  Was there a tutorial…

  I remember seeing a tutorial somewhere (I believe it was a text based article) where you had a row of dots that was replicated to form a grid. This grid then bent on a sine type wave and the dots rotated in 3D space accordingly to the wave, so the first dot was flat and as you trailed down the line they flipped so all you saw was the edge of the circles. I remeber the dots being of a reddish hue on a lighter red background. Over time the dots followed there leader and bent and contored to be almost a fluttering wave.

  Has anyone else come across this tutorial I’m describing? I’ve gone through all my AE books and checked here. I think it would be a cool effect that I could adopt and tweak for my project but I can’t remember if it was done with expressions or not. I also can’t remember if it started with one circle and was replicated in AE or if it was a row or a whole grid.

  This sounds like something Dan Ebberts may have done. Perhaps, you’ll want to post at the COW’s AE Expressions forum.

  Good Luck!
