Thank you so much! Very nice tutorial!

08/27/2010

@david
when you create the copies of the light make sure you chose instance for all as the modify options dont show when you select both intances and copies

08/16/2010

Hi there. Can someone please help me? I select all the lights when he names it "array" but when I select all lights and hit modify the option to turn intensity and all those options go away. I can only get those options if I select the lights one at a time. If you have any ideas please share your thoughts and thank you

Fox

08/15/2010

Looks like someone has helped themselves to this idea { If the link doesn't work , google 'SYFY logo'

BEST FUTURE FOR GRAPHICS DES GEN

07/10/2010

hey
can u make a tutorial in which 3d text animate
and 3d text should from after effects only not cinema 4d or 3DS max
plz...

07/02/2010

Hi Andrew,
i can't thank you and your team Enough for the great Work done. My skill in AE has greatly increased and i enjoy AE more than any other Software.
Keep the Good Work on. God Bless You Abundantly

06/15/2010

Can this same effect be done with moving video rather than animated objects? For example, is there a way to add shadows to objects in a well-lit clip of raw FOOTAGE (characters' faces, bodies, etc.) but still have the objects in the footage move with the shadows tracked so that it appears as though the footage was shot with low light? If I haven't been clear, please let me know. All adding-shadows tutorials seem to focus on animations rather than real-life footage.

05/25/2010

i followed all your settings for the omni light, the first light you made on the tutorial. How come my shadow are really faraway from my text? I followed all the settings shown in the video but still the shadows are way below the text?? I could really use your help..

05/02/2010

@Private.
You cant do it that way. You misunderstood the concept. There is no way to import 3d objects into AE.Its a composting application... and Usually, you'll leave it as a 2d layer.

04/20/2010

Hey,

i am a LONG time watcher. LOVE your website. its changed my life... really. i found something that might be of use to you. maybe you can use it in a different tutorial or something. i'd like to see The Kramer add his flare (maybe literally?) to the concept shown here. hope you like it!

:D

04/08/2010

@Morgan when you have a lot going on its gonna be slow to render. its slow for Andrew as well but he cuts out the render times to make the tutorials easy to follow.

04/02/2010

can u include how to render in a avi format a good quality.....

03/31/2010

Hey, i have a question, When im doing the stuff in AE, when i press play it takes ages to play it, in his vid when he presses play it is really smooth, how can i fix mine?

03/20/2010

i want which program is best 3ds max or maya about render

03/12/2010

luv u guy,u make me. tks

03/11/2010

Hey, I'm trying to do this in max, everything works except the inital shadow. It isn't appearing like yours, mine is just appearing flat behind the text not at an angle.

03/11/2010

ur great man

02/11/2010

Hi, for some reason my 3D Text always appears as Flat Image when i wanna import it to After Effects.

I press F9 to render it.
Then Save Image as .. TARGA.
Then i import into After Effects and make the Layer 3D .. but its still a Flat Image.

Any Help ? Thanks !

02/04/2010

The SyFy channel used this for their brand new logo!

Dude I'm starting to see your work everywhere. I mean, at least the foundations/influence of it.

02/02/2010

Hey Andrew!

When I group the lights it will not show "Omni Light" in the Modifier.

- UP

01/04/2010

Thx i just started using 3ds max and this has made it easy to start learning!

01/02/2010

I just stumbled onto this site...awesome stuff! You guys really are talented, and you make the teaching/learning fast

01/02/2010

@Christopher J
Depending what version of max you have press 'x'

12/29/2009

Hey Andrew, make some more 3D Max tutorials! it's awesome man! Perhaps you can do some meteor type tutorial!

12/29/2009

Greats kramer Thank you!

12/25/2009

I'm new to 3d Max, I've got a problem and was wondering if you could tell me how to fix it...
the y,x and z axes won't display on my object when I use the "click and move" tool.
Do you know what I should do to able to display them again?

01/30/2011

go to customise preferenses,gizmo,and then turn on the gizmo,cose the max.n open it again.

12/23/2009

Dude they totally used this on the History Channel's Holiday Bonus commercial!

12/16/2009

Saw this being used as a promo on Sci-Fi channel. Everything was the same. Pretty funny.

12/10/2009

what the name software used??..

12/10/2009

it's awesome ! I would like more tutorials like this.

12/10/2009

Your wealth of experience is highly appreciated.
God will continually improve you.
You are simply the best!!!

12/01/2009

First, thanks for the great tutorials and insights. Great site.
Second, anyway to create these "SyFy" shadows in After Effects and Zaxwerks?
Thx,
BD

11/27/2009

Thanks Andrew

11/21/2009

09/06/2009

E ai, sou Jonathan Phillip por Cubo Artes Design,
parabenizando pelos tutoriais, muito bem explicados e prduzidos...

08/30/2009

Never thought I would hear your voice on a 3DS Max tutorial :P

08/21/2009

Great! Make more 3D's Max tuts! Basic training tutorials for 3D's Max would be great :)

08/19/2009

Nice tutorial. After watching i made this in Blender. Ok mine is a little bit different cause i took a freaky and grungy font and made it much darker (i just used one lamp) But it comes really near to this :)

Thanks for the inspiration Mr. Kramer

08/14/2009

I can't for the life of me, get those lights in the correct spacing/positon. Been working on this all day, and just about to abandon the project. If anyone could help me out, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

08/09/2009

hi andrew!i really love all your tutorials in after effects! i'm currently learning 3dsmax now but i'm still in the basics. can you pls make a basic training as well in 3d? i think i can learn it better when you are the teacher, tnx! God bless!

07/29/2009

andrew !!! really u r inspired me to work AE, thank u,

07/25/2009

Greats kramer!!

07/22/2009

awesome tutorial!!

07/22/2009

la verda me encanta como esta realizado! pero a mi no me salio! jaja... se me complica mucho con 3Dmax

07/16/2009

is it ok to use all Boujou, Maya, Cinema4D and 3DS Max? like do companies do that at all? or are they just reserved for one software? I'd like to know if anyone could answer me this.

07/10/2009

Saw this effect used on a promo for a cable station (maybe SciFi network.) I was blown away to see it was a straight rip from the project files - down to the font used!

Do the guys who do these promos sit around their computers hitting refresh all day with the hopes that Andrew has posted another tutorial? It's cool to used a tut to get the creative jucies flowing but come on!

07/10/2009

this program is the coooooooooooooooooool program...
