ABSTRACT

Entering 3D Space The third dimension unleashes a lot of creative possibilities. Up to this point

in the book, you have worked exclusively in two dimensions — X and Y. After

Effects travels beyond 2D by allowing you to move layers along the Z-axis

(depth). In addition, you can rotate the layers, add cameras, and even lights

that illuminate 3D layers, creating realistic cast shadows. It is so much fun and

all it takes is one simple click and you are in 3D space.
