    Gosh, being a newbie on RG products for AE, I can say you guys saved my bacon a couple of times already for some projects I've been assigned, in just a month! And this tutorial is a proof that I'm surrounded by some of the most skilled professionals on the market. I will watch it several times, over and over, in order to learn all gems you guys are sharing. I suspect this is only possible because of RG ecosystem and support. Congratulations!

    • @theActionMovieKid
      @theActionMovieKid 5 лет назад +2

      Appreciate the kind words! This and the upcoming Pt 2 tackle a bunch of universal things that are hopefully helpful for whatever project you're working on. Red Giant is amazing - they've invited me to do these for them, and everyone I've met is delightful. They are truly so creative and supportive.

      Right after I parented the rest of the solids to my ground floor... Everything got out position, to describe it better... things just got closer. I entered the values in the position and orientation of the ground floor too but it seems to just be like that. You got any idea where it went wrong?
