Making Real 3D Objects
Posted by rickjanusz in After Effects Tutorials, Featured Tutorials on May 7th, 2008 | 5 responses

In this free video tutorial we’ll show you how to make real 3D objects in After Effects. This same technique can be used to make 3D text, 3D flybys and the like. We’ll use the shatter effect that ships with After Effects to make this happen.

    You should be able to just use the rotation of the null object that controls the spin, rotation y should do it.

    The y rotation does work but it still shatters. So unless the plan is to shatter a logo every time the 3D object is not much use.
