Just found out that using only the 2D coordinates of a mask with fromCompToSurface() gives you a perfectly working effector for a 3D plane in After Effects.

Imagine choose a seat on the airplane after seeing this 3D simulation instead of that boring 2D free/occupied view. You can just make a startup using threejs and a good idea nowadays.

A view from a plane... What is happening! Are we living in a parallel universe? How is it possible for anyone to look out of a plane window at 38k feet and see this, above the cloud cover, and just go with the propaganda narrative that it's only condensation?

3D $ANIME ? Using 3D in anime or a complete series in 3D style, how does this affect the anime industry? Probably the most hated anime after which people hated 3D in anime was Berserk in 2016, it was really terrible, but 3D in anime is no longer what it was in 2010-20. Let's look at the pros and cons of 3D in anime and what series can be called good 3D anime Pros of 3D Animation: 🟢Dynamic camera angles & smooth motion 🟢Saves time & production costs 🟢Consistent character proportions Cons of 3D Animation: 🔴Can look stiff or "plastic" 🔴Limited facial expressions 🔴Often disliked by traditional anime fans Top 3D $ANIME series in my opinion: 🔵Houseki no Kuni – stunning visuals & fluid animation 🔵Dorohedoro – dark, gritty style perfectly fits CGI 🔵Beastars – expressive character animation 🔵Trigun: Stampede – cinematic action & high-quality CGI The best studio that combines 2D and 3D well is, I think, Ufotable Ufotable blends 2D & 3D seamlessly: 🟡3D backgrounds + 2D character animation 🟡Anime-style shading makes 3D look hand-drawn 🟡Frame-by-frame touch-ups for smooth motion 🟡Mixing 2D effects (fire, water) with 3D for impact Example: "Demon Slayer" – epic battle scenes like Tanjiro’s Water Breathing, using 3D camera movement while preserving 2D aesthetics. Which 3D $ANIME impressed you the most?

I'm still playing with 3D storyboards for Seedance 2.0. Even when I ask for a 2D video, using a 3D storyboard often pushes the model toward a 3D look. I haven't tested it extensively yet but there definitely seems to be a bias. So 2D storyboards work better for 2D videos, while 3D storyboards are better suited for 3D or photorealistic outputs. Another thing I found is that my video prompt is already very detailed. If I remove the storyboard section and generate the video without attaching a storyboard, the model still follows the same beats. The main difference is the environment. With a storyboard, it tends to recreate an environment that closely matches the storyboard. I also think storyboards help with certain poses and compositions. If you're curious about the prompts, I've included them below.

From the Rush Center for Congenital and Structural Heart Disease we present a 49 Y/O M with a large secundum ASD discovered after a stroke. Closed using a 44 mm Gore Cardioform ASD occluder guided by 4D ICE using NUVISION Catheter with bi-plane and 3D.

Cavalry is f*cking dope. Video creators that learn how to implement this into their After Effects workflow are going to make insane amounts of money. Cavalry for: • Text animations • Effector Animations After Effects for: • Everything else. The time to lock in is now.

A quick test of using 3d drawing with 6DOF controllers as an "instructor" for a generative AI process. There's so many powerful and fun new ways to create just around the corner.. Here I'm using Dreams, Krea and 3daistudio. The 3d model at the end of the video was generated from the Dreams+Krea output in just around 15 seconds. Only the model on the left is a "true" 3d model. #ai #madeindreams

was working on a small thingy of my own but i really don't think i'd make anything of it, especially anytime soon. it's like an open world game, played in both 2d and 3d, where you can switch from 2d people to 3d people and help each other out

While working on our upcoming YouTube video, we ended up using Remotion a lot. So much that it probably deserves its own video. A bunch of the B-roll was made by animating quick Figma designs with code, without opening After Effects at all. Just Figma → Codex → Video.

The 2D flame was only ever a placeholder, and can finally be replaced by a truly 3D effect that looks better from ALL angles! This also opens the door to more effects being fine-tuned to each purpose... 🔥

Getting a bunch of questions about this! It's a full gpu rendering pipeline with built in shader editor for Rive, which can interleave 2D + 3D. Think WebGPU (minus compute, for now) that runs anywhere, not just the browser. You can implement anything at all. Cell shading. Background blurs. Deformation effects. And yes, even Rive vector components as textures. Shaders are precompiled and ship with your .riv. Minimal runtime size impact. Still WIP.

YOU CAN NOW REMASTER ANY 2D GAME INTO A 3D WORLD Pokémon Ruby defined a generation of top-down handheld gaming. 2D is fast and solo-friendly: tiles, sprites, simple animations. 3D has always been brutal modeling, rigging, lighting, LODs, and months of specialized work that kills most small teams. Mint shatters that One screenshot → instant coherent 3D worlds No more waiting for studios to invest a 2D game becomes 3D today.
