70. Speed Particles
July 19, 2008
• Use expressions to drive particles based on speed
• Create sandy like particles that fly off of text
Additional Tutorial Notes:
After you make this design, precompose and time-reverse the layer. Very interesting result.

hai krammer, after a long time i'am visiting your page

still your blog looks too young, with fresh contents...thank

A suggestion to krammer...just collect the most astonishing scenes from the vfx movies and just give ideas and way to implement the vfx shots to us..
u could run this site as a new blog..i'am trying to implement this.. if so i would tell you..but such a blog from a master like u would be more usefull to the vfx artists..

thanks kramer

But who cares, right? Punctuation is for nerds.

very good Andrew, super super
by Morten Enoksen 07/20/2008
This tut, and the previous ones, was one of the ebst tutorials I've seen on VCP;)

Just a tip to you and/or the viewers.

If you're tired of the wiggle effect. Try using Motion sketch!
Motion sketch can either capture the movement of your mouse, or you can pickwhip a real-footage that is tracked, to the motion sketch null, and voila! YOu've got reallife movement!!
by Ellius 07/20/2008

Hey! I was watching this in a starbucks!!!. ....... ...where is my life going!?........ *sigh* .... i am a very sad man......

(Great Tut! as always top notch, thank you very much for all the time you put into the tuts.)
by Peter 07/20/2008
Great stuff as usual! But wouldn't it be more physically accurate to use the actual acceleration of the layer to drive the emission rate of the particles, rather than checking if the speed exceeds a certain value?

I haven't used AE much yet, but if it doesn't offer an easy expression to obtain the acceleration (like "layer.position.acceleration" or something like that), you could easily approximate it by subtracting the speed at the previous frame from the speed at the current frame.
by danny 07/20/2008
wow your humour has reached an all time new level..

first at the expense of starbucks employees, then insulting coders

What has caused this sudden turn of humour?

I still love you deeply though

hey, another suggestion for using the speed expression is you could film a passenger bus and once it hits a certain speed, say 50 MPH, a bomb activates and the bus has to stay going at least 50 MPH or the bus explodes.

just an idea...

anyway, this tutorial is really cool. i'm trying to learn more about expressions so please keep it up. i love the site.
by Lthrboots 07/21/2008

Oh yeah, the "sob story" with music in the intro had me rolling on the floor....I love your sense of humor....
by Degrath 07/21/2008

by Mohamed 07/26/2008
Brillant idea!
This can be used to do some really nice effects on spatial engine gaining speed and when they reach a certain speed they start emiting partciles and changing their aspect.
Talking about speed, guyz look at the speed at it Andrew is manipulating and working with AE tools and the smart youse of shortcuts keyboard.
I need 35 years to become like you :(
Great Job! And thanks again Andrew!

Nice tutorial.

@ Nergas:
Just go to Edit > Preferences > User-Interface Colors and turn down the user-interface brightness.
by tom 07/26/2008
Hi Andrew
Do you give lessons in after effects? Your tutorials are great and I would realy like to understand aftereffects as good as you.

The part with the lessons was not a joke, I'm realy interessted.
by Michael 07/26/2008
Nice tutorial. I'm trying to learn so I can use it for some of my club's presentation. But there is some problem I always encounter. The expressions I type keep "breaking up". The particular suddenly stops following the expression and keeps emitting particles. Then I have to retype it again. Then breaks up again. HOw can i solve this?

by Ashriel 07/27/2008
Andrew - superb job on the latest and greatest of your tutorials. You are a very gifted teacher, and I only wish others could be as helpful and masterful as you.

Nergas (a few comments up) - go into Edit>Preferences>User Interface Colors and drag your "Brightness" bar around.

by Khambrel Lewis 07/27/2008
Andrew,

I think you should come to the Savannah College of Art and Designs inspire conference next year! I think you would really inspire a lot of us students to really dig deep into after effects and create some great work.
by Dan 07/27/2008
@ Nergas

Go to the Edit > Preferences > User Interface Colours

Then just slide the Brightness control down

Hope this helps....

Oh and Andrew Kramer sir.... yet another excellent piece of mastery.

Thanks,

Dan from across the pond

Andrew,

Love the tutorials. I'll soon have to break the bank on your products.

Thanks,

Nergas,

In Windows, look under edit, preferences, user interface colors. In Mac, under After Effects, preferences, user interface colors, I believe.

by Oczkowski 07/28/2008
Great tutorial as always.

I had the same thought as Peter (way above) that using acceleration rather than speed to drive the emitting could be useful. Can you think of a way to do that?
