  • How to Imitate Rotate object in 3d space

    Posted by Faisal Maniar on March 20, 2021 at 1:19 pm

    Hello cows,

    I was doing my usual exploration of techniques and inspiration. I came across this sequence of mobile phone rotating around and then getting in the hand of the person.

    The animation happens at 14 seconds in this video –> https://youtu.be/IlIwPt6dIm0?t=14

    I am curious, how to create that sequence of rotation so I can see all the parts of the phone as it turns around. I believe it’s not 3d, it is just imitating 3d space. Am I right?

    Someone, please guide me on how to achieve this.

    That looks like a simple 3D object built within AE using Cinema 4D renderer. Make a cell phone shaped rectangle with rounded corners, extrude the path and then do the same to buttons. then add color. This one seems like they aren’t using lights to give that flat effect. For stuff like this, I work in normal 3D renderer with a flat piece to get the movement correct, and then. switch to 4D renderer to make the object and then past the movement to that new object. There are lots of tutorials out there about creating simple 3D objects in AE. Good luck.
