The Motion 5 update – do you feel excited?

[David Mathis]

For some reason 3D text reminds me of Live Type being brought back to life from a mad scientist. Evil laugh.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “please Mr. Simon, tell me say… five interesting, generally unthought of things, that can be initiated with the cloud generator, which I guess is basically fractal noise, that you might do. “

I know that my pronouncements are typically short on detail/evidence, so here’s a quick test I knocked up for you that shows how you might use the Clouds generator (alias Fractal Noise generator) to create flames:

If you use the exact same techniques in Ae, you’d get a seriously great effect, but the deficiencies of the Motion Clouds generator let this down quite badly.

I can’t say that these are especially interesting or unthought of cases but here are a few instances where I’ve used the Motion Clouds generator:

Nebula scene (how to try and add a bit of extra detail to the result and make up for the general crumminess of the generator): https://youtu.be/HjOubXh62fY

Atmospherics (subtle quasi-volumetric atmosphere): https://youtu.be/1dzwN5IdA1E

Volumetric fog (quasi-volumetric effect using multiple instances): https://youtu.be/VuBcAAJflX0

Organic wipe: https://youtu.be/IJ_XS_k_0OY

Shockwave (OK, so this isn’t using Clouds cos they’re rubbish, but it would have used them if they were better implemented): https://youtu.be/y77F3fX1rvU

Water: https://youtu.be/6MuiMDYhTQ8

Solar flares (again would have been massively improved if Clouds weren’t such pants): https://youtu.be/hC3R2yoRGzM
