50. Skin Displacement
October 31, 2007
• Simulate the look of bugs crawling under the skin
• Use displacement mapping and color correction
• Use displacement mapping and color correction
Additional Tutorial Notes:
Special Note: EXPERIMENT! Be sure to play with the matte layer by changing the size of the bugs and the opacity to increase or decrease the displacement amount. This way you can make some bugs that extrude more and others less.

Nice dude, I love you.
As soon as the school bell rang, I hopped up on my bike and peddled as fast and as recklessly as I could
Happy Halloween,

P.S - Maybe Sam should get those bugs checked out. I mean...like 4 bugs partying in your brain...not good.
Reminds me of Grindhouse: Planet Terror when the little bulges and popping bubbles happen! Really cool!

I've always wanted to do the Matrix "morph" where neo jumps inside of Smith or something, and Smith's face gets displaced just like Sam's face in this tutorial. And now thanks to Andrew Kramer I'm finally able to, thanks a lot man!

Hope the nex tuto is a freeze man ( Terminator 2)

Could you create a bug in a 3D program, and use that as the bug. That way you could have it coming out of the skin aswell. Would that work?
But how could you do it to make it appear as if one of the bugs breaks through the skin and crawls on the face back into the nose or mouth or back through the same hole?? Just an idea. Again thanks your a great teacher.

i tried using particular to create the same effect used in the movie, Mummy... Bugs from out of the mouth....
Precision wasnt even 50% of tht of andrew's... but the idea kinda worked out well...
Andrew if u can, see if u could help us with a tut if time permits with something similar.(need more professional help)....
you went way and beyond, so it got difficult to follow. I hate that displacement map, and track matte stuff....Great tutorial though, i will be trying it soon
RESPECT ANDREW RESPECT
I knew that is was coming today. :)
This is great!
Just hope he pays Sam for all his acting
I say we start an "Oscar for Sam" campaign

From Brazil thanks
I got a little extra to add:
You could make another adjustment layer and add a skin texture to it, then mask it with the layer your already using for masking, and that will also help for making the bugs not too "glossy"
Fantastic, really great stuff!!!

Your AE runs so fast. What hardware do you use?
Sometimes being able to come up with new and unique effects, requires an inspirational nudge or two. You cannot go through these tutorials without feeling inspired. So thank you for your hard work. I'm sure everyone here would agree that it is very much appreciated.
Sou aqui do Brasil, e adoro este site, tenho me esforçado para aprender After esse espetacular software... Agora ajudaria muito se este site fosse em português em. hahah
Abraços a todos os criativos da Copilot.

Unfortunately, I don't have CS3, so is there a way to simulate the CC Glass or alternative plug-in I could get?
