In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to recreate the popular cel animation style paint stroke/splash effect you see in a lot of 2D animations using After Effects, Trapcode 3D Stroke and Trapcode Particular. The workflow I'll demonstrate is super flexible and applicable to achieving a bunch of different cool 2D paint stroke looks for revealing an object, writing on text, or painting on screen.
After Effects expressions are an amazing feature that allows you to obtain cool animation saving a lot of time. Unfortunately this is an almost inaccesible world for who, like me, don't know anything about Javascript.
During these years of work, I have found many useful expressions on the web, and I thought it would have been great to have all of them near-at-hand in just one project.
Remember that I am not the author of this amazing work, I just create this project. So if you want to thank somebody, thank Dan Ebbert, owner of the amazing blog motionscript.com, or Ian Haigh, who wrote Ease and Wizz script. The most part of these expressions come from there, I just put them all together in this project.

A lot of you guys have been asking question about how I animate character so I thought to put together a serie of 5/6 tutorials to show my workflow. There are so many things to say that I am really not sure these tutorial will be exhaustive, but I hope you will find them useful to develop your own process.

In this second episode I focused on how I generally set up characters. I know it’s not that interesting, but it is was fundamental to include this step before moving on more complex aspects of the animation process.
Things will be way more interesting starting from the next video, I promise 🙂
