  1. Just did it and it and it turned out great! I was actually looking for this tut for a while now, don’t know why, maybe just the retro 3D look has something to it. Plus, I see a lot of after effects videos with a similar effect too. Great tut, thanks! Do you mind telling me what effects you added to the picture of yourself to get it to look like that? It looks like you got rid of the highlights and a bunch of other stuff… Please share!
