Part 1 What’s 3D Text Animation?
Before anything else, let’s talk about text animation. Specifically, 3D Text Animation. The text that you’re reading now, is 2D Text. It’s static, and it lacks depth. It’s just letters on a screen. Meanwhile, 3D Text is usually built for motion, and thus, it has volume and depth — it’s almost tangible. Here’s what that looks like:
As you can see, even without actually moving, in the text shown in the image above, the potential for motion is there — it looks alive.
Now, you’ll see 3D text like this often in movies or promotions. Usually in the form of extravagant title cards or 3D text logo animation. They’re eye-catching, and because they’re 3D, you can play with them as much as you want to really add drama to your creations.
Part 2 How Do I Make 3D Text in After Effects?
As promised, this next section will teach you how to create 3D Text Animation in Adobe After Effects, which is a VFX and motion graphics software used by many animators to bring life to their text. You’ll notice that the following tutorial is really more about introducing the tools that you can use in order to create 3D Text Animation:
01Step 1. Add Your Text
The first thing that you have to do, of course, is to add your text! To do this, go to the ‘Tools’ panel, select the Type tool, and then select the ‘Composition’ panel. The composition is where you type your text!
With After Effects, you also have the following options:
● Change Text Font
● Adjust Text Size
● Adjust Text Color
● Shift Justification (Left, Middle, right)
And so on! Once you’re done with your text composition, it will be generated by After Effects into a layer that you can adjust as needed in the next steps.
01Step 2. Use Animation Presets
With your text now in a layer that you can add animations to… you’ve practically done a third of the job! Or even more than that if you decide to use the animation presets that are provided by After Effects.
These can be found by selecting ‘Browse Presets…’ on the ‘Animation’ tab (shown in the image below.) All you need to apply them is to drag and drop them onto your text layer.
Note: The first keyframe of this built-in text animation will be applied at the location of the Current Time Indicator (CTI), so make sure that you’ve adjusted that accordingly.
01Step 3. Per-Character Animation
If you’d like to personalize your text animation, After Effects does also give you the option to animate per character (or, per letter, in this case.)
This will give you more control over how you decided to animate your text. Of course, it does mean that it is slightly more complicated as well.
● To animate text per layer, select ‘animate’ on that layer and choose a parameter to start working on animations for.
● You’ll be able to previous (or scrub) through your animations in order to see if they are doing what you need them to do.
● You can also remove applied parameters in order to re-work your animation.
01Step 4. Add Graphic Elements to Text
If you really want to make your 3D Animation Text pop, Adobe After Effects also offers the tools needed to add Graphic Elements to your composition — which can be found at the top-most toolbar!
Part 3 The Best 10 Amazing 3D Text Animation Templates
Now, as promised, we’re also going to be introducing a couple of 3D text animation templates that you can try out for your own projects! Each template will have a link that you can go to in order to see what it looks like, as well as an explanation on how you can use it for your projects in the future!
01Real 3D Light Bulb Kit
The first Text Animation Template on our list is the “Logo Light Bulb” 3D Animation from Envato Elements. This one literally glows people! Making it perfect for a quirky, and yet still very impressive Title Card or Logo. Its design is very realistic, and you can also control how it flickers! For example, turning the bulbs on certain characters first, or turning them all off at once in the end.
023D Text Reveal
This next 3D Animation template is also from Envato Market. And, just like the first, it makes for quite the dramatic Title Card or Logo. With this template, your Text can literally zoom in to view while looking its best and sparkiest in High-Chrome.
033D Metallic Text Animation
Our next pick, the 3D Metallic text animation is another great one for those who are looking for something flashy — something that gives off the impression of being impressive right from the gate. Compared to the previous text animation template, this one has a more rugged kind of appearance. Perfect for those looking to promote something more fun rather than professional.
043D Text Box Animation Pack
The next one is a little less ‘impressive’ — in the sense that it isn’t as in your face as the other 3D animation templates that we’ve introduced thus far. And that’s exactly why the 3D Text Box Animation Pack deserves to be on this list! Its 3D spinning text (after effects) elements are very usable — in that it can work for a variety of individuals and styles. It has a more professional look as well. Making it perfect for corporations.
053D Text & Logo Boxes
This next one, the 3D Text & Logo Boxes pack is particularly perfect for 3D logos. The pack gives you several options for box size as well as text parameters. So, you can design your animated 3D Logo however you want and use it for future projects to give them even more dimension than before.
06The Light Bulb Kit
Our next pick, which is the ‘Light Bulb Kit’ also from Envato, is very similar to the first item on our list — in that it features text lit up by lightbulbs. However, it lends an extra bit of photo-realism to it. Less sparkle and more grain — which may exactly be what you want for your new title card or logo.
