Expand the 3D Effects in After Effects CS6 with Mettle's Plug-in
The folks at Mettle recently posted this nice tutorial from Nancy Eperjesy, president of Mettle's Software and Creative Services divisions, on how to use Mettle's ShapeShifter AE plug-in to create the animated 3D skull and knife logo appearing at the end of the new The Expendables 2 trailer. Beginning with several Photoshop displacement maps, she shows you how to build the sequence (renamed The Expandables in the tutorial) inside After Effects CS6.
