3D is the new in vogue buzzword for film & television. Avatar and Alice in Wonderland have helped bring this old technique back into fashion. So can you use Apple's Motion and Final Cut Pro to make true 3D graphics? We find out with a bit of an experiment, get your red & blue glasses out!!
You must click ontheYouTube page to enable the 3D playback & viewing options.
So everybody says you can't retime emitters without having to apply a drag behavior or export and reimport the emitter. Not so! Take a look at this tutorial which describes how to retime any particle emitter within Motion. Slow down, pause, speed up, reverse or loop a particle emitter within Motion the easy way - Clone & set speed.
When Motion3 was released and after the initial excitement had died down, it became obvious that there were a few features that hadnt made the release. One of the first to be highlighted by the many forum posts was the lack of 3D text. In this short tutorial, Im going to give you some help in building 3D text in Motion. Yes it can be done, there are some limitations but hopefully this will get your text looking less flat and more 3D.
