TECHNIQUES
Assign a texture Now we have created the material
05 for our Geospheres, it’s time to work on texture for our
geometries. For that we will use colourful images of textures.
All you need to do is create colourful textures in Photoshop or
just download them from the internet. After this, just add these
images as a material and assign them to your different
geometry. Because of these colourful images these Geospheres
will look very attractive.
Light it up After finishing the initial setup, it’s time to
06 add light in the scene. We will create a single light,
which is Omni – for this, go to the Create panel, and go to
Lights>Standard>Omni. Click on Omni Light and create it in the
viewport. Set this light position as per the camera and scene
requirement. Now select the lights and go to the Modify panel,
then turn on the Shadow and make it a Shadow map. Don’t
change anything in Light Multiplier and Light Colour. You can
add more than one light if you think that the scene needs it, but
otherwise keep it single to save on rendering time.
Render After finishing the lighting setup, it’s finally
07 time to render the scene. Go to Render Setup by
clicking F10 and set the Output Range, Output Resolution and
Output Path. After finishing this setup, if you want to render
different passes, for example a Diffuse pass, Light pass or a
Reflection pass and so on, just go to the Render Elements tab
and click on the Add button. Here you can see the new window
has appeared, so select the elements that you want to render
and click OK. Now just hit the Render button. It will take around
one to two hours to finish the rendering.
Composite and add final tweaks Once the
08 render has finally finished, import the renders into
After Effects or any other compositing software that you use.
We’re using After Effects, so import the elements and then
drag them into the timeline. Now select Element and add
Brightness and Contrast or any other effects, then play around
with the parameters until you get a final result that you’re
satisfied with. Then create a solid background in Photoshop
and import that background into After Effects as well. Drag it to
the timeline below the Text Element. Now make the final
output and you will get your motion graphics text.

Try to learn
particle
effects
If you are in the
motion graphics field
then you should
learn particle effects.
Every software has
its own particle
section or module,
so try to learn as
much as you can
because you can
create many
different types of
effects using them. I
use the Particle Flow
System in 3ds Max
and it’s amazing.
