Introduction

This is the result we will create, an old city facade in darkness swept by warm spotlight, illuminated by soft blue light, with the title always visible. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe After Effects series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Layer 3 can receive light from the light layer. With light, a flat scene transforms dramatically like a theater stage. We will learn about types of light and how to adjust them. Create a composition named 3D Cahaya.

Step 1: 3D Scene

Import old city footage to the timeline and convert it to 3D. Create text for old city at the bottom, convert to 3D, and apply Z-200. Without a light layer, all layers appear in their original brightness.

Step 2: Spot Light

Open layer, new, light. Light type has 4 options, parallel like the sun, spot like a center light, point like a bulb, and ambient that illuminates evenly. Select spot, warm cream color, intensity 150, then okay. The scene immediately darkens except for the spotlighted area.

Step 3: Cone Angle and Feather

Open light options. Cone angle determines the width of the spotlight, lower it to 45 degrees. Cone feeder determines the softness of the edges, raise it to 80%. The light circle is now smaller and softer.

Step 4: Ambient as Fill

The area not illuminated is dark and dense. Add a second light of ambient type with a deep blue color and intensity 30. The dark area now turns blue like a night scene, and the warm spotlight becomes more prominent.

Step 5: Moving Highlights and Accepts Lights

Animate the point of interest of the spotlight from left at 0 seconds to right at 5 seconds. The light sweeps across the facade. Then open material options for text and turn off accept slides, so the title is not affected by light and always readable.

Step 6: Preview

Play the preview. A warm spotlight sweeps over an old building against a blue night background, while the title remains bright. The combination of the key light and fill light is the foundation of lighting in a film. Done.

Done!

We have already learned about 4 types of lights, creating a spotlight with intensity, cone angle, and fader, adding ambient, moving the spotlight, and turning off accept slides. In the next episode, we create a 2.5D parallax effect from a single photo. Need a promotional video, logo animation, motion graphics for social media, or visual effects for a short film?
