Free After Effects Project: 3D Stroke Logo Intro (SonduckFilm)
Original title: Cinematic 3D Stroke Logo Intro in After Effects | Tutorial
Overview
SonduckFilm's free After Effects project accompanies the tutorial on a cinematic 3D stroke logo intro made without plugins. The logo is outlined with the Vegas effect, layers are duplicated in Z with an index expression to fake a 3D extrusion, a shadow is added and cameras are animated through several angles for a dramatic reveal; no version is stated.
The 755.55 KB file is hosted on the SonduckFilm site and requires a free account login to download. A clever example of native 3D tricks for logo animators who want depth without a 3D renderer.
