Here is Kathlyn’s explanation of how to embed images at Creative COW.

Hey, world is small !!

Maybe you need a combination of that : https://www.thedesignworld.com/photoshop-tutorials/filter-effects/tentacles/
and that :

maybe you can create tentacles directly in AE (with the same method used in PS) to play with the distortion while they’re growing…

Do you need something realistic or more abstract ?

Hello mister Gobert…. World’s very small indeed…..

Thanks for the tuts, very helpfull…

I’ve havn’t had much time to look at it, but I will, and I let you know….

I need some rather abstract/graphic stuff.

Thanks again et porte toi bien

If you’re looking for abstract/ graphic forms, take a look at Evolution DVD : https://www.videocopilot.net/evolution.html
a lot of abstract elements and tutorials on how to use them — but it costs 95$…….

maybe you could design these abstract shapes with brushes in photoshop for example, like in this tutorial https://photoshop8x.com/view_tut.php?id=5… but may be it will be difficult to anime in AE, i don’t know

take also a look at tutorials here:
https://www.creativecow.net/articles/aftereffects.html

some use trapcode particular to create light streaks and abstract forms… if you can install this plug in, may be you could find something interesting there

EDIT: it seems this tutorial explains how to use CC Particle World to create streaks… maybe it could be useful for you: https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorial.html?id=29

do you have examples of some shapes you’d like to obtain ?
