In this tutorial, we will explore many of the 3D features available in Adobe After Effects.

We will start by taking 2D layers and converting them to 3D, which unlocks new attributes and adjustable properties. We'll create lights and shadows in our 3D world and we'll go over how we can create a 3D camera and manipulate it manually or by creating rigs that control movement and focus. We'll finish by learning about the Ray-traced 3D renderer and the features that you can utilize using ray-traced such as shape layer and text extrusion, bending footage, reflection and transparency.

This training will touch on the basics for working with 3D space in After Effects so you can take these principals and apply them in your own projects.
