3D PARTICLE LOGO Animation with NO PLUGINS | Easy After Effects Tutorial

In this After Effects 2023 Tutorial I'm gonna show you how to create a 3D Particle Logo Animation.

This fake 3D technique works basically like Maxon's Trapcode Form. But we're going to use native Effects.

No Plugins!

Instead we're going to use the Card Dance Effect making the tiles always orient towards the camera.

The Animation is inspired by the intro animation of Apple's Far Out Event.

0:00 Intro 3D Particle Logo
0:44 Create a Particle Grid with CC Ball Action & Card Dance Effect
2:20 Create a Logo Map Layer for the Card Dance Effect
5:55 3D Camera Animation in Card Dance Effect
6:56 Create a Depth Map Layer for the Card Dance Effect
10:00 Create a 3D Particle Field of Stars
10:57 Outro

Enjoy watching!

Great tutorial, to be honest I've never heard about car dance effects. I've added Matte choker to big particles to get mor blurry particles.

I am facing a problem, but before that, Hi, this method is awesome, but i had to watch the video mutiple times to get it, but now my spheres are cut in half. When i align it with the outlines of the logo. What to do?

Hello.
I need some information.
If I have an object (a text for example) that is already in time line that is smaller than the composition, how I transform the composition to the same extent of the object. I had seen a way to do it automatically but not by numerically changing the "composition settings".
A similar thing to when from the time line shortens the time duration of the composition...
I hope you can help me remember...
Thank you.

[huseyinsanverdi]

you are explaining too fast it is not understood and you should add it in Turkish translation
