Sensational. Thanks, so much for putting this tutorial up. You just solved the issue I was scratching my head over.

12/19/2012

yes you are awesome !!!

09/08/2012

This video is sooo great thanks a lot. I learnt a lot. But I have an issue I can't really work out and found nowhere the solution. My problem is when Andrew hits top view, he also sees the particles from the top view angle, BUT when I hit top view, I see the particles from the exact same angle as in active camera view, so I can't move on with many project because of this. I believe it's just an adjustment, but I can't find it. Can someone help? Thanks in advance, Peter.

01/25/2013

That's probably because you have not created a camera.

10/05/2012

From what I can understand, you can see the same thing in Active Camera as you can see in Top View. What me it means, your camera is in Top Position. Does it happens only in this tutorial or is that all the time?

09/17/2012

I'm having the same problem. Also, when i create the null and new camera in the shadow comp it gives the particles a new position (doesn't actually change the seed value).

08/14/2012

are u secretly a teacher?

06/29/2012

04/06/2011

Andrew, thank you so much for what you're doing. I needed to find out about the looping gif animation, about the particles in 3D space and about the bounce particle effect. I found it all in this tutorial. I also bought one of your products and I absolutely loved it. Thank you for what you're doing! You're the BEST! Yes you are, when it comes to AE tutors. I haven't met anybody better! I'm sure I'm not the only one!
Please don't stop making your products and tutorials!
Best Regards!

03/28/2011

Hey Andrew,

First I want to thank you for this awesome tutorial, I am learning a lot. I am a little bit confused about how to animate that ball, because in 3D Max you just modeled it without set any starting, or ending frame. This is the only issue I am having with this tutorial, I already made the ball, added shell modifier and material, I just don't know how to proceed with animation.

Thank you very much, you rule man.

04/13/2011

I found a solution to this (at last!!) The PNG file must be a PNG sequence which will reflect your animation. You must animate the ball (hit AUTO KEY and animate it). Then, in RENDER SET UP, select the number of frames you used in your animation. Scroll down and in OUTPUT, click FILE, create a new folder (because it will render a high number of frames) and select PNG as filetype. Then, in Af Ef all you have to do is import the first file of the sequence. The PNG sequence box must be checked, and, there you go!!

04/13/2011

I have the same problem. Everything's fine but when I go back to AE, the ball just won't move, because it's not animated. I don't know how we can render the animation in 3DS Max. Thank you!!!

03/21/2011

sir this is yogeswararao my dome work is many imparthint

YOU'RE GENIUS!

03/13/2011

Hi Andrew,

I hope you are going to read comment from such a old post!

I have problem with my shadows. Let me explain.

I am doing dhadows to my bouncing balls. Something like in you examples.

The problem is When I set up the expession for the focus distance and connecting it withe the position of the grid and camera it is just working in the opposite way. That means as the balls are getting closer to the ground the shadows are vanished and blured. As the balls are bouncing away from the ground the shadows are getting sharp and smaller. Which is obvously not good.

Any suggestions where am I go wrong.

The null rotated -90 degrees. The floor rotated as you did - 90 degrees.

Any idea, suggestions.

Thank you,

Misi

Hi Andrew,

Awesome Tut.

Just wondering how you did that camera zoom technique in your demo example.

12/29/2010

wassup andrew kramer i;m just letting all of you folks know that i'm going to be using this technique on my show. Check it out at Youtube.com/filmriot or triunefilms.com

12/29/2010

I'm new to AE so you can only imagine how mind blowing this is to me.

Your personality (which actually captures your audience) even trumps your astounding knowledge.

Great stuff, Andrew.

Hi, i love your tutorials but i haven't found a dvd menu tutorial for after effects,if you please do a simple one.
Thanx and Good Work

09/07/2010

It would be great to put some sort of energy pulse either inside or outside of the future balls. Or perhaps make them into a light sucker so they absorb the ambient light in a shot. I like the potential for this tutorial. I also love Andreisms... LOL @ "I'm like the wite Larry Bird." :D

09/06/2010
