  • In this video, I explain and show every step to create realistic lighting, reflections and shading to composite a 2D animation to a real-world environment using Adobe After Effects. I cover hot to apply form shading, shadows, highlights, rim lighting, reactive reflections and looping shadows cast by environmental changes.

    This looks like it came straight out of a scene from _Amazing World of Gumball,_ and the art style can tell otherwise.

      family members yes but other than that no
      so it fits, even without a stroke

    One thing - in my experience "Fill" is alot slower then "tint". In bigger comps i recommend using tint with the same color in both boxs
    Also shadow layer on "darken" will probably give a more realistic results because real shadows dont go darker when they are combined
    I love this channel! Thank you!

    Maybe another tip: instead of animating the shading -> i often use the background material, duplicate it, fast blur it quite heavily, so that it still has the color(changes) or things like moving shadows and than use the object as mask and put it above it... Than play with opacity and layer styles... This gives the object the colors if the surrounding areas and even colorchanges like shadows affect the color without much work.
    Another Pro Tip: another duplicate of the background layer, make it Black and white and use levels/contrast etc. to adjust the grayscale -> use this layer as displacement map for the reflection. So while not completely realistic you can use the Background to distort the reflection a bit (not to much because it will break the effect). This way you often (not always) get a bit more realistic reflection

    I know all the procedures... but love watching it from start to finish... :) My only suggestion is when you animated the chicken you can auto motion blur it on edit so you don't need to fake the motion blur and activate motion blur tick box, so the chicken have motion blur again attached on the null during camera shake. Love your scene... so cute.
