PERTAMAX euyyy…

sweet!

Thanks for the tutorial

Thanks a bunch! I just love all this stuff! You Rock Lloyd.

Very Nice

Very Cool thank you but Lloyd, what’s up with your site? AESCRIPTS.com
I get an Internal Server Error??

That was sweet!, just started delving into AE and am lovin these, keep em coming.

Hi Lloyd,
thanks for giving all your AE secrets away
Theres one thing that make me wonder: Although you animate the mask of the logo through the animation – the logo is stil seen all the time. I mean its mostly black, but I can see that black (masked) part . Normally, If I mask (subtract) out something it should be transparent, right? But you made it somehow black instead. How you did that? Why is the Mask not fully transparent at some parts ?

thank you

I’m not sure but could’nt you parent the Front Spot Lights point of interest to the emitters position? Just a thought, Great tut.

the wait is finally over

@pat – unfortunately aescripts is starting to get more traffic than it can handle, but i’ve increased its hosting capacity so hopefully it will be fine from now forward.

@illd – because the obscuration layer in particular doesn’t take the mask into consideration. In this particular case it wasn’t a big deal because the whole animation is over black but otherwise it might have been a limitation.

@mike – Yep, you could do that as well. One thing that I love about AE is that there are so many ways to approach a problem.

thanks for this one as well, it is a great tutorial and you have managed to make math fun

when you were discussing your throttle preset, I noticed you had multiprocessing turned off. Why is this? isn’t it better/quicker to leave that turned on? Could you maybe lay down some tips on how to get the most out of our machines? I called Adobe’s After Effects Support and they, surprisingly did not really know. I put 18 gigs of Ram in my computer and have dual quad core processors, because I know AE needs a minimum of 2 gigs per processor to fully take advantage of multiprocessing. isn’t okay to leave it on all the time? any input, feed back or snappy one liners you can offer on this is greatly appreciated.

great tutorial

one thing i would like is the custom particle that you made the ones I made looks like crap.

@crumpy – the way MP works is AE fires 8 background instances of the aerender application and that takes some time, so the reason I turn it on and off is that for simple quick rendering like I was getting with particular using the sphere particle it actually works faster with MP off. Hence why I wrote Throttle to be able to easily turn it on and off. For more expensive renders and making sure you have enough ram, which you do, then turn on MP.

@giovanni – keep practicing! That’s how I got mine to look good

Anyone needing any sound effects to put with their tutorial effort….go to http://www.freesound.org. You’ll have to sign up but there are literally 1000’s of sounds you can search through. You’ll definitely find one (or more) you’ll like!

thanks for the info.

Wow! Awesome effect. Realy like this one!

sweet

so sweet

well thanks for sharing that was a very nice tutorial have learned alot of things from it keep it coming

thnx for this .realy intersant

Wow thanks A LOT for this tutorial! Also great that you took the time to go into the sin/cosin part! Realy points it out nicely! What rests for us is to create something realy different now

so nice

thanks you a lot man, really…
now i use math in my animations and the results are great and fast!!!
it boosted up my production speed and allows me to animate things that was only in my wishes.

cheers from Italy.

oh my god, my english is pretty bad:)

sometimes i don’t get it …. can u start posting the proyect so we can look at them closely ? =D

thanks

Yeah there are some parts I don’t understand too…Is there any way to post the project file ? I hope I’m not stupid… :S

Thanks Lloyd! You’re a great teacher.

Nice tutorial, however messed up when it came to the stroke thing with the brush, I used a mouse and it didn’t look good at all, got really annoyed because I really wanted to try some stuff out with this tut. Does anyone think they can upload the project file??

very nice friends thanks i hope nice live all time and welcome all time

Is the video tutorial down? It worked a couple minutes ago. There is a lock shown on the video player and the HD is greyed out (tried 2 separate computers).

very nice and very happy about u r stuff Thanks

Brilliant mind.

Thanks for your great tutorials. You’re one helluva of a teacher. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so:

I know, I know I still have alot to work on.

So sweet!
Thanks for the tutorial and all of the grest tips. I learned a lot, and now I´m a little bit curious about math

Nice work

Hi, it lost the tint and the shine of the particles when exporting to any video format, what could be? i tried the HDR compander filter to fix it, but looks the same, maybe it’s related wiht the 8-16 bit color warning?

Thanks for the tutorial

excelent..
