And I also want to thank you for this tutorial. It has been very helpful in my movie project where a glass orb turns 3 teenagers into fauns, and one into a centaur. Not kidding. Thanks Video Copilot! :)

Hey Kieran, i'm using CS5.5 I have CC Sphere and have finished this -Which by the way is great thanks Andrew- Are you sure you typed it right in the right place? or have you got the full version? -The demo doesn't have as many features- I am a bit of a rookie when it comes to After Effects but I know my way around Adobe.

Hope this helps a little. : )

Andrew, ive just started learning after effects and i have to say, it was daunting to say the least, but thats to VC, my life just got sweeter! Booyah!

Thankfully im already a ninja with 3ds max...well...maybe not a ninja...more like an extra in a Jet Li movie, that gets his ass wooped...

Your tutorials are simply amazing and a fantastic learning tool, but also i want to thank all of the people who contribute in the comments section as alot of my issues have been answered, god bless my ability to read.

Greetings from Scotland, and no, we dont always wear kilts...only at weddings...and down the pub...

Hey, i need a bit of help. I was wondering where i would find the CC effects such as CC sphere because for some odd reason, I don't have it. I researched a little and according to others, my version(cs4 AE 7.0) should have it already. Help me out?

BTW: Your tutorials are Amazing! =D

If you got a cracked version of AE all plugins don't appear. You will have to buy it. (Or get a better Crack)
