    Hey everyone! I hope you liked the tut! I want to make more this year. Any suggestions?
    All my time these days is given to the CorridorDigital channel, so definitely check that out. Also, we put out a new vlog every other day on the Samandniko channel if you want to see more of my shenanigans.
    Cheers!

      Some sort of masking dealio involving arrows? Like having one shot where an archer pulls, then release the arrow, and then a target (Preferable human) getting hit by the arrow.

      Wren! Help us with things like body (or anything) tracking for arrows, swords, and stuff! 2d and 3d!

      +SkintSNIPER262 I know a guy that uses real arrows.
      And interns.

      I really wondered how you did the "Minecraft Wall Explosion" in the John Cena Video - especially the texturing part!
      A Tutorial would be really great! :)
      To this one: I really liked the outcome of the Sparks, but I'll may use the "flickering" preset in the Opacity over life tab - that may looks a bit more real!
      Great one Wren! :)

    I just spent the last hour and a half going through all of the videos on this channel, and man, you have come a *long* way. I applaud you, good sir.

  • @ckay11002

    I watched the entire video.
    I don't even own After Effects.

  • @squarepixelscanada2567

    That's exactly what I needed to learn. We need more of these tutorials.

  • @Jay-fs2nw

    So I subbed to this channel before you guys were doing bi-daily vlogs on Sam and Niko, and finding out this wren is that wren, completely wrened me out! I was just wrened when I saw this. Anyway hope you use this channel more wren!

  • @dudeyousuckreally

    Love the way you manage the tutorial. Light, fun, and to the point.

  • @DHPshow
    @DHPshow 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well that was just a very good tutorial. I love how you explain every single number instead of just putting it in because then you learn something instead of just getting a preset handed.

  • @wil12t
    @wil12t 8 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    damn, I just subscribed today, even if I saw you didn't make any videos for a year, and 1 hour later you post a new video, that's amazing!

    • @SirWrender

    • @SirWrender

    • @drz5102
      @drz5102 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Wonderful video you and sam and niko have been a true inspiration to what i can accomplish. You guys have inspired me to do vfx, music, and practical fx, while learning more and more about filming. i can do this all by watching your behind the scenes and what not. Thank you so much and i hope that you and sam and niko and the crew knows how much you guys have helped me and made me a better person. Thank again!!!

  • @twin11797

    I actually have no reason whatsoever to watch this video because I don't have after effects and don't ever make videos, but I watched the whole thing because Wren seems like a cool guy

  • @ChrisChavers1
    @ChrisChavers1 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like this. Seeing the different types embers gives me ideas for different types of settings, uses, even stories that can be told. Example, I'm playing a miner in a video, I can use this for when I use my pickaxe on the rocks I'm "mining" to really sell the idea. Sweet!

  • @thatsnotright
    @thatsnotright 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    The random seed is probably used to generate when a particle is emitted and control the initial position, velocity and direction the particle flies. If you find one you like you would probably be able to copy that seed number and get the same results every time, though that kind of detracts from the natural feel if you use the same number every time. Anyway that's how I suspect that number ties in with what's going on with the emitter.

  • @CowfaicdRealm
    @CowfaicdRealm 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I actually didn't even think about the possibility of particle systems in After Effects, even less their existence, this is so cool though, I'm definetely going to play around with this a bunch :D

  • @JulianAbreu
    @JulianAbreu 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    As an advanced user i can say i learned a lot when you were talking about the differents settings! so thank you!
    sadly we can't use both bounce and air modes...but i thinking that with some displacement it could be possible to replicate the fx while using the bounce mode.

    • @SirWrender
      @SirWrender  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks!
      Displacement is a good idea but I'm not sure how well it'd work. You can try using several different instances, with some set to air and some set to bounce maybe?

    • @JulianAbreu
      @JulianAbreu 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      i'm not sure either.
      Yeah that could work, but it will all depend on the camera angle when it comes to compositing.
      Dr Strange Trailer gave us a good look to what we're talking. those are simulation yeah, but I believe they can be replicated with particular..you should try something like that in corridor haha Cheers!

    How much of VFX is playing with settings and remembering how to do the cool thing you did one time?

    • @SirWrender
      @SirWrender  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Haha it's hard to say. When experimenting, it's obviously just messing with settings. But I managed to find the right setting on ONE of the parameters in making this effect before the tutorial so I"m REALLY glad I saved the preset because I wasn't able to reproduce it haha! Now that I've studied it I can but it's true that sometimes I can't remember how to do something I've once done.

  • @hyperdrivepics
    @hyperdrivepics 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wren taught Ember. It's super effective!
    Side note/question, Wren have you noticed any errors or bugs when animating Particular using light emitter layers lately? Been weird for me in the last couple upgrades.

  • @cryingbaby096
    @cryingbaby096 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Would it be possible to make the particles "Sparkle(?)"? I don't know if that is the right word for it, but in the charges in the After Essentials package most of the charges pop or sparkle and I was wondering if there was any way of recreating that in Particular or After Effects in general.

    • @SirWrender
      @SirWrender  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah those aren't really embers though, they're moreso sparks/firecrackers. They have secondary bursts that look super cool but I was going for something a little more along the line of what you'd see if you moved a log in a campfire.

  • @aSkeletonCrew