073D Text Templates
The 3D Text Templates is a very bright and pop-y template that is perfect for creating eye-catching promotions and advertisements. It’s very simple to use, which, again, maybe exactly what you want. Literally, the template will ask you to choose your own text and change the colors to suit that of your own brand, then you’re done!
083D Text Shapes Logo Reveal
The ‘3D Text Shapes Logo Reveal’ template is a pack of 3D text animations that you can use in order to add a little spin to your logo reveals (quite literally, in some cases!) It has a lot of personality to it, and a certain tech-y or science-y feel that would make it perfect for anyone looking for something more technical.
09Bold Titles
The ‘Bold Titles’ template is very loud and proud. But it has a bit of a retro-vibe to it as well. Making it stand out from some of the more minimalistic modern text animation styles that you see these days.
1010. Wave 3D Logo & Text
Looking for something simple and professional? Then the ‘Wave 3D Logo & Text’ template may just be the one for you. We put it last on this list, but it’s actually quite a strong contender. One that just about anyone (for just about any type of project they’re working on), should be able to get some use out of.
Key Takeaways from This Episode
● 3D Text Animation is the practice of bringing text to life! It gives dimension, depth, and, even, movement into what are usually very static properties!
● You see a lot of 3D Text Animation in big pictures these days. And you can start creating your own with the use of Adobe After Effects — a VFX and Motion Graphics Software that a lot of professionals use for their own text animation.
● Of course, if you don’t have the kind of time to create your own 3D Text Animations from scratch, you can always use templates instead! There are hundreds (if not thousands) of them available out there. It should be simple enough to find one that fits the kind of vibe you’re looking for.
● SECRET TIP! If you’re looking for an all-in-one kind of solution, you might want to consider Filmora Pro. It’s a video editor, first and foremost, but that’s not all it is — you can be using it today to start creating your own 3D Text Animations!

This next one, the 3D Text & Logo Boxes pack is particularly perfect for 3D logos. The pack gives you several options for box size as well as text parameters. So, you can design your animated 3D Logo however you want and use it for future projects to give them even more dimension than before.
06The Light Bulb Kit
Our next pick, which is the ‘Light Bulb Kit’ also from Envato, is very similar to the first item on our list — in that it features text lit up by lightbulbs. However, it lends an extra bit of photo-realism to it. Less sparkle and more grain — which may exactly be what you want for your new title card or logo.
073D Text Templates
The 3D Text Templates is a very bright and pop-y template that is perfect for creating eye-catching promotions and advertisements. It’s very simple to use, which, again, maybe exactly what you want. Literally, the template will ask you to choose your own text and change the colors to suit that of your own brand, then you’re done!
083D Text Shapes Logo Reveal
The ‘3D Text Shapes Logo Reveal’ template is a pack of 3D text animations that you can use in order to add a little spin to your logo reveals (quite literally, in some cases!) It has a lot of personality to it, and a certain tech-y or science-y feel that would make it perfect for anyone looking for something more technical.
09Bold Titles
The ‘Bold Titles’ template is very loud and proud. But it has a bit of a retro-vibe to it as well. Making it stand out from some of the more minimalistic modern text animation styles that you see these days.
1010. Wave 3D Logo & Text
Looking for something simple and professional? Then the ‘Wave 3D Logo & Text’ template may just be the one for you. We put it last on this list, but it’s actually quite a strong contender. One that just about anyone (for just about any type of project they’re working on), should be able to get some use out of.
Key Takeaways from This Episode
● 3D Text Animation is the practice of bringing text to life! It gives dimension, depth, and, even, movement into what are usually very static properties!
● You see a lot of 3D Text Animation in big pictures these days. And you can start creating your own with the use of Adobe After Effects — a VFX and Motion Graphics Software that a lot of professionals use for their own text animation.
● Of course, if you don’t have the kind of time to create your own 3D Text Animations from scratch, you can always use templates instead! There are hundreds (if not thousands) of them available out there. It should be simple enough to find one that fits the kind of vibe you’re looking for.
● SECRET TIP! If you’re looking for an all-in-one kind of solution, you might want to consider Filmora Pro. It’s a video editor, first and foremost, but that’s not all it is — you can be using it today to start creating your own 3D Text Animations!

Detailed tutorials provided by the official channel
Yes, it is definitely possible In fact, it couldn’t be easier. A lot of the ‘whiteboard animation’ generators also work as blackboard animation generators.
In this guide, we hope to shed some light on the subject so that everyone can have an easier time approaching the matter of creating a blackboard project on their own.

