NEW TUTORIAL: 3D Set Extensions

Posted by on Jun 21, 2011 in Blog | 8 comments

In this exciting and detailed tutorial we will transform ordinary stock footage into an evil landscape with 3D fog and mountains.  We will cover 3D match moving inside of After Effects using the new Camera Tracker plug-in as well as Particular to create the soft clouds.  I know it has been a while since I’ve done a tutorial so I tried to make this one as detailed as possible including many gritty details.

I do my best not to use 3rd party tools as much as possible as you probably know from watching the last 100 tutorials but for this tutorial we needed to generate a 3D camera for the clouds so I used the most inexpensive full featured 3D tracking software around called Camera Tracker.  As we get into some more advanced tutorials over the next couple of months we may have to use one or two third party tools but I’ll do my best to keep it to a minimum and only when absolutely necessary! Until then.

    Artbeats. I think they’re a bit pricey, especially if all you want is footage for a tutorial. I also go to revostock and pond5.
