Creating a 3D Time Warp Effect in Maya and After Effects
In this Maya and After Effects, tutorial we'll create the entire pipeline for simulating a complex 3D time warp effect. Software required: After Effects CC 2014, Mocha Pro 3, Maya 2014, PFTrack 2012.
What you'll learn
In this Maya and After Effects, tutorial we'll create the entire pipeline for simulating a complex 3D time warp effect. Topics covered include setting up the live action shoot, rotoscoping techniques using mocha in After Effects and Matchmoving in PFTrack. We'll also learn about 3D Camera Stabilization in Maya, creating our effect using custom MEL tools and compositing techniques in After Effects. By the end of this Maya and After Effects training, you'll have the knowledge to create your own 3D time warp effect for your projects. Software required: After Effects CC 2014, Mocha Pro 3, Maya 2014, PFTrack 2012.