01 [Is Blackboard Animation Outdated?](#Part 1)
02 [How to Combine Modern Needs with Blackboard Animation?](#Part 2)
03 [How to Create a Blackboard Animation in ONE DAY?](#Part 3)
Part 1 Is Blackboard Animation Outdated?
Blackboard animation some may say is as outdated as the concept of ‘blackboards’ themselves. After all, nowadays, whiteboards are the standard for presenting information in a school setting — with many preferring the ease of using dry-erase markers over the more unwieldy chalk.
However, unlike the inconveniences of using an actual chalkboard, chalkboard animation is not so different from whiteboard animation In fact, it’s just given a different look. One that may be exactly what you’re looking for — especially if you’re looking to get in touch with the older generation (who would no doubt be more familiar with the concept.)
Part 2 How to Combine Modern Needs with Blackboard Animation?
But alright, so how do you make it so that your blackboard animation is just as suited for the modern generation as it is for the older generation?? Well, that’s easy really. You’ll need images Or, rather, you’ll need visuals outside of just the plain text that is usually associated with chalkboard animation.
With the right kind of visuals to go along with your informational text, you can boost the effectiveness of your chalkboard animation video and make it more palatable. Perfectly in line with the modern needs of the era.
Part 3 How to Create a Blackboard Animation in ONE DAY?
Alright, so onto actually talking about how you can go about creating a chalkboard animation video Take note, this is going to be an ‘overview’ kind of tutorial. We’ve also decided to choose a more ‘custom’ method, rather than using one of the premium blackboard animation generators (which usually require you to pay a steep price in order to gain access to a media library.)
01Step 1. Pick Your Software
The first step in creating chalkboard animation is to pick the software that you want to use This can be something more ‘animation-specific’, like After Effects. Or something more ‘video-editing-specific’ like Filmora.
Again, because this is meant to be more of a ‘general’ tutorial, we won’t be showing you exactly how to use whatever editing software you decide to use in order to create your blackboard animation videos. But, as a general kind of advice, it would be best that you pick a video editor like Wondershare Filmora Video Editor that offers a Timeline feature that will allow you to quickly put together a project
02Step 2. Create a Storyboard
Next, to make the actual blackboard animation creation process go smoother, it’s important that you create a storyboard that will outline the video that you want to create
The more detailed this storyboard is, the better Although, of course, you don’t necessarily have to draw every single frame of your chalkboard animation beforehand. Just sketch out the general idea. It will help make sure that you won’t have to rush about making all sorts of corrections in the future
03Step 3. Draw Characters
For this step, we say ‘characters’ and use the word ‘draw.’ But really, this is a very open kind of step where we encourage you to put together all media that you will need to make your project into a reality This is where the storyboard really helps. After all, with that, you have an idea of exactly what kind of characters, settings, music, audio, etc. you’ll need for each scene (if not each frame)
If you’re not the ‘drawing’ type, by the way, there are both FREE and premium media libraries that you can take advantage of to use for your project It might be difficult to find matching art styles at first. But, if you’re really particular about that, then you can always find a freelance digital artist to design with a specific style in mind
04Step 4. Put Together Project
Last of all, of course, is the process of putting everything together. Do you have your software? Great Launch it and create a new project Do you have your storyboard? That’s also great Now you have an idea where each character and setting will go
In the image below, we’re only showing the start of a potential project. We’ve only added one image to the timeline But, as you can see, with the use of Filmora, even this one image can be turned into a video
● Key Takeaways from This Episode →
● Blackboards are naturally associated with learning This makes blackboard animation videos a great method of sharing information with an audience. Whether you’re doing it to promote your services/goods or just genuinely looking to impart knowledge to another
● Some may think that blackboards are outdated — for the mere fact that blackboards themselves are considered outdated when compared to whiteboards — but that doesn’t make them any less effective at getting a message across so long as you include the right kind of visuals
● In our brief ‘overview’ tutorial, we expand on the subject of blackboard animation some more. Be warned, it’s not the kind of project you should go into if you’re not prepared for the work Longer projects, especially, will require quite a bit of elbow grease to get done.
● Still, there’s something satisfying about a well-done chalkboard animation video that will not only be a joy to create but also, hopefully, catch the attention of your audience as well.
Yes, it is definitely possible In fact, it couldn’t be easier. A lot of the ‘whiteboard animation’ generators also work as blackboard animation generators.

“I am still finding it difficult to go into animation even after covering some basic concepts of animation, hardware, software, books, and courses. Is there a way I can learn 3D animation and graphic design courses quickly and easily?”
