  • need to create a goopy chocolate wipe

    Posted by Heather Crank on February 29, 2012 at 11:28 pm

    I need to create some liquid chocolate that wipes across the page in a drippy goopy way…think oozzzing chocolate…has anyone ever done this? Did you use ae and a plug in or did you use a 3-d program?

    Right now I have something using fractal noise and masks, but it looks more that a satiny fabric instead of goopy. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Here’s a tutorial about making the fractal noise look like liquid that might help.

    Take a look at cc mr mercury or cc glue gun applied to a chocolate brown layer.

    Also a drippy mask with cc glass may start getting close. You may need to apply cc glass as an adjustment layer, I’m not sure it sees the mask as a layer’s alpha if applied directly.

    You might want to take a look at this tutorial using Freeform to create a waterbox, you probably could adapt it to your needs:
