  • Fake 3D Pie Chart

    Posted by May Radomir on September 14, 2011 at 4:43 pm

    Hello,
    I need to make a fake 3d pie chart using only AE.
    it needs to be able to go from top view of the pie chart to a 3/4 view, or something of the sort.

    I thought of using CC Cylinder but since it’s hollow, I don’t know how to “close” it.
    I tried using a circle but I don’t know how to make the circle rotate according to the cc cylinder.

    any ideas how to make it work?

    While I am sure there are many ways to create a pie chart… In Illustrator or Photoshop (or even Powerpoint) and bring them into AE… I spent a few minutes just using regular AE plugins (not trapcode or BCC, for example).

    Attached is a 3D version of a pie chart. This can be animated.
    Take a look at the layers and adjust one setting at a time to see the changes.

    While this may not be your answer, but it might be able to guide you into a solution that will work for you.
