    Nice stuff nick.
    I’m glad i started watching your Vblog when i did. I feel its going to be a good daily dose.

    What i’m looking forward too, even more then the tutorials, is the little 5 sec projects. This as a feature on your blogs will really bring new and old motion designers posting and contributing together.

    Many thanks for giving your time,

    You sir, are God.

    I really didn’t know it was so easy, I’m pretty excited to start playing around with it.

    Quick question: what software would you recommend to model and/or animate in 3D?

    Keep the AE tutorials coming! Love em!

    Although I know the basics, I watch because you never know what you may throw in for good measure. Plus, we have to always remember the basics in order to do the complex. I would like to know how you did the final piece of your Layer Tennis volley…that was cool to the hilt! DK rules my friend.

    more C4D tuts! I think they’re fantastic. Also, I love the walkthroughs. Design tutorials are genius because it’s lacking in most colleges and other website tuts. Keep encourage people to build their eye for design.

    I like your tutorials for after effects and I wanted to ask if you could make a tutorial on how to make shadow on an object in 3D without using a light, if its possible to do that.

      You do need a light, but switch the light to “Shadow Caster” and that will only make a shadow with no additional light. That might be what you need.
