3d Environment (Beach) | After Effects Timelapse
Finally completed my most recent "environment" for animation! I recorded my process throughout along with attaching the 2 in progress exports and the finished environment.
Overall, I wanted to give a brief insight into the process & flow when it comes to making these, as more often than not the process itself is more intriguing
By having a dedicated environment created, it gives me a "play area" so to speak to create animations within, effectively helping give me a cohesive background that can be reused depending on the context of the animation itself, saving some time as it means that I don't have to try create or recreate the environment from scratch each time.
All of the assets are images & videos, which are plotted in 3D space using X, Y & Z-axis, giving a parallax effect whenever the camera moves.
I'm very happy with the results here as I always felt that environments or backgrounds were one of my weak points, either they'd be too basic, too cluttered, wouldn't react well to camera movement etc but I feel I've hit a good balance with this batch
