Hi Vinh, thanks for this very helpful tutorial!
I only have one problem when I want to anime my OBJ with plexus.
The next frame represents a non subdivided OBJ. If I set the sequence OBJ on "Loop" or "Ping Pong", this problem appears all the two frames...
Could you help me ?
Maybe you said something about it in the video but I don't understand english very well.
Thank you in advance for your help an thank you again for all your tutorials!

I can't increase the segment on my object and i dont know why, may you help me with this please?

[@CreativeDojo]

唐嘉朗 You can't simply up the segment count unless it's a parametric object. Did you convert your object to a polygon and try to subdivide like the video?

I actually hide my dock and maximize the AE window when I record tutorials. Check out the Mac App: Moom, I use it to quickly maximize stuff :)
