This is a quick way to give your text the appearance of 3D, but you cannot actually move the text in 3D space (doesn&#8217;t change perspective).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31798\" title=\"Pseudo Flat 3D\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/pbblogassets\/uploads\/2013\/12\/3d-text.jpg\" alt=\"Pseudo Flat 3D\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3d-extrude\">3D Extrude<\/h2>\n<p>This popular technique is similar to the pseudo flat 3D approach, except this text can actually be moved in 3D space. Essentially the text layer is multiplied and incrementally moved one pixel back in Z space to give a <strong>3D effect<\/strong>. Apply an After Effects 3D camera and orbit around the text.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31799\" title=\"3D Text After Effects\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/pbblogassets\/uploads\/2013\/12\/3d-text-extrude.jpg\" alt=\"3D Text After Effects\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"shatter-3d\">Shatter 3D<\/h2>\n<p>This approach uses the built in <strong>shatter effect in AE<\/strong> (Effect &gt; Simulation &gt; Shatter). We&#8217;ll finish out the tutorial by adding a 3D camera and lighting in After Effects to give the text a dynamic look.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31803\" title=\"Shatter 3D Text After Effects\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/pbblogassets\/uploads\/2013\/12\/3dtext2.jpg\" alt=\"Shatter 3D Text After Effects\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You don&#8217;t need fancy third party plugins to create 3D text in After Effects.
