Basic tutorial for making 3D coin flip in AE

Confused about how to use AE to create a realistic 3D coin flipping effect? PHP editor Zimo hereby provides a detailed tutorial to help you solve this problem step by step. Below, let’s take a deeper look at the creation process of coin flips, unlock the power of AE, and create stunning visual effects yourself.

Open the AE software and create a new composition

Create a coin using the shape layer and text tool, and merge the two layers into a pre-composition.

Use two plug-ins to crop the pre-composed size and set the center point to the center.

Turn on the pre-synthesized 3D switch.

Copy eight pre-composites. (The number of copies can be more or less, but the total number of synthesis must be an odd number)

#The attribute value of the fifth synthesis does not need to be adjusted, and the other position parameters of the z-axis are adjusted in sequence. They are arranged in sequence from front to back in space.

Add a fill effect to the second to eighth compositions, filling with a color slightly more neutral than the coin, in order to give the coin a shadow effect when it flips.

Flip the first composition (the innermost composition on the z-axis) along the x-axis.

Merge all compositions into one pre-composition and turn on the small sun symbol and the 3D layer switch.

Set y-axis rotation keyframes for this pre-composition, and then adjust the curve between keyframes.
