Falling Drops Tutorial

falling dropsAs promised, the Falling Drops tutorial is complete.


You won’t need a particle generator for this one when I get out my expression-based particle system tutorial, coming soon. I mention this in the tutorial; basically i’ve got in the making a particle generator made of expressions rather than by a plug-in, that i’ll demonstrate this effect with. For the purposes of the length of this tutorial the expression-based particle generator will be released in another tutorial, for this one we’re using Particular. But fear not, this effect will be completely demonstrated without the need for said plug-in as soon as the expression tutorial is complete, so look out for that.

  4. Hi,

    It’s an interesting tutorial. However, I realised that I couldn’t fine one of the files you used, from the other magic tutorial. Is it possible you posted links to the project files? The image in particular.

    Regards,

  5. Hi Joseph,

    I’ve been meaning to add a link to the image, it’s available now. Though you don’t have to use my texture, of course.

  6. Hey, I was wondering, how did you make the background image(texture) for the drops?

  7. Hi,

    It’s a modified still from my Magic tutorial. Basically, i took two ‘Magics’, doubled their velocity and set them to work at different angles and come in at different times. Added a lot of violent camera movement with motion blur, applied a hue adjustment for the colour, and added some fractal noise to roughen things up a bit.

    The finished clip looked like this http://rhys-works.com/media/inside-drop – though the compression takes out a bit of the detail.

  8. Hi there!

    I’m stuck. Where do I get CC Sphere from? My AE doesn’t have it…

    Thank you!

  9. Hi Cristina,

    The CyCore effects ship with After Effects as a package of third party plugins. With some versions of AE you have to install them from your installation CD, they may be in a folder of their own.
