ALL DESIGN TOOLS
Here is a sample of what's coming up on Video Copilot. The idea is to make your CG objects cast shadows in the real world. The first image shows a Text Layer in AE casting a shadow on the street using a transparent solid layer. The second example is a 3D object with a matte/shadow material on a floor plane. This material allows only the shadow to render on the object so you are able composite in a live action scene.

This looks like an awesome effect, and i realise that the video copilot crew are working extremely hard to get their new "Matrix" style bullet effect DVD out this month, but was just wondering if this tutorial was still on the cards to be released? I'm sure a lot of people out there are hanging on this tutorial, as i am, and it would be good to know at least if it was still planned to be released, and if so, an approximate date.

Hey Andy. Was wondering how it's possible to intergrate the same kind of effect as in the linked video with the text sinking into and out of ground.

Hey, I actually was hoping to use this very concept in a school project I'm working on, and I was looking for a way how, but I see that your going to show us. My question is when might that be? it's in one of the first shots, and I hope to learn it soon. The scene is a car turning a corner and as it turns the corner it's time remapped to slow down and it will show the 3D text of my logo on the corner. My project is a movie trailer, so I'm really looking forward to this tutorial so I can encorporate the effect. I have you listed as a major resources, and I give you many thanks in my written reports and such. Can't wait.

I've been using all kind of 3D programs and i can tell you one thing: They all can do renderpasses for compositing, and if you just want to have fun making boxes or text in a 3D envirment, then it really doesn't care what program you use! All professional 3D programs have been used in loads of movie projects. Because what comes out of the program depends only upon the creativity of the user.
that's my two cents...

That will be asome...
Another question do you know how to create the bullet trace effect like in small ville or in matrix.

Sorry to be off topic on the blog Andrew, But C4D better than Max?...... I am reminiscent of the Mac vs. Pc battles. As stated above, it doesn't matter what program you use, it matters what you do with it. Also different packages are better for somethings than others. For example, I love 3DS Max, but if you are making non-organic models (planes, buildings etc.) Lightwave has the best results I have seen. The cool thing about 3D packages is: they are all very similar, and it is very easy to transfer skills from one program to the other with a very small learning curve.

of course it is, that's why every big Fx-house uses Maya or Max.

If this is not your bag, perhaps you could suggest a site for such information.

Wow, exactly the kind of tutorial I was waiting for. I'm just getting started with 3D Studio Max and I think animating and 3D Stuff is realy frustrating. Everytime I come up with something that I like, I find a video like this:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zA44AcjueOo&feature=related
And after that I frustrated. For 3D you have to know 1000 of things. How to model, how to render, how to light your scene, how do you make cool materials, how to track a camera. It's easy to loose the fun, For example in that Video the lights look SOO real (even when the camera comes close you can see this little caustics around the lights) and the camera movement is incredible!
I would like to see a tutorial of creating a scene like this from scratch! Amazing!

You don't need to use expensive software. I rendered and composited this entirely in Blender (http://www.blender.org), which is open-source and totally free.

For the scene lighting (flicker), we had a welding torch down below frame sparking on/off. Mixed with the fog machine, it lit the scene fairly well. A lot of the color correction was adjusted in AE as well. All of those cool tips that Andrew gives away at random in a tutorial video were used throughout the project.

IN REGARDS TO CREATING 3D VINES IN BLENDER:
daveyg, the vines are very easy to do in blender. Create a new bezier curve. Then create a bezier circle. Under the Curve and Surface Tab in the BevOb field type the name of the bezier circle(by default CurveCircle) you can then add to the bezier curve and continue to shape your vine as you'd like. I can put together a tutorial when I get back from vacation on Monday if there is interest. I hope this helps.

Ok here is my rant... i am really tired of reading blogs on topics when people just keep asking for tutorials... the whole idea of a blog is to post an opinion or ask for help on creating an effect that you are working on...or at least that is my take on it...
Learning a program like after effects or 3ds takes time.. there is a great tool called the internet.. we should all know how to use it.... try searching for how to use certain effects within the program.. once you figure out how a certain effects works within a composition then creating those effects you want in your film will come a little easier... like i said instead of asking for tutorials try to create what you want and then when you are stuck try asking on some ideas on how to work thru the problem....
I think that make sense if not can some one correct me thxs

For those of you with no knowledge of any 3d program
here is a good trick and starting point. Only yesternight after installing my twitch plugin
and trying to figure out how Andrew did the twitch promo (the part where the camera reveals the text behind the vines (control the chaos) I'm on my way to mastering 3Ds max. though I have learnt a lot in maya before I haven't used the knowleadge and the most important thing is to constantly use the little that you already know esp in real projects.
1. you must have 3ds max (the beauty of 3ds max is in it's non destructivity)
2. goto videocopilot.net and follow the creation of the 3d text in max (try c4d if you have time later)
3.after this visit the making of the 3d vines
4. now combine both lessons and try and create something like the twitch plugin promo
(get your text to look like andrew's)
5. export now to AE and twitch it out
6. if you own trapcode particular add the little stars
7. For more 3ds max join 3dbuzz.com
Believe me it's a good starting point (hands on training, get the books later)

Keep up the excellent work.

