It Works Like This


Check out the Ch3_Finished_Movie.mov file in this chapter's folder on the book's DVD. This project uses solids to create dynamic backgrounds and eye-catching 3D animations, and to position and frame product shots. As in the first two chapters, the project depends on modular components to help speed up production. Even better, we provide you with rendered movies for some of the components. The main aspects of this project are as follows:

  1. Using solids to create an animated pattern.

  2. Using solids to matte pictures of different sizes.

  3. Animating 3D solids to create a falling dominoes effect.

  4. Animating a nested comp to create a swinging garage-door effect.
