How to Animate 3D Objects Using BCC Title Studio Plugin

Are you looking to add some flair to your video projects by animating 3D objects? In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of animating 3D objects using the BCC Title Studio plugin. Let's dive in and bring your creations to life!

Setting Up the Workspace

To begin, create an empty event to work on. Next, locate the BCC Title Studio effect, which will be the cornerstone of our animation. Ensure you have the BCC plugin installed to access this feature. Click on "Launch UI Window" to open the interface.

By default, the workspace layout may not be ideal for working with 3D objects. To optimize your workspace, navigate to Window > Workspace and select "Animation Dual Horizontal." This layout provides a more intuitive environment for working with 3D elements and animating them effectively.

Adding and Texturing 3D Objects

Firstly, remove any existing text elements from the scene and switch the view to 3D render mode. To add a 3D model file, choose "Add New Media" and select your desired 3D model. For instance, let's pick the 'melioda sword' for this tutorial.

If your 3D model lacks texture initially, you can easily rectify this. Locate the texture settings by navigating to the color option. From there, adjust the settings to apply a texture to your object. Select the appropriate texture type (e.g., texture, reflection) and upload your texture image to enhance the visual appeal of your 3D object.

Animating the Object

Now, let's breathe life into our 3D object by animating it. Begin by orienting the object correctly by adjusting its rotations. Set keyframes to mark the start and end points of the animation. Experiment with easing in and out effects to achieve smoother transitions between keyframes.

Although a preview glitch may hinder your viewing, persist with creating simple animations by manipulating the object's rotations. Additionally, fine-tune the object's movement along the x, y, and z axes using the 3D camera to position it precisely within the scene.

Enhancing the Animation

For a more dynamic animation, consider incorporating camera movements. Experiment with compositing modes, track motion adjustments for object-based animation, and editing techniques to refine your animation further. Delve into camera settings to explore zoom effects and angles that can add depth and interest to your composition.

Conclusion

In conclusion, animating 3D objects can elevate the visual appeal of your videos and captivate your audience. While the example showcased here is simplistic, it serves as a foundation for your creative exploration. Feel free to experiment with different animation properties and camera settings to craft compelling visuals that resonate with your audience.
