![]() ![]() I actually used, uh, the 3d stroke pro plugin from trap code because as I pointed out in a different tutorial, it has this nice feature of letting you taper, uh, your strokes and, and for a vine that's really, really cool. You can, you know, you can do it very simply with the shape layer and, you know, make it whatever shape you want and then go in and, and adjust it. So you might hear me sniffling, so you can, uh, you can create the vine any way you want. And I apologize, cause I have the sniffles a little bit today. ![]() So I'm gonna make a new pre-camp here and we're going to call this vine oh one. And hopefully it'll just give you guys some more ideas about, uh, you know, things you can do with them. So we're gonna use particles in kind of a unique way. Particles are one of the best ways to do that. ![]() ![]() Um, you know, whenever you have a lot of repeating elements, but they need to sort of be born at a certain time and you need an animation to be triggered at a certain time. Uh, when, when I say particles, I'm sure a lot of you think about, you know, magic effects and, and things that look like particles, but actually particles are really just a, another technique that you can use in motion graphics, and specifically the way I'm using them here is to generate the leaves automatically for me along these vines. The point of this video is to try and get you guys to understand some of the cool things you can do with particles. Now let's hop into after effects and get started. So you can grab the project files from this lesson, as well as assets from any other lesson on the site. If you had to hand animate everything, don't forget, sign up for a free student account. I'm going to use them because particles allow you to trigger animation, which opens up a world of possibilities. Most people think of particles as making explosions or magic effects or things like that. At this point, we're going to use particles in a way that you don't often see them used. Today, we are going to talk about particles and specifically trap code particular, which is one of those plugins that every single after effects artists out there kind of has to know it doesn't come with after effects, but frankly it probably should. What's up Joey here at school of motion and welcome today, 25 of 30 days of after effects. ![]()
