growing vectors and type animation
Hi,
I keep seeing aftereffects work that uses vectors that seem to grow and develop, such as lines or type that evolve taking you seamlessly from one ‘space to another’. often using 3d cameras to create fly through effects and changes of scale.One is example is this posted on the cow reels ‘section’.

(esp. the type stuff at the start)
Does anyone have any tips on artwork preparation, or workflow for this sort of thing? Any good tutorials that looks at this type of motion design?
Its really the seamless flow from one composition to another that I want to work out…as I’m struggling to get this kind of look. Does it involve using very large vectors that you pan around, so you are only seeing a portion of the image?Any ideas greatly appreciated!

Dave’s right. Lots of planning is your key. And he’s also right about vectors. You can make them as tiny as you want; they’re vectors you can scale them up until they’re as big as God Himself and they’ll still be crisp and clean.
I found a tutorial that you might find useful as well. It was posted about four years ago when the growing things were really popular: https://library.creativecow.net/articles/hansen_jaysen/growing.php

Some of the required techniques are demonstrated in a series of 3 tutorials on aetuts.
