      These videos are hosted on YouTube. :)

        Well youtube videos play on most mobile devices, maybe a setting is required in the embedding of these videos, as at the moment they require flash.

    Ya know, I originally posted a comment about wanting a download link to the reference images. I didn’t take the time to actually look on the page and see that they were provided for me. Man, I feel dumb. Thank you, Stefan.

    very amazing tutorial…thx a lot :)

  • Dwain

    Hey stefan… excellent work… one quick question? what’s the best composition size to create these elements… or what are the composition sizes in these tuts… thanks

      It doesnt really matter since all is vector based and you can resize it however you want. This tutorial I think uses the size of 2500×2500 px for the compositions.

  • marcus

    it would have been good to add that background in the tutorial..what were the basic element set ups??

  • Desiree

    Excellent, Stefan! This is very helpful, and the high resolution video makes it easy to follow in full-screen mode.

    Great tutorial

    Super interesting way of doing these shapes in AE – most of the way through I was thinking “I would just make these in Illustrator and it’d be 10x faster” but now getting good at this will probably speed stuff up.

    And I’m almost having more fun trying to duplicate the effects/motion/lighting you had in the demo video :D

    Hi, in the second video, you don’t manage to make the numbers implementation automatic (at 18minutes). I found a solution based on expression and javascript that make that automatic implementation.

    Here is the code to type in the Text Source expression :

    var a =”0″;
    var b =transform.rotation/5;
    if(b<10){
    value="0"+b
    }
    else{
    value=b
    }

    I explain the code :

    Firstly, to implement correctly numbers transform.rotation has to be divide by 5 (and note transform.rotation-8 or other). This way, 10° become 2, 20° become 4, etc…

    But the probleme is that the text displayed is ” 2 4 6 8 10 12 ….” instead of displaying “02 04 06 08 10″

    So I define variable in the code : a is a “0″ to add to digit under 10, and b is the implementation of number.

    Then I code a condition structure to add my “0″ only on digit smaller than 10. My condition is “if the digit (the b variable) is under 10, then the value of my text source is 0 and the digit (02/04/06/08), else my value is only the digit.

    Hope it will be helpfull and sorry for my approximate english, but it’s hard to explain and find the right words :)

    very much enjoyed your tuts and the expression tip is really useful. Thanks!!

    Stephan – I downloaded the reference files, started working through the tutorial, only to find that the download files are different from what you show in the tutorial. There are 18 jpg files in the download, but part one of your tutorial only shows you working with 5 jpeg files. The first file you use (00.jpg) is “02.jpg” in the downloads. The second file you use in the tutorial (01.jpg) isn’t included as part of the downloaded files. Can you re-post the correct files, as I’d really like to work through this tutorial.
