Joshua Jorgensen demonstrates a technique for automating a bit of the process for creating animated pie charts using Lightwave 3D and After Effects.

In the first part of this two day tutorial tutorial, Joshua Jorgensen will take us through the process of creating a motion graphics style effect to animate a pie chart scene. Using a combination of keyframing and expressions in Lightwave 3D, we’ll build a flexible semi-automated system to create an impressive effect out of what would normally be a boring statistic!
