Final Product What You'll Be Creating
In Part 3 of this series, we’ll be learning how the Adobe Javascript Editor works and how to write a script that can be executed in After Effects. You will learn how to debug scripts and end up with just a few lines of code that will generate a cube that consists of 1.000 solids, a parent null object, a light and a camera.

I live in Berlin, where I studied Biology but then discovered that CGs are fun. The two programs I use the most are Blender and After Effects and now I am quite eager share my knowledge with the world.

Did I miss the previous 2 days? Part 1 of day 3?
It’s a 5 part series… sorry if the title is misleading.
Max, link to first in the description.
btw, thx for tut.
very useful and simple in describing.
Yea! this is the good stuff, there is a supprizing lack of scripting training for After Effects.
Love it!
At last … what’s tigers most like… good tut with good explanation … yummy
That’s a personnal opinion but i think that writting tutorials are really easier to follow than video if they speak about code.
We don’t have to see each steps of you writtings glyphes to understand the process :)
and it is hard to “talk and type” as you said :P
nice tuts anyway.
Thanks !
nice work.
hmm..where can i find the whole series?
After searching for a while I found the other two parts. Here the links so far:

Hi Frederik,
actually there is something missing: As I wrote above, there is day 1 and day 2 for expressions. But no day three. I searched thoroughly. And in this part you continue from a point that must be in some “day 3″ video, because day 2 does not cover modulo etc.
Please clarify and give the link to the missing tutorial.
Regards,
Andreas
Hi Andreas,
Thanks for the links.

As Andreas said, there seems to be something missing. At the end of Part 2 the audio bars is mentioned to happen in the next part (which would be part 3). And now part 3 is starting saying “back to what we did with the audio bars”, which was never actually gone over.
Sorry if that seems confusing – the point is Part 3 should probably be Part 4, and what really is Part 3 is probably missing.
