About the video: Step Repetition: Working with Effects and Layers
Overview
“Building off the step repetition technique, I will now show you how to implement this with fractal noise textures to generate a tunnel of digital blocks.”
In this video lesson Desmond Du addresses the topic: Step Repetition: Working with Effects and Layers, which is part of the Domestika online course: Advanced After Effects: Coding for Motion Design. Take your motion design skills to the next level by learning to code expressions with JavaScript to create complex animation rigs with style.
Partial transcription of the video
“In this lesson, we'll learn how to generate a series of fractanoids texture And then we'll build off the step repetition technique that we learned in the past two lessons to generate a tunnel of digital blocks. So let me show you how. So what we can do is to go into our pre-con folder and then just hit Command N. And let's call this text underscore and it's got its Fractal Noise, usually I just type in Fn We're going to create a solid by hitting Command Y. The color doesn't matter. we're going to go to effects and preset panel and type in fractal noise and double click on it To get the bloc...”
