Adding Motion blur to 3D objects

Hey guys, this is Mac Heads 101 with another special guest to show you how to um give a motion blur to a 3D rotating object in After Effects.

Limited for making us that awesome intro, go check him out! He has lots of unboxing videos, reviews, tutorials, and much, much more. So let's get started.

Okay, hey guys! So I'm gonna open up After Effects. It's gonna be pretty fast because I'm using a fast computer. Alright, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to find an image which I'm going to use to rotate.

So I'm gonna go to Google Images and search "Apple logo." Let me use this white Apple logo. I'm going to save that. Whoops! I'll drag it into After Effects.

Uh, okay, it's in now! I'm gonna make a new composition by pressing the new composition button, and I'll make it a bit bigger—like 592 pixels big. Okay? And it's gonna be 30 frames long.

Now I'm going to drag this in, and so for the 3D part, I'm going to make it into a 3D layer by pressing the 3D layer box. I'm going to go to transform, and see, it's uh X rotation.

I'm gonna press the time, uh, the stopwatch which means it's a new keyframe. I'm going to set the um, the X rotation to more. And so now, if we play this, it should go like that.

For the next part, I'm going to switch from workspace to effects. Go to fast blur, create a fast, fast blur, and apply it to the object.

Now I'm going to select vertical because it's going to be moving in a vertical direction. And if, what I'm going to do is I'm going to start it off with low blur, um, by pressing the stopwatch. Then, at 10 seconds where it stops, I'm going to have it have uh 23 blur.

So now, if I test this out, it should look like this.

Okay, so thank you for watching Mac Heads 101! Subscribe and goodbye!
