Turntable Animations

Chapter 3: Wireframe Rendering Techniques

The most common way to present a model, to a client, supervisor or on a demo-reel, is to create a turntable animation. This tutorial demonstrates a simple, yet effective, solution for creating dynamic turntables. Chapter three demonstrates how to render the wireframe/topology of the model on top of the shaded turntable animation. When presenting work, especially on a reel, viewers will expect to see not just the finished result, but also how it was achieved. Clean, efficient and animation friendly topology is critical, therefore presenting that aspect of your work is expected. In this lecture we look at a variety of wireframe styles and composite them in After Effects.

Very cool third installment to this set. I recommend all three. Alex, I know you payed lip service to it, but the kinks and the varying line thickness bug me, man. It's the little things :)