This guide will show you what professional 3D animators go through and share how you can start your animation career. Sit back and enjoy this all-encompassing and educating guide to learn 3D Animation for beginners!

02 [Top 5 Programs for 3D Animation](#Part 2)
03 [The Best 10 Online Courses to Learn 3D Animation for Beginners](#Part 3)
04 [Recommended 3D Animation Learning Books and Resources](#Part 4)
Part 1 Should You Study 3D Animation?
3D animation is a graphic design technique that uses motions to bring props, characters, objects, etc., to life. For a long time, 3D animation has created TV shows, films, and games, but now it is widely used to create materials for businesses that help them advertise their services and products. The most common usage of 3D animation is creating three-dimensional moving objects and placing them in a digital environment. There is software used to generate these objects specifically for 3D animation with 3D animation courses online for free to learn how to use such software. This software helps 3D animators to create the illusion of movement needed to bring these objects to life.
As the popularity of 3D animation begins to grow, its usage also increases. 3D animation can be useful for the following:
● Many businesses use 3D animation for presentation and more examples and graphics.
● 3D animation is used in real estate as many apartment complexes use it to create interior and exterior renders for their properties. 3D animation allows renters or buyers to view the property without visiting it.
● 3D animation can also be valuable in the medical industry to create exciting graphics for presentation.
You can divide the process of 3D animation into three primary phases:
● Modeling: The modeling stage is how characters or objects get created. This stage can include scanning natural objects into a computer or using a modeling tool. Both methods are helpful and outstanding. When you scan real-world objects into your computer, it saves a lot of time; creating a model entirely by yourself using a tool will give you control over the entire look. Irrespective of the methods used, textures must be added to the character or objects before moving to the next stage.
● Animation and layout: At this stage, the created models are animated and positioned into a particular scene, first determining a layout by creating a set and adding objects into it. The characters and things must be animated by assigning animation variables, and then models within the scene can be given life through motion capture and keyframing.
● Rendering: This stage is where the scene generates into the finished image by using a specific software as the process of rendering cannot be handled by a typical computer
For learning 3D animation, practice, to make yourself perfect for getting your 3D animation as smooth and precise as you would like it to take some time. If your set goal is to create 3D characters, you first need to know how to recreate people in a digital form. According to the 3D animation forum, it takes at least eight months to learn how to animate if only you spend about three to four hours every day. It takes firm dedication to learn 3D animation and graphic design courses.
Part 2 Top 5 Programs for 3D Animation
Aside from the three basic phases involved in 3D animation, there are other individual steps that and needed in 3D animation and 3D animation graphic design courses which include:

3D animation is a graphic design technique that uses motions to bring props, characters, objects, etc., to life. For a long time, 3D animation has created TV shows, films, and games, but now it is widely used to create materials for businesses that help them advertise their services and products. The most common usage of 3D animation is creating three-dimensional moving objects and placing them in a digital environment. There is software used to generate these objects specifically for 3D animation with 3D animation courses online for free to learn how to use such software. This software helps 3D animators to create the illusion of movement needed to bring these objects to life.
As the popularity of 3D animation begins to grow, its usage also increases. 3D animation can be useful for the following:
● Many businesses use 3D animation for presentation and more examples and graphics.
● 3D animation is used in real estate as many apartment complexes use it to create interior and exterior renders for their properties. 3D animation allows renters or buyers to view the property without visiting it.
● 3D animation can also be valuable in the medical industry to create exciting graphics for presentation.
You can divide the process of 3D animation into three primary phases:
● Modeling: The modeling stage is how characters or objects get created. This stage can include scanning natural objects into a computer or using a modeling tool. Both methods are helpful and outstanding. When you scan real-world objects into your computer, it saves a lot of time; creating a model entirely by yourself using a tool will give you control over the entire look. Irrespective of the methods used, textures must be added to the character or objects before moving to the next stage.
● Animation and layout: At this stage, the created models are animated and positioned into a particular scene, first determining a layout by creating a set and adding objects into it. The characters and things must be animated by assigning animation variables, and then models within the scene can be given life through motion capture and keyframing.
● Rendering: This stage is where the scene generates into the finished image by using a specific software as the process of rendering cannot be handled by a typical computer
For learning 3D animation, practice, to make yourself perfect for getting your 3D animation as smooth and precise as you would like it to take some time. If your set goal is to create 3D characters, you first need to know how to recreate people in a digital form. According to the 3D animation forum, it takes at least eight months to learn how to animate if only you spend about three to four hours every day. It takes firm dedication to learn 3D animation and graphic design courses.

Are you looking for some interesting and animated GIF icons? Then simply read this guide to discover funny GIF icons and learn how to create them on your own.
