Spent the last while building this, a 3D deity scene inspired by Ramayana movie trailer, done in After Effects using 3D god model and Trapcode Particular for the energy/particle effects around it.

Recreated 3 techniques you see in every documentary/news channel. Curious if anyone here has a faster way to do the sliding timeline reveal, mine took a while to get each image positioned right.

Hey guys, I’m trying to find a native, no plugin way to recreate the Disclosure Day title. I got close using Element 3D's ray traced ambient occlusion, but the native AE Spotlight method isn't working for this. With the spotlight, the shadows cast the exact shape of the next letter onto the text which is physically right, but I want that smooth, dark gradient shadow look from the movie title.
I broke down both of my attempts here to show the exact difference in results: https://youtu.be/6xRYhgAoHWc
Is there a native workaround I missed to get that gradient look? Maybe a specific text animator combo that smooth directional character shadow without third party plugins? Let me know.
