Creating 2D Steam
Does anyone know how to replicate this kind of steaming beverage effect? I’ve tried a tutorial that involves putting shapes with various wiggle expressions into a comp and then blurring out that comp and using Alpha Curves to get the kind of metamorphosis effect, but it doesn’t look naturally ‘twisty’ like steam does.
Example:

Hi,
you could try this :
make a precomp with a few sets of particles flowing up and growing. one for left side, other for right side, others for little cirlces, etc)
Use black animated shapes (circles, rounded rectangles) as particles.add the fast blur/alpha curves effect on the precomp.
Under the precomp, make a white shape that represents the smoke without undulations and stencil it out with the precomp.
Good luck 😉

Hi,
The link was working…
Here’s a little project I put together quickly with the method I suggested. It still needs tweaking, but it could be a start :
