  • Liquify a Continuously Rasterized layer

    Posted by Dustin Parsons on June 17, 2016 at 5:12 pm

    Obviously it’s not possible to Liquify a layer that is being Continuously Rasterized but I need to figure out some way of faking it then. So far I’ve had no luck. Is there ANY distortion I could use that would be similar to Liquify that works with Continuous Rasterization?

    Thanks!

    A possible solution is to prerender the layer.

    Alternatively, you could precompose your continuously rasterized layer (moving all attributes, of course) and apply liquefy to the precomp.

    Thanks for all the help! I ended up pulling the image out of the Precomp it was in, scaling it to when it’s largest/closest to the camera, Precomping it on it’s own, deselecting Continuous Rasterization on the Precomp, parenting it to the Precomp it was previously in, and then liquifying.
