Again this After Effects Tutorial jam-packed with useful techniques that I first had a bunch of alternative titles:
▪ How to Auto-Orient the Card Dance Effect towards the Camera
▪ Use the Card Dance Effect like Cinema 4D's Mograph
▪ Create flying Fake 3D Spheres with Shape Layers
▪ How to 3D Track the Card Dance Effect into Video
▪ How to 3D Track blurry Video with Slow Shutter
Well, the final title that made it is a mix of 2 of them.
Anyways.......I hope you find my After Effects tips useful for your own projects.
--------Here's Dan Ebbert's Auto-Orientation Script--------
C = thisComp.activeCamera;
V = C.toWorldVec([0,0,1]);
P = toWorld(anchorPoint);
lookAt(P, P + V);
