your tutorials are fantastic. can u send me some basic tips that how you make things so simple...


thanks

I love this tutorial and all of yours. It has helped me understand the capabilities of After Effects. I cant believe anyone would complaining about any of this. Its free and if you dont like something about it, customize it to your liking. Who cares what the gravity is set to.

You know Andrew, with your normal super ability of adding detail, this tutorial is a tad disappointing.

The gravity should've been 0 even though you wanted it to be 1 for the sake of the tutorial. Also, how you did it now it just seems the planet has an outer shell but no core. I mean, all planets have something on the inside too right? Also the bits are too large. Remember, this is a big planet, after all. It to our eyes the bits would be big, but in space it would be tiny chunks of earth.

I think those latter 2 could've been solved by duplicating the layer, and then doing one with smaller puts a frame or five offsetted from the original to create both large ans small bits. And duplicating once more, and then offsetting it alot to make it be "inside" of the outer bits we had created and then make the extrusions larger.

That way it would seem it has a core too and that it explodes in both small and big chunks like a planet would do! That's just how I feel it though.

WOAHHH!!! you neeed to pay attention to the gravity(theres no gravity in space)

Everything seems to work fine until i apply the Shatter effect and set it to "rendered" and AE comes crashing down. I've tried on 3 computers- one of which is effectively the most powerful machine apple makes (so i know it's not a performance issue.) Anyone else having this issue, or am i just cursed?

sweet dude thanks for the tut. hopfully it will help me get in my brothers shoes (=

Muchas gracias he aprendido muchisimas aplicaciones de after y todo se lo debo a sus tutoriales, de nuevo mil gracias

Thanks Andrew.

very use in tutorials because easy the teaching way to ite

Hey Andrew, it's Nick from Italy... These are my first 2 days on After Effect, and since I've found your website, and your tutorials, I grew up so much with it! You made such a good job...

However let's come to the point... I've tried to do this blowing up effect... and well I tried to ad a "shaking" just around the explosion frames... (not more than 5/6 frames)... I've taken inspiration by the earthquake tutorial... It looks like the planet before "pump" up the energy, than shakes and blows out so powerfully... (sorry for any English mistake)...

Great job man!! Keep on doin'em...

Cheers, Nick

really good

what a effect

WOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!total planet destruction!!!you're the best there is!!!!!KRAMER WORLD RULES!

Awesome but 2 problems the first : The parts of the planet can't fall because in space there no gravity
The second : When the planet explosed the part could be more little




Thx , For the tutorial , You are awesome , Love you

has it occured to you that the peices of the planet are affected by gravity and fall down. Hellooo its space there is no gravity

AWESOME WORK. :o

Well, thank the lord that you're making those excellent tutorials. You can probably say that I've become a fan of you Andrew Kramer. I like the way you're talking about things like squirrels and wasting time and stuff.

So keep on ...
