This is incredible! Love that you found a way to do it natively.
Thank you 😊. At least this method saves some money for plugins 😂
So Cool 🔥💜
Thank you!
super! thx dude
that glow recipe is gourmet
Thanks, bud 😎
Bless you, Michael, I've been exhausting myself all day trying to create 3D connections with the same concept. You've earned a sub and my gratitude. Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial.
Thank you very for your encouraging words 🙏

Welcome 😊
nah this is too brilliant and classy tutorial, thanks for the tuts !!
Thank YOU very much for watching my tutorial 😊
THANK YOU! I was looking for a solution that didn't cost $1000. The Red Giant stuff looks awesome but I was sure that After Effects had the capability to make 3D strokes without spending a buncho mullah.
Right after seeing the thumbnail i knew it should b u sir
Hattsss offff to ur work again🙏
Tnxx for the tutorial
Thank you. Good to know my thumbnails work now 😂
underrated!! Your tutorials are next level
Thanks, man 😊
This is brilliant.
Thanks very much 😊
THanks a Lot
Wow. This is a very cool tutorial. It was really amazing. I love your processes of achieving almost impossible things in AE. Waiting for more cool ones and thanks for sharing this one.
Thank you 😊 There are some tutorials in the pipeline. But please be patient a bit . My real job keeps me from making tutorials 😂
@@MichaelPonch Got it.😁. No worries. Take your time. 😅
Too good maffriend
You're awesome!
Thanks, man 😊
cool i always thought how to create 3d stroke just from pen tool and you deliver it
This is sick
Thanks 😎
I'm new to your channel. I'll keep connected. Thanks for your job.
Awesome Video
Thank you 😊
God Damn! your taking this to the next level
Thank you 😊
thanks
LOVE
Amazing tutorial
So cool. You should do more videos as you are on a another level :) I have some to work on for my channel :)
fantastic. But is it possible to add a few extra null controller mid way without needing to reset everything?
Gods have spoken. ❤️
Don’t flatter me too much 😂
holy moly
😎
nice nice nice
Epiccccccccccc
can you plz tell how to add it to a video in my case it just get's yellow (the whole screen)
Hi did you know why when the null exits from the screen it changes position like it flips, it's like when it goes behind the camera something happens... Thnx
Great video, but such a shame it doesn't recognise obscuring layers, so you can't have the stroke wrapping around objects.
Hi bro thanck for tutorial❤️
can you add a project file with text
beacuse thats one its so good and i cant create with text like you
if you can add a project file Like the project you showed in the first video🙏
I'm sorry if I wrote badly because I don't know English and I understand your videos to some extent
thanck you🙏❤️
We need mike ponch vlogs back in the world bro!
No vlog but at least a new tutorial next week. You are the first to know 😊
@@MichaelPonch nice! Just rewatched your freelancer vlog, and trying to find the one you did for that client with the 3d from start to finish
sir Osama
Doppppe!
Hey mike, youve been freelancing for so long thats amazing dude, would you ever go back to a full time motion designer job? If so, why
Keep crushing bro
Hey. I don’t think I’ll go back. Maybe when I don’t get any offers anymore. Which was nearly the case in the beginning of Covid. Maybe the pressure is higher as a freelancer but it’s worth the freedom. I like to work in a team but as soon as I have social issues with some guys or my boss it would be the hell for me. Of course you have also difficult clients. I don’t say ‘f*** off’ to them. I try to finish all my projects but I like the freedom to tell him that I don’t have time for him anymore the next time he wants to hire me 😂
@@MichaelPonch legitimate reasons to stay freelance for sure man!
Hi Michael, love this tutorial. I want to download this plugin/scripts from the weblink you provide and pay it but unfortunately don't have credit card. Can I send the payment through paypal? Please let me know how to proceed. Hope for your reply.
Thanks for the hint. I just added Paypal to the purchase options. Please try it again and let me know if something doesn’t works. And thanks for your support 😊
bad ass
Great tutorial, thank you!
