Weightless 3D

This template is a collection of different 2D rigs that use scale, position, and rotation properties to simulate 3D behavior and rotate your objects. Each object has a series of sliders and controls applied to it that allow you to control the rotation of the solids as well as their dimensions. The objects are made of simple shape layers whose fill and stroke can be edited according to your needs.

How to use

Each object has a Null layer on top called Controller. Here you'll find different sliders and expression controls that allow you to control the object's size, its rotation on the X axis, and also the perspective/rotation on the Y axis.


The checkbox "Height follows perspective" makes the height of the object follow the perspective slider. If unchecked, only the top/bottom faces of the object will follow the perspective slider.

Keep in mind

The objects are not real 3D, so there is no realtime layer stacking. For the Rectangular Prism, Hexagonal Prism, and Cylinder it's no problem because there is an expression on their opacity that turns each face off automatically at the right moment of rotation.


The other shapes cannot have a precise rotation degree in which they turn off because it changes based on a face's size and inclination. So for them it has to be handled manually, animating the layers' transparency on and off.
