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.
