    Learn how to use motion paths and Trapcode Fluids to achieve the classic water bending effects from TRAPCODE ELEMENTS - The Last VFX Bender

    CG ASSETS: www.pond5.com/artist/cg_assets
    This tutorial is separated into two exercises, the first effect can be achieved in Trapcode Particular 3, while the second project benefits highly from the use of Trapcode Fluids. A brand new physics engine is included in version 4 but is only compatible with After Effects CC 2017 or later. Regardless of which version you choose, you’ll have a versatile fully procedural water simulation that can be adjusted on the fly directly inside of After Effects…

    I spend an incredible amount of time in Form...and with all respect for this amazing work:
    Once you see how fast you can render realflow in cinema with redshift AND you get (nearly) photorealistic stuff, you would not want to put in THIS work.
    Of course, if you have the freedom of choice and are blessed to use any tool.
    Still crazy outcome for just AE. You got some wicked skills and intuition.

      Use it for foam and splashed.
      You would save firing up REAL Realflow, tons of GB on you SSD and rendering with krakatoa.
      In some scenes and scenarios you should be able to get away with it.
      If you can dream it, you can render it!

      It looks amazing but it's just the price £600 - 700 imagine if you subscribe to the Creative Cloud and then pay roughly £500 for Trapcode Particular. It's another huge investment and learning curve for admittedly nice looking fluid sims.

    A good tutorial to couple this one would be to teach how to make water with mir and animate it to your liking. I’ve seen a few storm ones made with mir animations and I’ve been trying it myself but I can’t get it to come out the way I want it to. That tutorial would be heavily appreciated :)

    • @CGVisualsVFX
      @CGVisualsVFX  4 года назад

      Unfortunately, I haven't used Mir before but if you render something out you could probably use the same techniques for making water displacement in this tutorial. You can use CC plastic to fake specular reflections and set that layer to add. Have another layer set to Hard Light to make the water darker as needed and the Displacement Effect, just experiment!

      Sounds like you need to key out more of the transparency with a color range, just add a color range to the first liquid layer and increase the fuzziness setting to maybe 150. It's in the tutorial and I might upload the fluid projects like the water ball and the fire bending thing, just a bit busy with projects.

      Instead of separating dimensions and using the graph.

    Amazing work ! but i dont have the Water_droplets_on_lens.mov and he is not in the download file

      Yeah, the tutorial just covers the particle sim and the raindrops were added for demonstration. You could get something similar to the raindrops Video copilot tutorial. That (lens.mov) is actually one of the clips from our (paid) Water Blasts Pack: videohive.net/item/40-realistic-water-blasts/19832891

    the splash particles from the auxiliary menu don't show up. What can I do to fix this

      Test the issue by recreating the set-up in a separate project to see where things are going wrong. Try disabling everything except for the layer in questions and re-enable all of the effects one by one until you find the culprit.

    So if I want to frozen the water ( or the target ), what should I do ?

    • @CGVisualsVFX
      @CGVisualsVFX  5 лет назад

      Since I haven't done any tests with turning water into ice yet. I would probably have to elements, the animated water, and the frozen image or whatever you are trying to create. Then I would find a way to transition between the two elements. If I have any luck with tests I might do a video in the future.

    Nice tutorial but how do I make the trail shorter?

      With motion paths, particle life affects how long the water will travel along the path. But it's the emission rate that controls the length. Continuous emission will result in a long stream, on the other hand, if you only emitted particles on one frame it would look like a spurt of water.
