This is not a repeat! Last week’s project was for After Effects with no third-party plug-ins. This one is specifically for Trapcode Lux.
LME has graciously provided a freebie that is an extra bonus file from each of their sets of beautiful comp files. These are Toolfarm exclusives and we’ll be posting one per week […]
Here’s a quick project on how to make a 3D egg in After Effects. I used the Sphere plug-in in Boris Continuum Complete, but the Sphere tool in Cycore FX would work just as well. I just didn’t have it installed at the moment.
Anywhoo, this project uses BCC Sphere and the regular AE plug-in […]
Making a cube in AE is easy and yet difficult at the same time. It’s difficult if you don’t have your settings right. I’ve found that a few things can really streamline the task.
First, make sure the sides of your cube are the same size. Yes, that ought to be obvious.
Second, it seems […]

Here is the fifth or sixty in the series… sorry, I’ve lost count! This sample is not included in the […]

It indeed should be simpler in AE, making an extruded shadow.. the kind you find in many NLE programs.
This uses the AE Type tool, and black solids with “Set Matte”. Each solid is offset 1 pixel in X/Y.
I’d recommend leaving this as its own comp, or placing your layers below the existing layers in […]
I’ll be doing a series on tricks with paint and clone tools. Here is number one. A student asked me how to achieve this effect a few months back. It’s very easy, but as you can see, I’m not much of a tagger.
If you don’t have AE 7, here’s the basic technique. Put your text […]
I never cease to be amazed at the flexibility of Trapcode Particular. Just when you think you’ve maxed it out, someone else gives you another idea.
Although I did create this preset, it is largely inspired by the trapcode-people.net preset “Gridsurface 4D Fractal” (I believe made by Peder Norrby, I could be wrong).
The […]
Someone on the Toolfarm After Effects forum asked for some tips on making a lava lamp. I made a lava lamp preset a while back and for the life of me, I just can’t seem to find it. I decided to redo it and came up with much more realistic results.
This is not a […]
