In this video tutorial, I show you how to create a 360 degree camera-aware environment in After Effects without the use of third-party plug-ins. Check it out.

    Hi Carl,

    Thanks for the great tutorial! May I ask if there are anyway to download the tutorials for offline personal viewing? I am relatively new to AE and often need to refer to the tutorials as and when I need. It would be a great help if it is possible.

    May the Lord bless you richly!

    If you have quicktime pro installed on your system the easiest way to get the tutorials for download is to go to creative cow, wait for the tutorial to fully load in your browser, and then choose “save as source” from the pop-out in the lower right hand corner of the quicktime player.

    If you don’t have quicktime pro, you may be able to find the movie in your browser’s cache and move it to your desktop from there.

    If neither of these option work for you, let me know and I’ll see what I can do.

    Thanks for the kind words. Merry Christmas!

    Hi Carl,

    Thanks again for the quick response. I do not have Quicktime Pro hence I will not be able to save the movie using the function. I will google to see how I can save from the browser’s cache.

    You are most welcome.
    Blessed Christmas!

    Haha… sorry, I can’t seem to find the temp files in the temporary internet files nor any of the cache folders.

    Hello Carl, I was wondering how many rows of photos you shot for the Minneapolis Panorama in the 3D world tutorial. Do I need one of those expensive panoramic tripods or is there a technique to use that does not require that piece of equipment? Thanks again for the great tutorials. I look forward to seeing more.

    I’ve found the best way to shot a panoramic image is with a fisheye lens and a panoramic head. For the Minneapolis panoramas I shot 8 sets of images, 6 horizontal, 1 zenith, & 1 nadir.

    If you shoot without the panoramic head, the results won’t always stitch properly and you’ll get frustrated trying to make a spherical image.

    FYI – I’m in the process of making an in-depth tutorial set on panoramic imagery, but it’s going to take some time to get that finalized. Until then, I hope this helps.

    Dear Carl,

    I watched these tutorials with great pleasure and it inspired me to add them in one of my works.

    I know they are from the older tuts but I just got the time to check out your website… Where would we be without Creative Cow?

    I think you did a superb job following up the great Mr Rabinowitz.

    Thanks for providing us with all your knowledge,
    God Bless,

    PS: Any comments coming my way are more than welcome…

    Thanks, Tim.
    It’s been a great honor to follow in the steps of some of own mentors – and the folks at Creative Cow have been very good to me. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
    Carl
