Creating a spray paint effect
Posted by Preetib on March 21, 2007 at 9:43 pmHello again.
Thanks for the tutorial for stencil effect was very useful. I would like to know how to create a spray paint effect on a canvas.David Bogie replied 19 years, 1 month ago 3 Members · 4 Replies -

March 21, 2007 at 11:02 pmI am not sure what you mean by “on a canvas”? You can create a layer in Photoshop to look like canvas, or take a picture of a piece of canvas. To make the effect work on a “canvas on the wall” as opposed to something on the floor, just change the physics. You can download a trial version of Particular if you do not have it.
Maybe AE’s Particle Playground can do the same effect.

March 22, 2007 at 5:39 pmI was able to create a realistic spray paint over a stencil. However, when I animated the stencil lifting off of the paper, the paint particles then passed through the stencil and stayed on the canvas. There may be some type of setting to make it do what you want. I did not have that much time to mess with it.
I figured if I really had to do the effect, I could save the final frame as a PSD file (after the paint stopped spraying). Then go to Photoshop, cut the stencil out onto its own layer, import that layer back into AE as a 3d layer. Then animated that layer to lift off after the original layers opacity is taken to 0. You would also have to do the same thing with the canvas. I did not go through this entire process, but it should work.
I am sure there is an easier way. I tend to find the hardest ways to do just about anything.
I think particle playground is only in the Pro version of AE. I may be wrong on that. You can find it under EFFECT > SIMULATION > PARTICLE PLAYGROUND. I don’t know if it will work as well as Particular.
