What makes a 3D space battle even more spectacular? Compositing in Adobe After Effects. Learn to take the render-pass sequences of the spaceship versus asteroid scene you created in part 1 of this series and recombine them in After Effects. Author Lee Lanier shows how to integrate shading and color in your render passes, animate the flames emitting from the spaceship, and create a particle simulation that makes the asteroid explosion seem more realistic. You'll also learn to replicate glows, lens flares, film grain, and camera motion along the way.

Topics include:

* Setting up the project in After Effects

* Combining background elements

* Layering render passes

* Adapting stock footage

* Adding After Effects particles

* Color grading the composite

* Adding camera shake and grain
