Build a 3D Book in After Effects with Physics-Animated Letters

In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a realistic animated 3D book directly inside After Effects. We will combine native 3D page mechanics with physics-driven typography. First, we build the book mechanics using 3D layers, expressions, and the Curvature geometry option to fold the pages. Then, we use the Newton plugin to simulate zero-gravity explosions and falling letters directly on the pages. Finally, we integrate animated foliage shadows, depth of field, and show you how to use our free script to automate the entire 3D book creation process. You can find the full step-by-step text tutorial with project files and the free script on our website: https://www.motionboutique.com/learn/...