Question: Im using AE 16 which doesn't have taper strokes, and trapcode 3d strokes are not showing the strokes/outlines :( Do you know why trapcode isnt showing the strokes? Thanks
Thank you 😊. Oh I’m sorry I cannot help. I’m using the latest Trapcode 3D strokes from Maxon. But you could try the free Thicc Stroke Plugin that also offers tapered strokes
@@MichaelPonch Thank you for the reply! And great videos too! I must've watched this video atleast 10 times lol, too bad I need to upgrade the AE version to be able to use it :(
Have a great day!
wow.
Thank you :)
Amazing tutorial! Thank you so much for this. Just out of curiosity is it right this only works with the active camera? When I switch to ‘top’ or ‘left’ etc the line disappears.
Thank you 😊. Absolutely right, this works only in active camera. After all it’s fake 3D
@@MichaelPonch does that mean it won't work with a tracked camera?
@@seanhong3959 it works with a tracked camera. as long as you edit the stroke through this cam. You can’t adjust in other views, like top view, as you can only see the result when the active camera is on.
@@seanhong3959 but of course you can reposition the null objects in other views because they are “true” 3D
how did you create the 3d BG?
3D solids, each with a grid effect 😀. You can download the file (link in description)
It’s possibile to add this 3d stroke in a drone video?
In principle yes, it depends on the video. What you can do is 3d camera track the video. And place the null objects in 3d space. But as it is fake 3d the stroke always has a consistent thickness. In some cases you could mimic perspective with tapered strokes
I try moving about the orbit but the stroke is the one just orbiting and not the scene. DiD I do something wrong?
Hi 👋. If you work in an older AE Version you need to insert a camera layer
…or maybe you haven’t checked the 3D checkbox for the other layers?
The 3D stroke in After Effects still renders like a 2D layer.. either completely in front of layers below it.. or v/versa. Making hair on a character so would like it to hide in the back.
Right. It’s a fake 3D solution after all. If you want a stroke to be in front and behind an object at the same time you have to do it with masking 😊
@@MichaelPonch yes.. thanks for your tutorial! it helped me figure this out! It would be nice if the 3d strokes interacted with other 3d shapes in correct z space since masking can get very complicated.
i can't find the taper edit: nevermind it's cause i'm using an old version (ae 2019)
superrbbb
Thank you 😊
please what are your pc specs
My PC is 6y old. 2x Xeon 2.4GHz, 128GB RAM, 2x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080. But don’t be fooled by my screen recordings. I sped them up 😊
*questions*
Where can we find the script...also is there a taper stroke for shape layer in AE CS6??...BTW this ended careers of many plugins... 🔥🙏Ur literally a genius 🔥🔥
I’m very very sorry because AE introduced tapered strokes with AE 2020. Same for the script . But please google “ Create Nulls From Paths for CS6”. There is a Reddit discussion about it.
And thank you by the way 😊
@@MichaelPonch that's why I was searching for it nd couldn't find it 😂😂😂...
can i make real 3d stroke from a vector svg ai file ?
Sure, you can copy the path in AI and paste it into the Shape Layers Path attribute. From here you can procede with my technique. I recommend it only if your SVG consists of a few paths. Would be tedious to process a lot of paths and the resulting Null Layers 😊
Hi 👋. Just got your mail with your AI. Unfortunately it’s too complex for this technique. It’s rather something to accomplish in a 3d software where you 3D bend it along a spiral. There might be plugins but I would use a 3D program like Blender or C4D.
@@MichaelPonch thanks for the support
BROO YOU DO ME A FAVOR
Welcome 🤗
Kristal klear th
Bruh! Don’t break AE please 😟💔
daaaaaamn. this was EXACTLY what I was looking for. started a quick google search after a client requested sth like this, and amids all the laughable "buy trapcode" suggestions, low-key "let me just show you how I do all this by simply using the app properly" Michael appears and saves the day 😂🙀🥳 thanks man, super smart solution for a super simple problem
Thank you very much! I appreciate it 😊. Yeah, it’s insane to buy a subscription for an effect that you use 1-2 times in your lifetime 😂
