What you'll learn

In this course, we will create 3D experiences directly in After Effects. We'll learn how to make stereoscopic 3D imagery and gain a deeper understanding of the mathematics of stereo imagery, tips for creating safer stereo renders, and building After Effects camera rigs to create one of the most powerful effects in cinema. This course contains nearly three hours of project-driven training and step-by-step examples for any artist using After Effects. Popular highlights include a stereoscopy overview, the rules of safe stereo, anaglyph filtering, stereo 3D workflow, After Effects camera rigs, 3D objects in After Effects, mathematics of stereo imagery, creating interactive guides to help visualize, color-correcting stereo imagery, compositing stereo pair renders from Maya, expressions, controlling zero parallax, interaxial separation, creating a camera dolly system, animating cameras with the dolly system, Photoshop 3D layers, 3D assets with Photoshop, assembling multiple compositions with expressions, zero parallax controls in 3D scenes, interaxial separation controls, avoiding keystoning and other stereo distortions, creating a stereo camera rig for Photoshop 3D objects. Software required: After Effects 7 and up.
