Final Product What You'll Be Creating

In this step by step tutorial, you will learn how to take various elements from 3D into After Effects, using the Max2AE plug-in. These elements will include camera animation and helper objects, to use as particle emitters. You will use color adjustments to add realism to the 3D jet element. You will learn how to create contrail and exhaust particles using Trapcode Particular. You will also learn how to create 3D cloud layers in After Effects, to give a realistic flight movement. And you will learn how to add camera shake animation, to help sell the chase-plane look and feel…

    There’s a problem with the video in the Premium area, it will be fixed shortly. Sorry for any inconvenience.

  • Mr. Obvious

    Now THAT’S a premium tut! :) Great job, doing more like it would make me consider buying the premium membership…

    • Osvaldo_Tampico

      Totally agreed!!! I’m already considering to buy it just for this tut! (regardless that fancy almost uncomprensible english voice XD) Great work!

  • frankyframe

  • http://none Bruno

    Just became Premium member because of this tut.

    Great tutorial.

    I was able to follow it really nice, even though the video quality is really bad.

    Please, make better quality videos next time, HD would be great.

    Another thing, I can´t download the tutorial to my pc so I can watch it better and not have to stream.

    cheers,