Andrew,
The tutorials intergrating 3ds with AE are going to be the biggest selling point of your next tutorial DVD and I, along with many other of my friends over here in the UK, will be purchasing it as soon as you release it!
Showing us how to intergrate these two powerful applications was a real master stroke as you can probably tell - there is a real 'buzz' on your website at the moment and it is gathering momentum with each new tutorial you publish.
You deserve a damn knighthood for all your hard work!
Best wishes to you and your crew from everyone over here in Blighty.

Hey, will you be importing an RPF sequence with the Z Depth channel?
Also, will you be doing a 3DS Max camera move around the text?
I have been trying to understand how to use the extracted RPF camera information. After the extraction, everything is out of position. I think it has to do with the different coordinate systems but I have no idea how to make it work. Hopefully you can shed a little light on this.

I understand and can easily find my way around After Effects, but I want to start incorporating 3D into my projects. Thanks for your time and you are definitely an inspiration.

I've noticed you've been using 3D Max for many of your tutorials. Would that be the best CG program out on the market? Or would you recommend another CG Program?

Hi there Andrew,
can't wait for this tutorial to come out, been expecting something like this by the pro.
i wanted to contact you about something, but i don't know if your contact page links can be used for something i want to ask; as it's only for certain things.
can you help please.

A great idea for a tutorial. I already used that technique when I made some Match Moving tests with Icarus and 3ds Max. I hope your tutorial will be more advanced than just creating a shadow layer for a CG text and you will bring it to the next level.

looks nice. Is there a way to get better results in after effects?

Well, any 3d software is quite expensive and buying one... well start saving now. Unless.... you know of other ways...
Thanks Andrew
Thanks Andrew
It sucks that I'm not really that familiar with any 3D programs like Maya or Max or I'd use it like this often.
The really sad thing is, I took a one month 3D animation course in NYC a couple years ago and we learned Maya. I haven't used it since. Errrrrrrr...damn I suck

Can't wait for new tut.
It looks like a ad out in aus for some insurance company
I think we need a page dedicated to 3d stuff.

Is this going on the advanced training or is it going to be a regular web tutorial?
Thats exactly what I need! Can`t wait for this!
Thank you Andrew!
@ daveyg: I think Cinema4D is much easyer to use und to learn. Im sure you can make the same stuff in all 3 Apps. But 3DS Max is more popular in the USA, in europe people uses Cinema4D much more than in the States. I think the price is okay for it but with Andrews great max Tutorials coming up i think its time for me to get a trial version of max and play around with that.
Thank you Andrew!

hey guys im not into 3d but would like to be able to do basic things like the vine and shadows. but i am confused on a few things
1. which program is easier and better to use. 4d, max, or maya
2. which ever i choose to purchase which is a good bundle to get. design, non design, etc. there are a few different options for each and i just couldnt get my head around it.
3. lastly, i am a non profit church and where would be the cheapest i could get it from. even an older version that would give me the capabilities to do what i explained.

This is going to be really cool!! "It will be better than any Tutorial before" ^^
Are you going to show us 3D-Motion Tracking (with a third programm and importing the data in 3DS Max) and doing the perfect lightning?
I think this 2 parts are the hardest in a project like this

Wow, seems like a cool tut coming. thnx. in advance.
Andrew, I always use the standard renderer but never get a good result on Lighting.
Light goes unrealistic and makes the total scene unrealistic.
Any TIP can be very useful.
Thnx n keep rockin

hehe...Thanx for the Reply Andrew! :]
...Go To Sleep! :] lol :]
Well...i just gotta say one more thing to you.
I REALLY Appreciate Everything you do here....
I gotta just say, that tutorials like that are So much more useful to people like me, and to more, because i cant tell you how many times i wanted to incorporate some of your tutorials, but i just didnt have the chance. I mean...its not that like, every day you have an action film to edit, or a science fiction of some sort to do.
Therefore, the more casual tutorials....i think thats what im looking for, and i believe alot of people think like me, and would like to see that.
So...just see this as a suggestion...u know. :]
Anyways.. in the end....it aint matter, cause whatever you do turns out Great, and its so much fun to try out..... :]
So... Thanks again for this upcoming tutorial!
We all really appreciate it! :]

This was done with the standard 3D max renderer. I think almost everything can be achieved in Max without VRAY but it is nice to have when you're not doing tutorials
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gosh! Ive been waiting for something like this for a LONG TIME, Andrew!
This looks so professional, and i REALLY Dig your latest Style with integrating 3Ds Max work!! its more challanging, and fun!
Guess youre gonna go through motion tracking, compositing using Alpha Matte, and Rendering.
Good rendering is needed. and its critical. i hope Vray is not a must in order to render in a convincing way. maybe its just a matter of finding the right material?
Anyways...THANK U!
CANT WAIT! :]

SICK! can't wait, and I'm with Mike school, and just haven't gotten around to compositing and stuff like that but Andrew you have inspired me.
This is great. I can't wait for this tutorial. This is something I've thought about figuring out but haven't tried yet. Too busy with stupid things like school.
