The Last Two Weeks on AEtuts+

The last couple of week have been loaded with some amazing content!  I had a roundup or two, one of which features a ton of VFX breakdowns, and there were some amazing tutorials like, Understanding Linear Work flow, and the Club Tuts AE Plus tutorial!  As it gets closer to Christmas, expect a ton more awesome stuff from the contributors over at AEtuts+, and some amazing roundups (if I do say so myself).

Every couple weeks we will showcase the tutorials from the past weeks so you can brush up and hone your After Effects skills to learn some new tricks and broaden your horizons when it comes to our favorite application.

So, one of my favorite things to watch on the internet are VFX Breakdowns.  Being able to see the steps that were taken to create that amazing matte painting, a complex roto shot, or a full CG environment.  These breakdowns give us a little glimpse of what the big studios as well as freelancers go through to get their shots to look perfect

Drop Some 3D Into AE Days 1 & 2

Eventually you are going to run into a situation where you are going to need to integrate some 3d elements into your After Effects work flow, whether it is created by you or not.  Knowing how to do this, and the correct work flow is essential to becoming a well versed mograph and AE artist.  This isn’t really an advanced tutorial, or a beginner tutorial, but more of a beginner’s look at integrating 3d and AE.
