  Particles

  Posted by Jaime Lackner on September 7, 2007 at 4:53 pm

  Hello,
  I have a client that wants a background with moving bubbles sort of like how it is here in this website below:

  http://www.onyx.com

  Can someone tell me how to accomplish this with After Effects without the use of Trapcode’s Particular. I don’t have Particle Illusion either.

  Thanks so much in advance!
  Jaime

  They kinda look like circles to me, but one simple approach to making a bubble is to use the “Circle” effect on a solid and use these settings:

  Radius: 150
  Edge: Thickness
  Thickness:0.0
  Feather Outer: 0.0
  Feather Inner: 80.0

  Then on the position, apply a simple wiggle:

  wiggle(1, 200)

  Just duplicate away, and this should be pretty close.

  Maybe use a 3D camera to get some shallow focus for the effect,.

  I’d start with the CC Bubbles effect, which is one of the Cycore effects that comes with After Effects.
