After Effects: 3D Star Text Reveal Tutorial ✨

In this tutorial, we’ll create a 3D star and text reveal animation completely from scratch in After Effects, without using any plugins.

You’ll learn how to build a 3D star using shape layers, add realistic lighting, animate text reveals, and combine everything into a clean motion design. By the end of the video, I’ll also share a modular template that lets you easily swap text, colors, and adjust the animation for your own projects.
