  • Creating A Glass Like Material Surface in AE 6.5

    Try not to laugh too hard at my neophyte question but how do I go about creating a simple glass surface? I want to create a simple glass floor (I’m creating a scene where letters will be hovering over a glass floor the hovering letters will create shadows and the glass like floor will be reflecting light. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    If you’re not too concerned about seeing through the “glass floor” then you can easily create the reflection by mirroring the object, soften it with a little blur, reduce its opacity, and give it a little perspective (Basic3D) effect.
