Using 3D Features Lesson overview In this lesson, you’ll learn how to do the following:

• Animate 3D objects. • Add reflections to 3D objects. • Use an adjustment layer to blur multiple layers. • Animate a camera layer. • Create and position light layers. • Add a Linear Wipe effect to reveal objects in the composition. This lesson picks up where the previous lesson left off. In Lesson 11, “Building 3D Objects,” you created the first half of an animation promoting a book. So far, a 3D representation of the book and 3D text are positioned in 3D space. In this lesson, you will complete the project by adding lights, effects, reflections, and other elements to the composition. In doing so, you’ll learn how to use additional 3D features available in Adobe After Effects. This lesson will take approximately 1 hour to complete.
