We're going to look in this movie on the Perspective Effects and this is what we're going to be
covering in this chapter here, I'll just be going to give you a rundown of
each effect that we'll be covering. All these effects just generally add to our
sense of three dimensions and basically since we have actual lateral free dimension
here in after effects. A lot of these effects are effects you probably
turn to everyday. For example, like Drop Shadow, Basic 3D, all
these things can be accomplished in other ways with real 3D environments.
However, they are easier with just effects. I was just looking to spin something in 3D
space, maybe just tossing the basic 3D basic effect
on there, might be a better choice for you. So here's what we're going to talk about,
we're going to be looking at the 3D Glasses effect and the whole point
of this effect is that you can get these 3D glasses that have red over one eye and blue
over the other eye and looks at stereoscopic image and see kind
of like a 3D picture. Now, there is also the Basic 3D Effect and
basically we have a Solid with a grid effect applied, and so,
we come here to Basic 3D and to Swivel to which actually make a 3D environments.
There is also the Bevel Alpha Effect which basically is kind of like a little mini Bevel
and Emboss just a little quicker, little easier to use and some simple depth
there. Same thing with Bevel Edges, makes these chiseled
edges and there is also the good old drop shadow which gives you some depth here
and makes elements pop out from each other and then also we have the Radial Shadow Effect,
which allows you to have semi transparent and color shadows and allows you play with
the light source and where the lights coming from in really
interesting ways. So all these effects we're going to be looking
at in this chapter on the Prospective Effects.
