  • Fractal effect on Mask

    Posted by Nathan Wilkes on July 24, 2017 at 8:37 pm

    Hey folks,

    Hoping you’re able to help me out. I’m trying to create a fractal effect around the outline of a custom shape I’ve got. So that the edges look like the below picture.

    I’m currently using a mask on a solid and have tried using AE’s own Generate>Fractal effect as well as AEScript’s FractalMapper. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m most definitely no expert when it comes to generating fractal effects so if I’m doing something wrong or there’s an obvious solution, please do let me know, I probably haven’t tried it.

    Many thanks

    Nathan

    I’m currently using the mask to create the specific shape I’m going for. I want the edges of that shape to look all distorted and broken up like in the above picture.

    Yeah, that’s what I’m using at the moment.

    How complex is your shape?

    It’s a silhouette of a walking man so it’s moving and what not.
