  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ม.ค. 2021
  • A simple After Effects tutorial on how to easily achieve 2D cartoonish explosions and smoke effect. This method can also be used in order to give your After Effects animation a traditionally- animated look without animating it frame-by-frame.

  • @coenrens
    @coenrens 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Really, really cool tutorial. Great to see you get so much out of a simple circle animation, maintaining control while achieving a very traditional cel animation looking result. This could be applied to so many effects like this! Good inspiration, thank you!

    Could you use the roughen effect for easier "dissipation" of the smoke near the end?
