Particular SMOKE Tutorial | Ultra Realistic!

0

Hi, I’m Lendon from Visionary Universe!

I had noticed that there were not any good tutorials for simulating fluid like smoke After Effects, so I developed this method and shared it with you guys in this video. Comment if you have any questions!

If you attempt to make this effect yourself, don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t look right at first. You will probably have to re-create the effect several times before you get the hang of it.

Countdown Timer After Effects | EASY TUTORIAL

0

Hey, it’s Lendon again from Visionary Universe. Check out these techniques and tips below!

You can also put the expression directly in the source text parameter instead of slider.

Want to display frames in your countdown? Create another text layer and use this expression:
24 – (Math.floor(time*24) – Math.floor(time)*24)

(This expression assumes your frame rate is 24, if not, replace all 24’s with your desired framerate)

Want to display minutes? Create another text layer and use this expression:
3 – Math.floor(time/60)
(Assuming you are counting down from 3 minutes)

Want your countdown to display a DECIMAL? Use this expression:
30 – Math.floor(time*10)/10
Then watch this quick video to fix issues: https://youtu.be/-RcD0yiB7mw

Be sure to comment below if there are any additional feature you would like to have!!! I should respond in a decent time.

Finally decided to get out and film this for a real world VFX tutorial! Hope you guys learned something because it took a bit to put this episode together. Remember COMMENT YOUR QUESTIONS! You can almost learn more in the comments section than you do in the video if you just ask. 🙂

Visionary Universe provides the visual community a very unique & advanced method of approaching CG with a very mathematical, thought inspiring, conceptual mindset. It’s not about how to do this or how to do that, our goal as a team should be to raise your VFX intelligence to open new doors beyond many others. Whether some realize it or not, this is your goal as a visionary.

TWO POINT ROTATION & SCALE TUTORIAL: https://youtu.be/E3utKyifwLA

CALCULATE ROTATION EXPRESSION:
x=thisComp.layer(“Back Track”).transform.position[0]-thisComp.layer(“Front Track”).transform.position[0];
y=thisComp.layer(“Back Track”).transform.position[1]-thisComp.layer(“Front Track”).transform.position[1];
Math.atan2(x,y)*180/Math.PI+value

CALCULATE SCALE EXPRESSION:
x=thisComp.layer(“Back Track”).transform.position[0]-thisComp.layer(“Front Track”).transform.position[0];
y=thisComp.layer(“Back Track”).transform.position[1]-thisComp.layer(“Front Track”).transform.position[1];
v = Math.sqrt(x*x+y*y)/transform.scale[0];
