Hi There

I find “how to” Videos on YouTube about how to create a 3D rotating Cube with Vegas Pro but it is very old Videos

I just want to know if anyone knows about recent Videos that show how you do it of if there is anyone willing to create a new how-to Video on 3D rotating Cubes or 3D Blocks?

The best one I find was this one but it is 13 years old

I love to learn how to do it So I can Help Clients with it.

Regards

Theuns

@Theuns Hi, someone might explain this better or have a better way of doing it but here's my version,

This is the 3D space I was working in.

I rendered out my clip at 2160x2160 so it was sq (for an equal sided square)
I created 6 tracks, all with 3D Source Alpha, attached to one Parent track also with 3D Source Alpha
The tracks all have either 1080 or -1080 (½ of 2160), & some have 90º rotation to position them,
I muted all tracks so it they weren't in the way, then unmuted each in turn to position it,

I used the Parent Track Motion to rotate the cube, keyframed.

@Theuns

I did a couple youtube demos on the subject in 2015.

It was something of a "thought experiment" for me and I haven't used the concepts since then. (Perhaps, it was too much like work since I used to do 3D AutoCAD drawings when I worked for a living.)

Here are two projects that you can reverse engineer 'til your heart's content.

@Theuns You may want to check out "Scattershot 3D" from vasstsoftware.com,

It is pretty old, but I have purchased some of the Vasst software plugins for Vegas in the past.

You can maybe contact @JohnnyRoy (John Rofrano) Owner/operator software developer @ VASST Software http://vasstsoftware.com

(Note http without s is not secure, but it it is an older site, not update in a while I guess... )
