In this second part we use the “Roller Coaster” iExpressions to make the Aetuts+ logo move like a skateboarder in a half-pipe. At the end of this part, we also cover another super easy and super useful physics simulation.

In this three part tutorial series you will learn animation techniques that go beyond the usual keyframing. You can make your animations more believable and realistic using real physics simulations! With iExpressions this can be done easy and quickly without writing a single line of expressions code. In the first part we create all the basic ingredients using the pen tool. We also cover a clever technique to smooth your pen strokes.

In this tutorial we’re going to go over the principle functionality of CameraTracker from The Foundry, learning basic workflow, optimizing results, aligning the ground plane and exporting this data from After Effects to Cinema 4d.

Wes Kandel is back to show us how to combine geometric shapes made in Illustrator and then imported and animated in After Effects to create his very cool Geometrika piece.

In today’s tutorial I’ll show you how to create a very simple rig that you can use to simulate a shower head perspective or garden hose sprayer. For less then $5 you can add a new dynamic shot to your arsenal of possible camera angles. **One thing I didn’t mention in the tutorial is that you have to let the glue dry before you put the tape over it… otherwise it WILL leak.

Learn what techniques were used to create this fast, music matching, dynamic Motion Graphic project. I will show how to create everything (except the 3D Inserts) within After Effects and how to keep everything organized and editable. With some intentional keyframing and a few expressions, you’ll be on your way to creating more energetic animations.

In this 3 part tutorial, we’ll take a look at compositing this “Sci-Fi Gas Refinery”. The shot is completely CG and contains no live footage elements. Using photographic layers, 3D renders and effects, we will explore the process of compositing the shot to read as live footage. Techniques include; color correction, blur effects, layer-blending, matting, RPF channel extraction, camera parallax and atmospherics, just to name a few…
