In the last few months I have written a couple of posts about motion graphics. Although I have only dabbled in After Effects, it is still one of the things that intrigues me most. After Effects is a really cool software that allows you create vibrant motions graphics just like the movies. So if you are thinking of making a meteor hitting the earth with a smoke trail or just graffiti writing on a wall in 3D, this post is a must see. So what are you waiting for…why not try one out?
