  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 เม.ย. 2021
  • Greetings from Kumandra! We’ve just released our resident Action Movie Dad’s latest tutorial, showing you how to recreate the organic look of the Druun from “Raya and the Last Dragon” entirely within Adobe After Effects! (With and without plugins!)
    In this tutorial, Daniel “Hashi” Hashimoto will show how the fractal family of filters can combine with CC Sphere to create volumetric and chaotic smoke and slime - and a unique way to utilize the Essential Graphics panel for visual effects - all with native AE effects!
    Or, if you want to do it WAY FASTER, Hashi shows how to utilize Trapcode Form, Universe, and Supercomp to create and composite a Druun into your scene in record time.

    Anytime I can try pulling off something in 100% After Effects, I have a really fun time. Also, it really piles up as evidence of insanity.

    Hey man, this was fantastic. Massive appreciation for diving in and messing with the stock AE items. Really smacks of the old VC tutorials, and your little homage to that at the beginning put a smile on my face. I've been working in AE for a long time and I still absolutely learned quite a bit and got refreshed on a lot too.

    I got MAXON ONE early 2021 and have been binge watching these red giant tutorials. I watch them as I do the treadmill, and its really helpful. My personal favorite series of tutorials are the Cheap Tricks ones because they pack so much information in a small amount of time, and they're really fun to watch.
