Andrew, I know a lot of people can be inpatient, but me and others understand that things come up. Also I understand the fact that you have to make a living and pay bills. So I'll just keep watching all your others tutorials that were given to us all for FREE, and keep practicing with all the plugins you have given us for FREE
In the meantime, take it easy, rest, make your money that's required to pay the bills, and spend time with your beautiful family. If you never make another tutorial again, so what. Because what you have given us once again ...for FREE, is enough for me and many others that appreciate every single second you have put already in teaching us what you have.
Thank you and enjoy YOUR time.

We really miss you Andrew....but please don't become yet another lame Youtube click bait chaser.
Apologies if I sound harsh about you giving away free stuff which is genuinely appreciated.....
......but how long do 'last minute refinements' take.
I liked this place FAR BETTER when tutorials just appeared rather than the cock tease.
Hopefully VC doesn't take the Hollywood route and start making teasers for trailers.....or have i spoken too soon?

There's no sense in setting ridiciulous deadlines, is it? 
Feel the pressure?
Thanks anyway für these great tutorials and keeping this thing running!

It's that deadline issue again Andrew. Why not release tutorials without one. It's a lot less stress for you and expectation from everyone waiting...
...after all, don't we all love a surprise?

Well we can't really expect Andrew to deliver stuffs on time. But I do believe that he's doing his best and the result will not be disappointing. Respect!

Totally agree with you AJ. He's putting a lot effort into his tutorials. Waiting for it, is not an effort...

He is very very focused on his presentation style and quality. That means countless re-takes, then cutting. It takes a long time to cut on breaths and in-between words. He wouldn't have the sound or continuity ever come out lacking, if it was merely to meet a deadline. One does not sacrifice ones standards for clock-based things...lol

Man...if you decided not to post anything and that we'd not hear from you again until 2019, ma... it would be so evil that you'd become even cooler than what you already are. Your reputation of unpredictable creative genius would sky rocket. So Andrew, if I were you, I'd consider this before posting a new tut. You already are famous but think about what you could be.
And before those you Chapters, we should watch something like
"The Beginning of the Impossible Deadline:
Chapter 0"
"The Prelude" (interview)
"The original idea" (videoblog)
"Halloweeen 2018" (blog post)
"Christmas 2019" (family photo on Tweeter)
"Intercept 2"

Great blog. Very informative and useful tutorial especially the interactive bevel shading. Thanks for posting such a helpful blog. It really helped me a lot in my work. Keep blogging.
Just excited and waiting for the tutorials and tried to decode this effect before u release your tutorial

I figured this out a little bit if anyone is bored and wants to play around in AE.
Type a text layer, make it black. go to Layer > layer style > Inner glow. Make it white, and set it to "precise" (rather than soft). Now you ave a displacement map. Increase the size of the glow until there is not pure white bits, it should still have obvious gradient black on edges and lighter on the inside. Then precomp this text layer. now adda solid, use set matte effect and set to the text layer. Now apply cc glass, and use text pre comp as the source. Play with the height settings and change lights to "AE lights". Add a few lights around. Play with the shading settings like specular and turn down metal. You should start to get the 3d text effect. You can go back into the text precomp and layer some noise or textures onto the bump map, make sure the white center and the dark edges are still obvious otherwise it will lose the 3d effect. have a crack.

I may have to borrow that graphic! That's a really eloquent way of telling folks you are on it.
Love that feeling though, when you have the finish line in front of you and you know exactly what you want to do and just get to be "in the zone."
