How to create 3D picture Gallery in After Effects

Hey everyone, welcome to another after effects tutorial, today we are creating a 3D picture gallery in after effects like this.

So let's started,

First, create a new composition 800 by 800, 30 frame per pixel, and change the name placeholder 1 and select a rectangle tool. double-click on it to make a perfect rectangle. fill color none stroke color white and size 56 pixel. now open images folder and drag the first image into the timeline.

Now create another new comp, this time full HD 1920 By 1080. 30 frame per second. then create a new solid background layer and search ramp effect and apply on the background layer. you can choose any other background. I am just showing you an example. now go to project window and drag placeholder 1comp into timeline above the background layer. then go to project window and duplicate placeholder 1 comp multiple time. I have 15 images so I am duplicate placeholder 1 comp 15 times, you are free to use any number of images. The more images, the better your effect will be.

Now drag all placeholder comp into the timeline. and open placeholder 2 comp and replace the image with our second image, by pressing and hold the alt key and drag over on the current image. resize the image if required. do the same thing with all placeholder comp.

Now select all placeholder comp and make a 3D comp. if you did not find this press F4. now create a new camera I am using 50 mm preset camera. then create a null layer and parent with the camera. now change 1views to 2 views horizontal and go to top view and select placeholder comp one by one and place randomly where you want. I am moving this comp z and x space. do the same with all placeholder and move all x y z space.

Here we have done us all placement now go to again 1 views, select camera layer and expand turn on depth of field and aperture around 200 pixels, then create another null layer, change name wiggle, hit P for position and hold and press the alt key and click on the stopwatch. so that its appear expression layer, and add wiggle expression, wiggle (.3,50)

Now select all placeholder layer and parent with wiggle null layer. now select null 1 layer and press p for the position, and go to around 1 second and add a keyframe. then go to the first frame and Move positions until all images are out of the camera. select both keyframe and easy ease them. and make your graph like this. perfect, now go to around 20 frames forward, by pressing shift plus right arrow key double time. and add a keyframe on the same position, then go to around 30 frames forward and move the position as you like.

As I said, I am just showing you an example you can add more images, so its look more beautiful and attractive. here we are done with our animation part. now go to project window and drag particles footage into timeline and change mode normal to screen. then drag light leak footage into timeline and change mode normal to add then press T for opacity and change opacity 20%. now duplicate light leak footage and drag above the background layer and flip light leak footage.

Our animation has done. you can also add motion blur.

Hit 0 for render.
