COW Tutorials: After Effects Creating 3D Ribbon Text

[D Langley]

sam.mltn, sorry you lost sleep over it, but I’m glad it was you found it exciting enough to give up a nights rest.

Just got it now. Everything seems to work, exept for that color-expression i mentioned earlier. still don’t know the germen counterpart.

And I have one big other problem.
It’ in the part: Duplicating Comps

I duplicated my comps, fixed the expressions as the tutorial told me, but if i have all comps together, they still are on the same place, so the time-shift stuff doesn’t seem to work right.

I have no idea. Maybe also a translation-problem? didn’t translate anything here, though

Did you adjust the Comp_Spacing slider?

hi there,
I got stuck there as well. try this
comp(“Guide_A”).layer(“Controls”).effect(“Color”)(“Farbe”)

Awesome Tutorial anyway! Thank you loads!

[Bausdtown]

Can’t remember. I’ll check it…

btw: got the color-thing:
comp(“Guide_A”).layer(“Controls”).effect(“Color”)(“Farbe”)

the coolest Tutorial for AE I’ve seen. ever.

One note, I was getting some errors copy/pasting some expressions (On a PC running AE7) turns out the quotation marks: ” needed to be retyped, and that fixed the error. Don’t know why.

GREAT stuff!

Smart quotes used on the original? I don’t know … 🙂

[D Langley] “BausDTown – Unfortunately, I can’t help translate. Hopefully someone will be able to help; possibly Mylenium? If there is anything else I can help with let me know.

Thanks”

Yeah, sorry, completely missed it. AE will use localized versions of plugin names, so you either have to (temporarily) strip all *.German files (move them outside your AE directory) or force AE to use English language by using aa command line option (AfterFX.exe -en) in AE 7. Anyway, I see that the issues have been sorted out, so this advice may come a little late. ;o).

I’m going to try and combine the ideas from this and Daves more indepth project to see if I can come up yet another way of doing the same things. that is what i like about this forum.. it is an endless source of great ideas
