  • Looking for Several Effects

    Posted by Stewart Goldstein on August 1, 2005 at 11:35 pm

    I have After Effects 5.5 Production Bundle.

    Is there a way that I can simulate the following effects (without buying an $800 plug-in package):

    1. I need to wrap a world map around a circle to make it look spherical, and to make it look like the earth is rotating. (Unless someone simply knows where I can find a Quicktime of a rotating earth.)

    2. Is there a way to make “sparkles” on the screen? (a la “fairy dust”?)

    3. Is there a way to simulate flowing lava?

    4. Is there a way to simulate a “spraying” effect? (Say, if someone does a spit take, or the look of a spray can?)

    Thanks,
    Mike

    2. Particle Playground and Glow will do fairy dust very well.

    1. If you upgrade to AE 6.5 for a mere $99 you will get the CC effects thrown in free. You can use CC Sphere to turn images into 3D spheres. Also it has even more particle systems for your fairy dust.
