Wrapping Up 2021 & Behind-the-Scenes Video!
Added 2021-12-30 19:30:37 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
Hope the year is wrapping up nicely for you and you’re looking forward to 2022! Let’s see if this decade can manage anything like a normal year…
I’m mixing it up for the end of the year with a Patreon-only video update! A little behind-the-scenes here at the lab and of course a huge thank you for your support. Here’s a link!

A quick run through of what’s new this month:
TUTORIALS
Animated Ink Effect in After Effects

Back in After Effects with a simple setup that’s lots of fun to experiment with. For the Photoshop-only folks, might still be interesting to watch, as many of the same principles apply.

And of course the Photoshop tutorial from just a few days ago - which, as it happens, makes a pretty cool setup with a little finagling to get it working in After Effects!
TEXTURES
Lots of rain around here this month, so I ran with an indoor theme and worked on torn paper and collage elements. Several of the paper overlays may look a bit dark since they’re not bright white, but they are actually balanced to 50% grey for contrast blending modes. For that wheat-paste poster look, try em out with Hard Light!



Lots of new stuff in the works for the new year... I’m looking forward to it.
All my best to you, and Happy New Year!
Cheers,
Brady
