Heres uma técnica pouco agradável para a criação de efeitos móveis tipo líquido em After Effects . Seu outro exemplo bom do poder e versatilidade de Shape Layers no After Effects. Na verdade tudo isso é feito com apenas uma camada de forma. Usando algumas das Shape Layers construído em efeitos do vetor e algumas ações After Effects plugins que você pode obter alguns resultados bastante interessantes! Heres como você fazer isso!

Passo 1

Este primeiro efeito é legal para os fundos do tipo abstrato. Ill começar por desenhar uma camada de forma em uma nova composição usando a ferramenta Polystar.

Passo 2

Aqui você pode ver as configurações para a forma acima. Ive definir uma quantidade média de pontos (13) e também tem um traço verde brilhante também.

Passo 3

Para obter este efeito iniciados Im indo para adicionar um efeito Repeater a partir do menu Adicionar. Este é um efetor muito pequeno e versátil. Ele permite que você repita e compensar a camada de forma original, sem a necessidade de copiar o Layer.

Passo 4

Você pode ver o efeito aqui. Todos os Im fazendo é tentando criar uma confusão aleatória abstrata realmente.

Passo 5

Im indo agora para suavizar a forma usando o efeito Cantos arredondados no menu Adicionar.

Passo 6

Im indo agora totalmente mangle isso adicionando um último efeito. O Wiggle Caminhos efeito é como Roughen Edges no Illustrator. Ele adiciona um monte de aleatoriedade para a camada de forma de vetor e produz o que se parece com uma carga de rabiscos. Isso é bom!

Ele também tem a capacidade de auto-animar. Isto é feito usando o Wiggles / segundo parâmetro. Ive definir esta muito baixa (0,1) para que as linhas se movem muito lentamente em uma forma aleatória. Esta é a base para o nosso movimento líquido.

Passo 7

Agora eu estou indo para adicionar Effects

Passo 8

Ill próxima Effects adicionar

Passo 9

Para criar o efeito líquido Ill adicionar Effects

Etapa 10

Para a etapa final Ill esmagar o canal Alpha um pouco usando Effects

Aqui você pode ver o resultado final em ação.

Etapa 11

Esta técnica pode ser facilmente modificado para criar um pouco de água muito parecido com efeitos. A piscina do clássico, por exemplo. Todos os Ive feito é modificar as configurações Repeater um pouco e mudou a cor do traço de um azul claro. Ive então colocado sobre esta outra camada azul sólida e definir o modo de transferência para Adicionar.

Aqui o seu está em ação.

Nada mal para apenas uma camada de forma!

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.