GIF, which stands for Graphics Interchange Format, has now become extremely popular among social media. From sending our reactions to something to wishing others on special occasions, GIFs can be used in so many ways. Though, there are times when we would like to use animated GIF icons in your designs to make them more appealing. Therefore, in this post, I will let you know how to create some funny GIF icons and would also share a few resources to find readily available GIF icons.
In this article
01 [Smart Ways to Create Your Own Animated GIF Icons](#Part 1)
02 [Top 3 Resources to Get Free Animated GIF Icons](#Part 2)
Part 1 Smart Ways to Create Your Own Animated GIF Icons
While there are so many ways to come up with animated GIF icons, I would recommend exploring the following options:
Method 1: Use Adobe Photoshop to Create GIF Icons
If you are looking for a professional solution to create a live GIF icon, then I would recommend using Adobe Photoshop. While the application is not that easy to use, it will be an ideal long-term solution. In nutshell, you can create animated GIF icons by loading assets, duplicating layers, and then merging them in the following way:
Step 1 Load Assets on Photoshop
At first, you can simply launch Adobe Photoshop on your system and go to its File > Scripts to load media assets into your stack.
This will let you browse and load the media assets to your projects. In case you don’t have a layer created, then you can just go to its File > Layer and create a new layer.
You can now rename your layers and can go to its File > Window > Timeline to get a timeline view of the added assets.
Step 2 Work on the Video Timeline to Create a GIF
Great! Once you have got the timeline view on the application, you can click on its dropdown menu and choose to create a frame animation.
Afterward, you can select the added media and go to its Properties menu on the sidebar. From here, you can choose to create a new layer for each frame and then make frames from each layer.
This will create multiple frames on the timeline at the bottom. You can edit each frame on the timeline and can also set up its preferred duration.
You can also right-click the frames and select how many times your loading icon GIF would be repeated.
Step 3 Preview and Export your GIF from Photoshop
Lastly, you can get a preview of your animated GIF icons and can go to its File > Export and choose to save it for the web in a compatible (GIF) format.
Method 2: Make Stunning Animated GIF Icons with Wondershare Filmora
Since Adobe Photoshop can be quite complicated to use, you can consider using Wondershare Filmora to create all kinds of animated GIF icons. It is a user-friendly media editing application that has a wide range of readily available assets and would also let you import files from your system.
Besides that, there are tons of stickers, visual elements, captions, animations, transitions, and so on that would let you create and customize funny GIF icons. Therefore, if you want to create animated GIF icons using Filmora, then you can simply follow these steps:
Step 1 Load Media Files (Images and Videos) on Filmora
To get things started, you can just launch Wondershare Filmora on your system and go to its File > Import menu to load media files to it. You can also drag and drop your media files directly to the interface of Filmora.
Step 2 Create or Edit GIFs on Wondershare Filmora
After loading your images or video clips, you can drag and drop them to the timeline at the bottom. In case you can want to get rid of any video clip, you can just hover the mouse around and use its trimming tool to meet your requirements.
Once you have edited your videos or images, you can just go to their properties from the sidebar. From here, you can scale, reposition, rotate, flip, and perform other edits on your media files.
If you want to add texts to your GIFs, then just visit the “Titles” section of Filmora from the top. This will let you explore and include any caption effect that you can later edit on Filmora.
You can also go to the “Effects” section from the sidebar to explore a wide range of transitions, filters, stickers, and more that you can add to your GIFs.
Step 3 Export your Animated GIFs from Filmora
That’s it! Once you have worked on your funny GIF icons, you can get their preview, and click on the “Export” icon from the top. Here, you can select “GIF” as a target format and simply save them to a preferred location on your system.
Method 3: Take the Assistance of Canva to Create Animated GIFs
You might already know that Canva is already a popular online application that can be used to create social media posts, marketing video ads, brochures, GIFs, and more. Since Canva offers a wide range of assets (images, GIFs, and more), you can use it to create animated GIF icons on the go.
Step 1 Select a Template of your Choice on Canvas
Whenever you want to create a loading icon GIF, you can just go to your Canva account and look for any existing template. Apart from its existing template, you can also load a blank canvas.
Step 2 Use the Existing Designing Features of Canva
Great! Once you have opened your canvas, you can explore tons of assets on the side. For instance, you can add texts, borders, objects, and so on from the sidebar to your canvas. You can also select a relevant animation style and add it to your project.
Step 3 Export the Media as a GIF from Canva
After working on the live GIF icon on Canva, you can just go to the Export option from the top and save it as a GIF on your system.
Part 2 Top 3 Resources to Get Free Animated GIF Icons
