Big thanks, thanks to the extruder and some expressions I was able to make a fully animated 3d pie chart that doesn’t look cheap ;).
Coudn’t imagine after effects without the preset.

Thanks for your answer, Maltaannon. I think I need to be more accurate.
In your tutorial, you give a texture to the faces, and that works perfectly. But what about giving a texture to the depth, to the extruded part ?
That’s what I needed to do in my work : a video had to been played into the depth of the letters : seeing the letter from the left of the right, in from of its depth, you could see the video playing.
I made some attempts based on your tutorial, like duplicating the video.mov and using it with the “extrusion”-layer as you did with the “faces”-layer… but it doesn’t work.
Some idea ? ;-)

If i got the idea right the solution would be simply animating the Depth parameter in the 3dShapeExtruder.

Hi Maltaannon ! :-)

I’ve just finished your tutorial, and it was a great great pleasure ! Thank you so much !

I wanted to use it a few days ago for a work I had to make, but I couldn’t, because I had to work on a computer with the 6.5 version… (!!!). I used instead the shutter method, and it was very, very painful.
BUT…
I had to make appear a picture into the extrusion, and the shutter method allowed me to do it.
At the end of your tutorial (a few minutes ago), I tried to do the same : having a picture appearing into the extrusion. And I couldn’t find a way to do it.

I’m now finished with my work, but being very curious, I’d like to know : would you have an idea to make it work ?

Thanks for all ! :-)

hi. your tutorials are awesome, i installed the 3dshapeextruder, i did it same way as you show in the video, installed successfully but when i apply it to text, following your tutorial as you show it, there’s extrusion or 3d effect showing, just the flat text, not sure what is the problem, i have after effects cs3

Great Tutorial… But a bit teased on the Discoveries logo.. What was the font used for that? Thanks!
