Aquí está una técnica poco agradable para la creación de efectos de tipo líquido en movimiento en After Effects . Es otro buen ejemplo de la potencia y versatilidad de Capas de forma en After Effects. De hecho, todo esto se hace con sólo una capa de forma. Usando algunas de las capas de la forma construida en efectos vectoriales y de valores después de algunos plugins de efectos se pueden obtener algunos resultados muy interesantes! He aquí cómo se hace!

Paso 1

Este primer efecto es genial para los fondos de tipo abstracto. Mal empezar por trazar una capa de forma en una nueva composición utilizando la herramienta de Polystar.

Paso 2

Aquí puedes ver la configuración de la forma anterior. He establecido una cantidad media de puntos (13) y también tiene una carrera verde muy brillante.

Paso 3

Para conseguir este efecto comenzó Im que va a añadir un efecto de repetidor en el menú Agregar. Se trata de un efector muy poco versátil. Que le permite repetir y el desplazamiento de la capa de forma original, sin necesidad de copiar la capa.

Paso 4

Usted puede ver el efecto aquí. Todas las estoy haciendo es tratar de crear un caos abstracto al azar realmente.

Paso 5

Im ahora va a suavizar la forma de utilizar el efecto de esquinas redondeadas en el menú Agregar.

Paso 6

Im ahora van a destrozar por completo mediante la adición de un último efecto. El efecto de Ondular trazados es una especie de Lijar los bordes en Illustrator. Se añade un montón de aleatoriedad a la capa de forma vectorial y produce lo que parece ser un montón de garabatos. Esto es bueno!

También tiene la capacidad de auto animar. Esto se hace usando los meneos / El segundo parámetro. He establecido esta muy baja (0,1) para que las líneas se mueven muy lentamente de manera aleatoria. Esta es la base de nuestro movimiento del líquido.

Paso 7

Ahora Im que va a añadir efectos

Paso 8

A continuación añadir efectos Ill

Paso 9

Para crear el efecto líquido Ill añadir efectos

Paso 10

Para el paso final Ill aplastar el canal alfa, un poco con los efectos

Aquí puedes ver el resultado final en la acción.

Paso 11

Esta técnica se puede modificar fácilmente para crear un poco de agua como los efectos. La piscina clásica, por ejemplo. Todos los he hecho es modificar la configuración del repetidor un poco y cambiar el color de trazo a un azul claro. Ive se coloca esta sobre otra capa sólida azul y establecer el modo de transferencia para agregar.

Aquí el está en acción.

No está mal para una capa de forma justa!

CC Vector Blur ships with After Effects as standard. Depending on which version (older) you have it may be on your installer disk as a separate installation.
