Description
Project file: https://payhip.com/b/KEpCL
Recreate the massive, heavy metallic 3D title from the official DRAGON Glimpse entirely inside After Effects! No Blender, no Unreal Engine—just 100% After Effects using Element 3D.
In this step-by-step After Effects tutorial, we are breaking down the signature Prashanth Neel style typography from the upcoming Jr. NTR movie trailer. You’ll learn how to set up the 3D text geometry, build that heavy grunge rock texture, create dramatic cinematic edge rim lighting, and animate the camera reveal from the teaser.
