The most common way to present a model, to a client, supervisor or on a demo-reel, is to create a turntable animation. This tutorial demonstrates a simple, yet effective, solution for creating dynamic turntables. Chapter three demonstrates how to render the wireframe/topology of the model on top of the shaded turntable animation. When presenting work, especially on a reel, viewers will expect to see not just the finished result, but also how it was achieved. Clean, efficient and animation friendly topology is critical, therefore presenting that aspect of your work is expected. In this lecture we look at a variety of wireframe styles and composite them in After Effects.

Imagine a world where the globe is covered in binary code, where digital data coats the walls, and where molecular models spin or vortices suck you in. You've got all that and more in this collection of cyber-tech, seamless backgrounds. Bright lights, deep colors, and artful imagery combine for a collection full of visual impact. Collection contains 23 clips.
Give video a cartoon look. Just released! An easy way to give video footage that sought-after cartoon look. ToonIt! uses advanced algorithms to process your image and create cartoon shading and lines.
Fine 'toon'ing is easy! ToonIt! plugins free you from time consuming techniques like rotoscoping and hand painting. ToonIt! analyses an image, then reduces its color palette and detects where the important edges are. The edges are used to shape and control areas of color. ToonIt!'s edges can be rendered to produce a pen & ink look. Use ‘edges only’ options to create a realistic line drawing. Combine different styles and outlines to create even more variation. Voila: you've been toon'ed.

What it does Lensfeed shows a camera's live preview inside After Effects. No still frames but a moving live feed! Lensfeed is implemented as regular After Effects filters so the livefeed is displayed inside compositions and can can be treated like regular footage.
What it is good for This tool comes in handy to optimize shots for compositions. Especially to adjust green- or bluescreen scenes to existing footage. Using Lensfeed you can match perspective and lighting to achieve beliefable setups. And since all the effects can be applied to the live footage it's possible to optimize it for the keying tools used. This helps creating higher quality footage and in reducing the work on the actual composition later.
How it works After Effects was not made with moving live footage in mind. So implementing it was a bit tricky. Lensfeed consists of effect plugins that render the current image from the camera to the composition and a general After Effects plugin that makes it animate. This second plugin unfortunately only works in After Effects. So in other hosts there will only be single non animated frames. Possibly there will be solutions for those in the future.
