Awsome super i did'nt like it i loved it
by Daniel 12/13/2007
Great Tutorial but I have run into a problem, When I enter lookAt(thiscomp.ActiveCamera.Position,Position)[0] I recieve a error message saying class layer has no method or property named thiscomp. I was just wondering what Im doing wrong. Thanks
by Greg 12/18/2007
Daniel, pay close attention to the capitalization when typing expressions, it's very important in javascript. It should be thisComp, activeCamera, and position, not thiscomp, ActiveCamera, and Position, as you typed in your comment.

Hello all right?
I am trying to do the effects that this teaching but it should point to the Windows Vista that I am using, and that I hoped we can help install the After Effects given to the effects that are shown in the videos!
Know of any sait that can help?
And forgive any errors that might be in the text is that I am Portuguese
I await the answer!

Hey, does anyone know how to aply the same effect to a full 360 FILMED rotation of an object. So I get it to always face camera, but I want the time remapping to react to the rotation of the camera so that it always show the specific frame according to the rotation of the camera.... I don?t know if that makes any sense to you guys, but I guess there must be someone out there who might know the answer to this one...

this efect help me lot ts
by Morgan Creepland 09/01/2008
Not that this was not a great follow up to the "Blue Planet" tutorial cuz it was! I love how you helped us 'space heads' by taking it up a notch! My thing is, why not up it one mo' time? How about showing us how to have a 3D solar system to fly tru too? We don't have to have anymore than 1 more planet. The thing is how to make star-space move around the planets the right way. If anybody feels me on this make some noise by asking for "3D Solar System". Think about it Andrew. I tried to do it on my own but since this is my first month with AE, God still has me beat on the creation thing...
by Omonisha 09/12/2008
Excellent bro. Wonderful tutorial. I tried to install the cc sphere presets as you guide but it's not showing up in AE. Plz Help.

by Alfie 09/14/2008
A million thanks to Mr. Kramer and Team! Because of you guys, my usage of my adobe after effects has never been fun and useful than before.

tannks very matsh for tutorial kramer you are the best tanks
by praful vyas 10/05/2008
Andrew ur really great. man i m jealous of ur ART THANKS
by Dennis 10/26/2008
Nice tutorial, one more thing though;

Maybe add value behind the script so you can rotate the world when your camera isn't rotating.

lookAt(thisComp.activeCamera.position,position)[0] value

And is there a way to get the light scripted?? So when you go around the world the "sun" keeps lighting the same part of the world when flying around it with a cam?

Because keyframing the light is kind of hard, its not like a simple 360 on the y-ax, its rotating on the z-ax... So someone knows something for this??

Tnx

hey i watch ur titor.very very nce.i bt i am upset thats i cant download.
by joeymaceda 01/04/2009
Actually, when your done with everything, you can add another effect to make it more 3d. Effect>Distort>Spherize. Then the center point should be in the dead middle of the earth then increase the radius until it looks more real.
-Joey
and thank you andrew for your awesome tuts
