A few days ago, we started learning to use Adobe After Effects to make three dimensional objects. We started with an eraser, and took 6 pictures, one of each surface of the eraser. I'll leave out the precise technobabble of exactly how we did it, but we used After Effects ability to make new cameras and shift the perspective on the layers. Each layer was rotated on an X, Y, or Z axis so that when your (that is, the camera's) perspective changes, what you see of each face of the object changes. This has been a slightly frustrating experience for everyone, because After Effects wasn't built specifically for 3D modeling. Later, we'll use Maya for that, and my teacher says that that will be a lot simpler. Perhaps simpler still if we somehow get new computers. Well, here's a look at the eraser. It's very rough, but it was our first attempt. Enjoy!
