3D Cube in After Effects
Every time a try to create a 3D Cube in AE my Photoshop layers don’t all fit together. As I rotate the cube (using a parental Null Object) there are always edges hanging over (even though I thought I had 6 perfectly square shapes).
Is there an easy way to put a cube together??
Tnx Ian.

When making your cube, make sure your layers are using square pixels, it makes things a lot easier. Also, make sure you are using the Advanced 3d Renderer. If you want a quick and easy way to make a cube by adding some expressions, check out this post. Just make sure the layers that yuo are gogin to make itno your box arent scaled, adna re the top layers in your comp.

You’re using a parental null? Cool, brave, advanced. Now, just try to follow the other advice and use square pixels (drives me nuts, I never get them all sqaure, either).

Digital Anarchy’s 3d Assistant package is expensive but, if you don’t have Boris’s perspective cube, and you’re doing cubular stuff often, DA’s tool will make your life much easier.

… and use math, say with 800×800 layers with centers at 400. That sort of thing. Then you’ll know where everything is.
And try using the “alpha add” mode for the layers.
