Zinc Atom Animation

[Raghav91]

after effects 7 or CS3?

I used CS3, but you can use as far back as 6 (Trapcode Particular isn't compatible with earlier versions, and anything before 5 doesn't have 3D).

oh..k. 7 doesn't have 3D right?

[AJR3]

7 comes after 5, 3D was added in 5, so 7 has 3D.

ok thanks. btw when you say 3D do you mean we can make 3D Models and create animations?

[AJR3]

After effects has the 3D space and cameras that you can use (the 3D Switch you for layers). Basically it just has a z-space (x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis) which lets you angle things and move them back and forward. In this video, the text that says "Zinc" is rotating around in 3D space.

[Raghav91]

ok. but you cant create 3D models right?

[ivanchoiii]

NO you CAN'T make 3d models or open and edit them in after effect. But you can open and edit 3d rendered animation  (Sorry for the bad english)
