Here it is! A brand NEW Tutorial! Wow snap. Let me tell you it, feels good to get stuff finished and I look forward to show you all of the things we have been working on!

New Tutorial Features:

• Procedural Glitch design
• Build a realistic reflective surface 100% inside AE!
• Unique Color glow procedure
• Ability to animate between different titles

Watch on Youtube in HD!

Project files and Texture!

Technical Rendering Note: I've heard some people having issues with Fractal Noise not rendering correctly and I think you need to disable GPU Acceleration for the Project. File>Project Settings, "Mercury Software Only". Hope that helps!

Let's keep the momentum going! A new tutorial for Monday will explore a new technique that can be used to create interesting FX like this Stretchy Glitch with only built-in plug-ins. This combination offers a ton of variety and customization compared to typical RGB splitting techniques.

Plus the reflective floor trick is 100% AE too and will workfor anything!

Making circuits! After trying to create something large, I thought I should try to make something small!

I started by taking a circuitry texture and placing it on a plane in Element 3D. I used the texture in the Glossiness channeland the reflection channel to give the pathways a metalic look. Next I built the circuits using various primitives like box and cylinder at various sizes and placed them around the board near the components of the texture. I couldn't help myself and I ended up adding some motion design elements like the power core and microchips. It's amazing how some random object suddenly looks like a fancy heatsink (heat-sync?) in the right context.

And finally for the micro look, I turned on some camera depth of field!

I've included thecircuit texturebelow so you can try it out!

Just having some fun with that rooftop texture! If you are in to rooftops, check out our free model pack and tutorial!

For the reflection, I used the mirror reflection features to give it that classic car commercial glaze! The recent tutorial covers this technique in detail so please check it out!
