The thing about the animated 3D letters that I'll be showing you how to create in this class, is that they’re not actually 3D. There is a way to make text that is extruded in 3D space right in After Effects, but that's NOT what I'll be teaching you in this class. There's a time and a place for "real 3D text" that utilizes the 3D renderer–think sports logo style. The look I was going for in this class is more of a hand lettered look, so the "real" 3D extrusion technique was not the answer. Instead, by making letters with 2D layers and making them just look 3D, we gain a ton of flexibility to create a more handmade, illustrated feel.

Amazing classes, like all of Megan's classes. Easy to follow, she goes through every step with you. This class goes though tones of 3d effects so there is so much to learn, which is amazing!
