How I Animated this Faux 3D Peach in After Effects

Learn how I created a peach animation that looks like it’s rotating in 3D space, but is actually made of 2D shape layers. In this Adobe After Effects tutorial, you’ll learn how to animate the Path Property of shape layers to simulate 3D rotation, and how to cut and rearrange the layer order to pull off the illusion.

➡️ Get Overlord, the tool I mentioned at 3:28 to easily transfer artwork from Illustrator to After Effects.

This is an affiliate link. I get a small cut of the sale at no additional cost to you. This helps me create more content for you. I promise that I would still recommend Overlord even if I didn’t make a penny; it’s a tool I use myself!
