Magic Trackers Tracking

1 comments
Everybody's pal, Andrew Kramer, has a gift for you in the form of a free script and great tutorial for an amazing embellishment to the Mocha tracker for After Effects.  You can download the script and watch the tutorial here.  This FREE SCRIPT gives you a very powerful shortcut to a process that turns Mocha into, what is almost, a 3D tracker.  Andrew explains in his usual very detailed and occasionally funny teaching style below.

11 Shapes A-Shaping.

Ho, ho, ho!  Here is your next little Holiday gem my fellow AE enthusiast...

Making 3D shapes from scratch in After Effects can be achieved and can actually look good.  But most people avoid this tedious process or start and eventually give up.  One exception is my good friend Pete who worked for days, maybe even weeks to make a bunch of cubes that looked pretty darn good.  But, I doubt he'd be excited about repeating the process if he had to.  Well those days are gone thanks to some After Effects genius who has been kind enough to write a bunch of scripts that make creating cubes, pyramids, cylinders, spheres and more a one click process.  You can check them out and/or download them here.  You can choose how much to pay for these great scripts.  I paid $10, tried them out and then bought again for $10 because I thought they were so helpful. (Plus, the author's suggested price was $20)  Here is one of the many videos demonstrating these amazing scripts.
