It’s been about about 3 years now – I hope I’ll keep finding it fun! I started with web design, did some print and illustration. Looking for something more I switched to animation. I’m not sure how it might affect my work, perhaps it makes me more detailed oriented.Īlso I love working with textures, old paper and so on, you might see more of that in the upcoming months when I make more still images ! Did you start as an illustrator and move into animation? I have a Masters in Fine Arts and even if I’m a fan of computer-generated images, I guess my traditional background brings out a certain style. I’ve heard this before, and maybe it’s true. How does that affect or shape the way you work on a computer? You are also an accomplished illustrator, which is a very traditional and tactile process compared to animation. I’m still exploring, but I’ve already got some really nice images from it! Oh, and I don’t know if they really count as plugins, but Motion2, Get sh_t done and Duik are some of the best tools out there! There are so many features and levels of controls.
AFTER EFFECTS TRAPCODE PARTICULAR AND ELEMENT 3D PRO
I’m experimenting with FreeForm Pro and I’m enjoying it. I’ve just started using Mettle plugins, but right away I saw how to improve my results with Skybox- it’s essential when working with E3D. Sometimes it results in projects that get widely viewed and shared, like my Trapcode Paint Splatter project on Red Giant. It’s gotten even better with the version 2.2! I like experimenting.
I work mainly with Particular and Form, sometimes with Mir, and universe has a lot of useful tools. I’ve been in love with Trapcode plugins for at least a year now, as anyone following my work can easily see.
And most importantly, it brings reflections of Particular or AE basic 3D layers directly onto Element 3D! No more fake reflections from custom comps! What are your favorite plug-ins to work with? It’s not that much work as it just uses a duplicate of my main comp, and it blends everything together for the lighting. The main difference for me is that instead of using the Element 3D basic environment, I was able to make and use a custom environment. Skybox is pivotal for this project, as I really wanted to work on reflections and light from the particles and the environment/stars. How does SkyBox fit into your workflow for this project? E3D also imports material, so I just had to tweak the reflection/refraction and some of the materials, but it was a matter of minutes. Importing it into Element 3D was pretty easy.
How did you bring the astronaut model into your comp? I love having everything in the same software. I love a workflow without real compositing, where everything already blends and interacts together. I had just downloaded Skybox to give it a try, so it was a lucky coincidence. I used SkyBox for the reflections and lighting. This time I wasn’t actually trying to recreate the titles with another technique, I’m just a space and science-fiction fan who couldn’t resist the free astronaut model! It also fit with some ideas I wanted to try out – blending Element 3D and Particular. I already worked on a project last year after seeing MK12’s piece, which you can read about here. Well, I’ve always been a fan of Semi-Permanent titles, they seem to allow designers a lot of freedom to explore what they have in mind. How did you decide what to do with the Raoul Marks astronaut file? Q&A with Claude Autret Claude, your Spaceman project obviously draws inspiration from Semi-Permanent 2015.
