“3D” Head Rotation for Detailed Artwork in After Effects

In this tutorial, I’ll be covering how to get a “3D” like head rotation from detailed artwork that can be easily animatable after the fact. Liquify is our friend. :)

Beginners beware, I'll be covering advanced techniques with expressions and skimming over the basics.

(These scripts are free and of my own making. Current build ONLY supports After Effects CC 2018/2019 for Windows 7/10 and Mac OSX in English and has had limited testing. These scripts are not required to animate your environment with the global variable concept, think of them as more of a luxury and time saver! Also, currently, 3D position is not support.)
