A very cool (FREE) #AfterEffects script from @jakeinmotion.bsky.social that lets you animate things into and out of a radial setup (and it works in 3D too)! www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_yk...

You ever used #C4D simulation tools to model? In the BTS video at the bottom of the article, Hashi uses soft body simulation to model the clouds and rigid body simulation for the trees. Made me giggle. Such a fun and smart way to get that imperfect look. maxonvfx.com/48JI9Hn

I wanna control parameters in #AfterEffects based on the luminance of another layer. Think Mosaic sizes, Fractal Noise getting denser/smaller the further away it is, direction of a blur based on luminance. If you like this, vote on my feature request: community.adobe.com/t5/after-eff...

Drive any parameter by another layer's luminance

You know how awesome Compound Blur is? I want that power everywhere. That is, it would be extremely powerful to be able to switch a parameter to be "driven by" another layer. You would set your mi...

My website is currently down because I'm rebuilding it, and it's taking a really long time. In the meantime, you can download my Cinema 4D Python Effectors from here: aturtur.com/files/c4d/ef... #c4d #python

I xpresso'd my own Morph Cam in #C4D with individual controls. I found the morph cam's lack of finesse frustrating. On a job where flexibility was critical, I spent the time to make it happen. Grab it from my website if you want it! jctecklenburg.com/dlc

🆕 in After Effects beta: Spot and Parallel light shadows in Advanced 3D! They're fast to render and fun to play with, especially mixed with shadow color. You can do everything from super-stylized sharp shadows to realistic multi-light scenes. More details: community.adobe.com/t5/after-eff...

Hello, #motiondesign Blue Sky. What version of #AfterEffects are y’all using? Me? I’ve been almost exclusively in the beta for the past few years and have found it’s a generally more stable experience.
