      Sorry, didn’t think about it.

      Here it is:

      position+[0,0,(index-2)*thisComp.layer("3D Control").effect("3D Control")("Slider")]

    Hello! Thank you for the clear tutorial. Hope to see more tutorials from you Sir Daniel.

  • KIRA DESS

    Great Tut Sir Daniel , Thank you very much .

    I’ve a question if you don’t bother , about the BG Layer at the end of your tutorial , I didn’t understand how it affects in all the com – even the floor – while it’s beneath the floor ??

    +

    what was that at the end of tut , when you want to preview – final – ” Laze and wizz or something “!!

    I’m really exciting about your next tutorial .

      Hey, happy you like tutorial :)
      The background “affects” the whole comp because the floor is invisible and the only thing you see besides the text and it’s shadow is the background.

      As for the Ease and Wizz, it is a script from AEScripts.com

      Take a look:

      My next tutorial will be up soon :) Expect for more ;)

    hey sorry I was wondering where you got your optical flare effect from. I only have the lens flare and have no clue where that window is that you pulled it from? Also as soon as I turn my Floor layer to 3D i loose my blending options drop down in my mode window? Any ideas on why this happeneds?

      On 2:28 I was using CC Repetile, it is an effect which comes with After Effects.

    yeah, the Floor as a 3D layer, disables the option for blending modes… what’s up?

    Hello Daniel, thanks for the tutorial.
    Just a question, I can’t access the material options on the 3D Logo pre-comp.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks,
