As the World Turns…

Using CC Sphere and the grid effect, you can make some really cool looking globes in After Effects. I’ve used this on MANY occasions. It’s so much quicker than jumping to a 3D app. If you put a little spin on the globe and auto-orient it to the camera, you’d never tell […]

Blink 2.0

A while back, I posted a slightly overly complex method of how to make a layer blink on and off. Just recently, I had an epiphany that I drastically overcomplicated it, as I often do as an animator that moonlights as a programmer. Try applying this newer expression to opacity:

blinkSpeed =10;
n = Math.sin(time*blinkSpeed);

B Dots: AB Transition

Did you hear? Bikini dots is the new black. This cool little plug-in has remained under the RADAR for some time now, and I’ve recently discovered it and I can’t stop playing with it. I was always a fan of CC Ball Action, which has a few limitations. B-Dots picks up where […]

Alpha Emitter - Particular

This is a project based on a question over in the Toolfarm After Effects forum. The question was how to make keyed footage emit particles, specifically letter particles.  I can’t think of a better use for Particular than this.
Particular can use any layer as an emitter, as long as its 3D switch is turned […]
