- [Instructor] So here I have several 2D layers.…When we talk about After Effects and 3D,…we're actually talking about enabling a switch…that converts a 2D layer to a 3D layer.…So, when we look at the interface here, we have this icon…for 3D, and it's available to us on all layers.…So, let's go ahead and click on this sun layer.…We'll twirl this down and look at the Transform properties.…Anchor Point has an X and Y position,…Position has an X and Y value, Scale has an X and Y value,…and we have a Rotation value, one lone Rotation value.…
When we turn on the 3D layer,…we gain a couple different parameters,…added values here for our Z position on the Anchor Point,…the Position, Scale now has an exposition,…and Orientation is a brand new parameter,…and our one rotation value gets split up into X, Y and Z.…And there are also some other differences…inside the composition window.…So let's select the sun layer again,…and you'll notice we have a new interface…for our control handle; this is the 3D axis handle…that we can use to control our X value, or exposition,…
