  • OneSize showreel effect – can this be done in AE?

    Posted by Dale Jackson on December 7, 2006 at 11:10 pm

    Hello,

    Does anyone know how they do this?

    To see the video go to: https://www.onesize.nl/
    Then go to the Show Reel 2006. It’s the animation at the beginning with the wispy ink-like lines in 3D virtual space with a light plywood like backdrop.

    You can also see this at youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToRb_jAEmUg

    The reason I’m asking on the AE forum, is because onesize say’s that they use Cinema 4D and After Effects in their work. And this style looks a whole lot like Andrew Kramer’s tutorial here on the Cow:
    https://forums.creativecow.net/cgi-bin/new_page_wrapper.cgi?forumid=1&page=https://www.creativecow.net/articles/kramer_andrew/nano/index.html

    The difference between Kramer’s and Onesize is of course the color and glow, I’m guessing, I’m not positive exactly if OneSize used AE Trapcode Particular to do this.

    Any experts in this area that can confirm this. Do you think that onesize used or looks like they used Trapcode Particular?

    I really like this style so much, I want to get that plugin, if it can mimick that style.

    thanks for any tips!!

    I’d say Cinema4d or AE with Trapcode’s Particular, because:

    – there’s no way AE can do that out of the box because the strokes displace in more than one plane
    – you can’t really control the stroke in three dimensions with Trapcode’s 3D stroke plugin

    Regarding Particular, they may have used a technique similar to the iPod tutorial on the COW, with the plywood board as the obscuration layer, but if there’s ever more than one layer obscuring the streams, it ain’t Particular, since Particular allows only one of those.

    It seems to me that most of one sizes work is done in true 3D and composited in AE (as well as text overlays). One size’s work looks almost exactly like joost’s work (https://renascent.nl/) and he does almost all his work in Max with AE just for compositing and text.

    Most likely 3D. Looks pretty much like a texturing technique I’m using in my C4D MoGraph iPod ad thingy (more polished of course). You certainly can do a simplified version of it with Particular, but it will be more difficult to control and it will lack the 3D-ishness due to the shading effects not being present.

    Hey guys, I can tell you we did this in c4d. Some one wrote a tutorial for it how to do it in c4d.
    Its not exactly the way we did it.. but it works just the same!
    Have fun!

    Rogier that’s it!!!

    Great link, thanks! Yes I work with Cinema 4D predominitely. Thanks for all the help, guys. That’s the style I was looking for. I’m just looking to capture that technique on a piece I want to do. Actually I’m more of a realist than a surrealist or abstract person. My thing is building mechanical or aircraft models in Cinema 4D. The technique that OneSize does stretches my limits, in the fact that I don’t usually think that way.
