Help with achieving this…
Does anybody have any ideas how i could achieve this background – https://www.bellman.co.uk/misc/background.jpg – in After Effects.
Basically i need to animate the swirls?
Any help appreciated … Thanks!

It’s pretty easy…looks like a radial gradient with a free plugin called “AE Flame” superimposed, maybe in additive mode. Here’s where the plugin lives:

The only downside is that the plugin, when animated, renders very slowly. Maybe allow for an overnight render. Good luck.

You can easily achieve such effects by creating a few masks, using the Stroke effect on them and then distort them with a bunch of effects. For radial distortions the Polar Coordinates filter is of special note.

I vote for aeflame, and even cooler in color. Way cool if you have a little time to render, much better with today’s faster computers. The site also has some smpale aep’s because otherwise aeflame is adjust then see what you get, not real predictible.

You may want to look into trapcode particuliar as well… The swirly lines look alot like the organic lines preset going head on into a camera.

Hi,
The KPT Plug-in “FraxFlame” for PS produces this too. You then import your ps file into AE and distort it with Turbulent Displace or any other effect.
