[AMAZING , AMAZING , AMAZING] Thank you so much

[@Design.23AM]

Thanks for the video. I realised that if you are setting your stroke to 0 before making the changes the slider will match the stroke value. this is such an great technique and the aplications are endless. Thanks for sharing!

found exactly what I came for at 4:50, thank you MC

[@OwlsAndPidgeons]

Thx. :) that helped a lot to achieve my 3D rotodex animation. I was working with null objects before and it was kinda messy and so I could clear my functions and add more controls and functionality to it.

Love you bro thanks ❤

[@SonoLucaMoretti]

Dude, this is incredible! Really amazin! How we can do the same technique but with the scale (but scale values aren't the same)

[@numnut5214]

Thanks bro

[@mrguner039]

you are king👑 ty for this video 🤜🤛

[@iisnuffles]

tysm for this! Is there a way to make the slider control only control one part of the scale? I thought maybe adding transform and unchecking uniform scale would work, but it still only gives me the parent option for the whole scale and not separate :,) i hope that makes sense! 💗

[@conormurphy7058]

Brilliant tutorial 👍

[@saturn7096]

Incredible tutorial and i wish i had known what to search for hours ago. I am curious, however, if it is possible to somehow repeat this effect but also be able to move the top comp layer and have everything trail behind it instead of the top layer remaining static and the changes only affecting the bottom layers

[@anamikatadze1562]

Great tutorial, thanks so much! The hue/saturation effect doesn't seem to be working on a 3D object, but in your tutorial, it seems to work. Can you please explain why it's not working for me? Thanks!

[@MotionCaddy]

Hi, it's hard to know what the issue may be without seeing the project.
If you add a Hue/Saturation effect to your first layer and your second layer, much like you would while following the tutorial, and then add the below expression on the ‘Colorize Hue’ property of the second layer, then it should work.
You will need to tick the ‘Colorize’ checkbox to have access to ‘Colorize Hue’.
You will also need a Slider called ‘Hue’ on your CONTROLS layer.
Let me know if this works or if there are any issues.
x = thisComp.layer(index + 1).effect("Hue/Saturation")("Colorize Hue");
y = thisComp.layer("CONTROLS").effect("Hue")("Slider");
[x + y]

Great tutorial but how do you alter the expression so you randomize the colors to the duplicated triangles as seen in your thumbnail image and video?

[@MotionCaddy]

I actually do a quick run through of this at *18:40* in the video, but essentially I added the effect 'hue/saturation' to the shape layers and then used the same technique where I used a slider to add value to the 'Colorize Hue' property of each layer

[@marcopuppini345]

HI! Great tutorial, thanks! Is there a way to break the sequentiality and randomly distribute the layers in 3D space? I will appreciate any kind of suggestions! :)

[@adityantokurniawan6260]

bro i love u!

[@ShaFoods]

thanks

[@azizal157]

thanks ..
how to select multi path from 50 layer .. I,ve tried to select with one click, but it goes individually for each layer

[@LAGNAJIT-SAMAL]

is this expression same for 2d layer (Index part)

[@_casg]

bro can this workflow work with one shape layer with 7 contents? i am desperately looking for a solution,

[@music-1568]

Bro tell me please how to make controllers in the form of sliders ?

[@iisnuffles]

Search Control in the effects and presets tab, one of the controllers is called slider control!

Isn`t repeater works the same but simpler? I don`t understand the difference between repeater and this method

[@MotionCaddy]

Hi, there are a few differences between this technique and the repeater; The repeater can only be used on Shape Layers and whatever properties they have. The Repeater is also restricted to only 2d positional values. This method not only gives you access to use the 3D positions but can also be used on any layer you like, Pre-compositions, Effects, etc. For example, you could create an animation, precompose it and then use this method to have an entire pattern of this animation in different sizes, positions, colours and what ever else you can think of. Sorry for the long explanation but this method really has so many options. I hope this helps

[@fullhdismorethanenough]

@@MotionCaddy great! Now it clear for me. Thank you
