After Effect Project - How To Make A Wiggling Cord From Particles
After Effect Project | Tutorial | PC | Mac |174 MB
This tutorial will walk through how I simulated a cord dragging behind a car. Through using Trapcode Particular with a wiggling emitter, we can create the illusion of a single cord moving. We’ll add shading, motion blur, and a shadow to add realism.

How To Get The Best From Your DSLR While Using Twixtor
Today we’ll take a look at how to get the best results from DSLR footage while using Twixtor. We’re going to talk about what you can do to ensure that you have good footage to work with and also how to work with “less than perfect” footage as well! For Premium members, we have a special discount code available in the project files at tutsplus.com. It’s only valid through March 26, 2012 at the Re:Vision Webstore so check it out now!

Create A Beautifully Organic Coral-Like Animation
In this tutorial I will be explaining step by step how to create this organic opener. We will dive into the complex world of particles with Trapcode Particular, go over the Aux System as well as the shading. Creating the movement of particles will be done with a special expression that will create a controllable hierarchy.
Aetuts+ Hollywood Movie Title Series – Dredd
After Effect Project | Tutorial | PC | Mac | 218 MB
Today we’re going to be looking at the animation style of movie “Dredd”. At the end of this tutorial, you can learn how to composite and animate your own title with this cool style with the use of the fantastic Video Copilot Element 3d plug-in, all inside After Effects, with a little help from Cinema 4d. The actual example of the Dredd movie title is just for training purposes and is not to be used in a final project without permission from the original creators..

Cinema 4D: Creating an Abstract Animation With Effectors and Dynamics
In this tutorial we are going to use some MoGraph Cloners, Effectors and dynamics to make a pretty interesting and abstract animation. We are going to create a moving floor made out of cubes and some random geometric shapes that interact with the floor with the help of some dynamics. We are also going to do a quick compositing job in After Effects, to make the final render look even better.
Create a Valentine’s Day Themed Animation in Cinema 4D & After Effects
In this tutorial we are going to create a Valentine’s Day themed animation in Cinema 4D and After Effects. We’ll use particles and forces in Cinema 4D, as well as MoDynamics and Effectors to put everything together to create our final animation. Finally we’ll add materials, light and render the scene before finishing it up in After Effects with some compositing and post effects.
How To Create a Dr. Who Time And Space Vortex
In this tutorial we’ll be creating a Time & Space Vortex (like that used in Doctor Who) completely inside of After Effects. We will be using Trapcode Particular, and Trapcode Shine to create the vortex. Then I will teach you a vital Expression that drives the camera and completes the Effect. Once you have mastered the effect, you can personalize it to create whatever Time-Tunnel you desire! All of Time and Space awaits you…

After Effect Tutorial - Make An Amazing Motion Reactant Flame
Using just a few video elements of torch flames, we composite a burning hand by using a series of null objects and expressions to drive a time lagged displacement effect to simulate fire burning from a moving source. We use the Puppet tool for the distortion and throw on some tracked lighting effects and a displacement map for the Heat. This principle can be used to add realistic, fluid motion to any tracked object.

After Effect Tutorial - 12 HD Smoke Plume Simulations and Compositing Tutorial
This stock footage collection includes 12 HD clips of smoke plumes which you are free to use in your productions to crank the destruct-O-meter to eleven. Also included is a half hour tutorial which is full of tips on compositing the smoke.

After Effect Tutorial - Make Your Own “Watchmen” Bleeding Ink Face
This tutorial will cover how to set up Rorschach mask with tracking markers. These markers can then be used to generate a basic piece of geometry which will be tracked to the subjects face. Once tracked, a fractal noise “inkblot” can be UV mapped to the geometry. The last step will involve cleaning up the tracking markers for the final composite.

After Effect Tutorial - Create And Composite An Inverted 3D Windows 7 Screen
In this tutorial we’ll matchmove footage of a laptop and extrude the desktop back in z space to create 3D windows. We also use luma mattes in combination with depth maps to create realistic blurs.
Demo
After Effect Tutorial - Create The Classic Invisibility Effect
In this tutorial we’ll create an invisibility effect using 2D footage by displacing different alpha and luminance values. To transition the effect on and off we will generate a fractal pattern to combine with an additive dissolve.
Demo
After Effect Tutorial - Fantastic Facial Motion Capture
In this tutorial, I will be sharing with you how to achieve 2D facial motion capture in After Effects. The technique involves acquiring motion data from dots on a face, and using that motion data to manipulate the position of puppet pins on an image that you want to animate. It’s a very useful way of quickly creating detailed animations, and characterizing inanimate objects, like the rock face in the intro. It’s also possible to do face replacement.
After Effect Tutorial - LOTR Series: Creating The RingWraith
In this tutorial we’ll use a color difference key to give our footage a ghost like appearance. CG bones will also be composited, as well as some fake wind using displacement maps.
After Effect Tutorial - LOTR Series Mount Doom Lava
This tutorial will cover the process of creating a lava texture from fractal noise, utilizing luma mattes to give it depth. Using Trapcode Particular we will create blazing embers in 3D space and heat haze. In Maya we will use simple geometry to create gaps in the ground for the lava to appear below.

After Effect Tutorial - LOTR Series Mouth of Sauron
Today we’ll be turning an ordinary actor into the mouth of Sauron by enlarging the mouth and altering his complexion. Geometry tracking will also be used to composite a CG helmet onto their head.
