By February 9, 2012No Comments

VinhSon Nguyen shows how to use ShapeShifter AE to create a 3D transforming text animation in After Effects. Check out the post for the Using ShapeShifter for After Effects to Transform 3D Text tutorial here.

VinhSon Nguyen writes: In this tutorial, we will be taking a look at how to build this 3D transforming text animation using Mettle’s ShapeShifter AE plug-in. We will also be enhancing some of the elements using 3rd party plug-ins such as Trapcode Shine (CC Light Burst alternative), Frischluft’s Out of Focus (Lens Blur alternative), and RE:Vision RSMB (CC Force Motion Blur alternative).
We will first take a look at how to setup the base animation, work with lights and setup a simple camera rig, then finish it off with some minor enhancements and color correction.
