2D / 3D mix

This piece highlights the seamless integration of 2D and 3D inside After Effects, bringing depth and dimension to motion design without the need for additional plugins. Every element is crafted to showcase how smoothly these two styles can blend, creating a dynamic and immersive visual experience. Check it out! 👀✨

Behind the Keyframes 🎥🪄

For this project, I used the Advanced 3D Renderer in After Effects to build the scene, leveraging an HDRI for realistic lighting and shadows. To add depth and clarity, I designed the 2D UI animation separately, incorporating drop shadows and gradients for a polished look. I then brought this composition into my main Advanced 3D Renderer comp as a 3D layer, ensuring seamless interaction between the UI and the 3D environment while maintaining precision and flexibility.
