  • foot-mark like inprint of text into layer

    Posted by Mirek on December 6, 2005 at 3:24 pm

    Hello ,
    I am willing to do a text that is pushed-in in the sand as a foot mark.
    How to do it or what effect or transfer mode to use ?
    Thanks in advance

    I’m trying to envision this and having trouble. I’d say you can create these footprints textoids in a program outside of AE like Photoshop or illustrator. Illustrator specifically is good at allowing you to interact with text shapes. Anyway, so make a footprint shaped text, bring it into AE and set it’s mode to multiply over a sand looking layer. Then you can use masks to fade in first the heel then the rest of the foot to make it work like a person stepping naturally. That’s as far as I’d wager AE can go.
