where did you get the starfield static preset?
by drkim 02/17/2009
Great tut! I found as you decrease the particle gravity (deeper into the minus range) you get more of an underwater bubble effect.

Can't wait to mix this type of look with caustics!

Thanks Andrew.

by wom 01/21/2009
in spanish set the preset like this


Radius = effect("Radius")("Deslizador");
Speed = effect("Speed")("Deslizador");
RotationOffset = effect("Rotation Offset")("Ángulo");

//

center = [this_comp.width/2,this_comp.height/2,0];
radius = 200;
angle = time * Speed RotationOffset;
x = Radius * Math.cos(degreesToRadians(angle));
z = Radius * Math.sin(degreesToRadians(angle));
add(center, [x,0,z]);

((Atencion con las mayusculas y las tildes))

Thanks for the tutorial!

Really great stuff, and way to use dark grey, instead of black ;)
by Matthew 12/06/2008
Hi Guys!

To Everybody who has the Error after trying to active the Orbit Preset for the Null Object.

Thats because your Version thats currently running is not the english version. It has to be the english version because else the expressions are different and the preset cannot be activated.

Thank you very much for this site, I’m just getting started at AF and I found it very useful. I'm following the getting started tutorial and it's great. And above all here and there you make ironic still hilarious jokes that get the thing going. Again thank you so much for the free tutorials and presets (I know you love each and everyone of us for our outside jajaja).

Hi Andy ... you've come out with some really cool lookin' tutorials. Just one request. Could you maybe provide links to any and all the tutorials for download (offline viewing)? I'm from India and we don't exactly have fast net connections down here. I'm goin' blind straining my eyes while I'm waiting for the tuts to load. :)

Besides ... I feel there'll be a lot of other users like me who'd appreciate having the tuts sitting on their hard drives to refer to whenever they want to.

Thx dude. You rock ! Honestly !!!!

hello ... I have been following your tutorials ... and thanks. I afters efects CS3 installed, but in your third tutorial "keying and transparency" I can not find that option ... not find it on my software installed. I wonder if you can help in that regard?

I buy most of your products ... but first of all, I want to prepare and save money.

Besides, you have a collection of backgrunds, jpg etc. ... you use to the different compositions animated you do ....

I need to know ... if your products have some jpg or backgraunds etc. ...??? for use or if you know any website available that can give me some? and know how to install them or save them ...



The website is excellent! thanks
