The Cube

DNA

This project allows you to build cubic reflection maps (or generally a unfolded cube cross map) such as it could be useful for a number of 3D-ish effects like Shapeshifter or FreeForm Pro. The package contains two projects: One that contains a rigged "live" version, another for offline baking of maps if you don’t have any of these plug-ins and want to use the maps in conjunction with other tools. Within each project, there are two methods to produce the maps. One takes any normal footage and slices it up to produce a cube and retain unwarped projections while at the same time doing some dilation/expansion at the top and bottom to produce a ceiling and floor, the other method uses skybox images such as you can create them in 3D programs or by photographing multiple views from a tripod. Alignment of the maps can be controlled with some expressions as well.

Spinning Cube v2

Spinning Cube

A slightly reworked version of my old spinning cube countdown. If you want to go fancy, add more animation to the cube so it shakes or jumps in addition to the rotation. Animate within the template cycle, then use the loopOut() expression to repeat it.

3D Primitives

3D Primitives

This pack contains four 3D primitives made up of native After Effects 3D layers, parametrically adjustable via linked expressions. These items can be used in other projects with 3D properties intact by using the Collapse Transformations switch on the nested compositions. Contains a cube, a cube with beveled/ chamfered edges, a 3-sided pyramid, a 4-sided pyramid and a cylinder.

Infinity Rift

Infinity Rift

That’s actually a rather simplistic setup, but produces a nice background effect. A rift spits out an endless stream of cubes thanks to Trapcode Particular and Shine.

Spinning Things

Spinning Things

Inspired way back then by a project in Digital Anarchy’s Chaos Stock, I re-created some pieces for the learning experience and expanded it later by including my beveled cube from my “3D objects” set. As an alternative, a variation with electrons spinning around an atom core is included. Revisited and cleaned up in After Effects 7 to cater for enhanced options with 32bpc effects and layer blending.
