liquid emitation
hi all ,
a friend of mine came today and asked me, can i do an animated splash of paint but with “texture” of gel, to be more like Mac buttons , shooted from top view 😉 i was thinking about animated masks with some effects and so on , but i think there can be another solution , particles.so my question to all of ya people here is , can i make such thing with trapcode particular ? or maybe with some other plugin for AEF without using 3d_program like maya or else ?

Hey,
Of course you could do this in Maya, but that wouldn’t be so easy. Do a “Search Post” on the AAE Cow Forum, you’ll get plenty of explanations. That question comes a lot.
Hope that helped!

If you have AE 6.5 Pro you can probably get pretty close with CC Mr. Mercury. Using a solid color and playing with lighting a bit can give you a “paint texture”. Play around with the settings and adjust the keyframes of your birth rate until you have a convincing splash. It won’t be as realistic as 3D, but it will definitely get you pretty close. Good luck!

well ,
thanks for advice, but i have tryed few options by myself and found a mix of effects basicly based on particular effect quite good
here’s link to preview (5mb):

any ideas welcome =)

Yup thankyou Michael , it helped me much. Slash is quite nice, and i could use a cchair as a brush , what i couldn’t do with my previous version based on particular.

once again , hello all =)
first thing, that convention of liquid gel felt down to trashcan and new one is on. drop of paint falling on sheet of paper and then brushed out.
after few hours i have managed to get such result:
https://www.fsk.waw.pl/aef/mi6.movthere is still a lot of work with this funny project, specialy with speed but
there is one thing that absorbs my attention is how to get hairy brush stroke effect in aef , because now i have used photoshop to make it and i’m not satisfied with the final resolt. maybe someone have a solution for this 🙂Alek.
