I've been spending all day trying to create this in C4D and Blender, and then you come along with this genius way of making clouds... Just wanna punch myself for not thinking of it first! Simple, easy to tweak, effective. Brilliant. Always tried to avoid clouds in AE because they never really looked like I wanted them to. But these are pretty damn close to photoreal when layered and offset.
I'm really new to AE (I have done a couple of full courses...so much to learn...) I did manage to get some really nice clouds. Ive never used the camera function before and I got lost a few times, especially when trying to sweep up on the cloud to change camera position at 10 seconds but I just used the position handles (?) kept repeating the steps and got to the end of the tutorial. Really enjoyed it, very clear instructions.
Wow! That's the best and fastest way to create clouds which looks super 3D without even having to simulate & render in 3D for God knows how many hours or days even! The proximity operation blew my mind in the end! I never thought it was possible with AE to create such realistic clouds! Thank you so much❤❤❤❤
Thank Youuuuu!!! I have been working on a project to create fog/cloud with this effect for a few months. I've tried many different tuts and techniques but never managed to get it right until now!!! Really appreciate it and all the tricks and techniques you have shared are very helpful! Have a blessed day! Best regards from London !
Thank you! I'm making a video via photo compositing and After Effects animation and trying to make the scenes look less static so added some subtle moving clouds.
Really enjoyed this tutorial! Absolutely amazing. I know it must be time-consuming for you, but you have a subscriber for life, and would love to see more regular content from you. Thanks!
Very well thought out! 11 out of 10 for sure. It also renders very fast. I am doing a project where I need someone falling through clouds from the top view and this is going to work perfect.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I've been looking for ways to make animations in AE to accompany guided meditations and binaural beats, and this is finally pointing me into the right direction 👍
WTF! This is amazing. Although I could not follow the whole thing (my needs were satisfied quite early), I will definitely come back to this one some day. Awesome!
ThankQ so much from bottom of my ❤heart❤ bro..... i have spent lots of time to search perfect stock footage for my videos. you put the end for my search time with this video bro... thanks....
Hey, great tutorial! I think this is the best tutorial for fast cloud! I've searched something for blender, but this is 3000 time better and faster! For having the same effect in 3D you need to wait like a 30 min render for a frame!
hello! thanks for the tutorial, one quick question though: why after creating a composition around 0:43 with a BLACK background, later on it looks like it has a TRANSPARENT background?
Very helpful tutorial! Thanks very much. Can you tell me whether the animation of the clouds that is automated in your example can also be animated with keyframes? I want to create a loop. That's why I need a clear start and end point. So I should be able to set the shape at point A, then change the shape to point B and finally back to point A. Thank you.
This is the most comprehensive cloud tutorial in youtube
only needed the first half, but stayed to watch the second, the camera stuff was enlightening. Thanks a lot!
used tobe lol same
i had over 16 years in this field and i want to say this video is the best tutorial ever, made a real thing from scratch... wish all the best
your comment MADE MY DAY.....Thank you soo much
This feels so professional, and it is super beneficial to not have to search for the perfect stock footage. Thank you!!

2nd that
same here brother. we just gave up on using maya bifrost after this video.
The exact same thing is happening to me, for a week I have been looking at how to do it with C4D and I can not.
Amazing. Best Ae cloud tutorial.

Probably the best AE tuto I've seen so far. Thanks
This is the Best Tutorial Ever!!
Thank you so much, your calm voice and the speed of description are perfect to understand everything clear.
Excellent and thorough tutorial for a high quality effect. Also enjoyed the background music which is more than I can say for most other tutorials!
The way you start a video is how everyone should do it. SHOW what we'll get and EXPLAIN the process. Awesome!
Wow, the complexity in the adjustment layer adds so much. Thank you for making this!
I am glad to hear that. thank you.
Thank you for this awesome tutorial. This is the most realistic AE-generated cloud that I've ever seen! 🍻
The opactiy expression is really life saver
Thank Youuuuu!!! I have been working on a project to create fog/cloud with this effect for a few months. I've tried many different tuts and techniques but never managed to get it right until now!!! Really appreciate it and all the tricks and techniques you have shared are very helpful! Have a blessed day! Best regards from London !
Subscribed for that opacity expression alone, keep it up!
Thank you... your comment made my day ;)
Very nice and usable. Note: if you want to save CPU you can switch off the second Turbulent Displace, render time becomes less than half.
Probably the best tut on clouds I've found. Thanks for sharing!
Genius.....So humbling to see you work.....Thank you......You are really an AE master

hello! thanks for the tutorial, one quick question though: why after creating a composition around 0:43 with a BLACK background, later on it looks like it has a TRANSPARENT background?
lol never mind, I fount that button at the botton of the composition panel

That's why I need a clear start and end point. So I should be able to set the shape at point A, then change the shape to point B and finally back to point A. Thank you.
yes sure, you can just replace the expression in the evolution properties by the needed keyframes.
