Create a Wormhole Particle Tunnel in After Effects

This tutorial shows you how to fly a camera down a 3D motion path.

Wormholes are cool and a sci-fi staple. You’d expect to create your own versions you’d need a full 3D package with particle generation, but in this tutorial, I demonstrate how you can use a few null objects, some simple expressions and CC Particle World to create a dynamic, flexible, adaptable tunnel of particles that renders in minutes. All in #AfterEffects with no plugins.

The texture for the particles comes from a precomp which makes it “super easy barely an inconvenience” to swap in different tunnel textures.
