Combining 2D & 3D Animation | Part 5: Animating in After Effects

FINALLY! We're at the animating part now hahaha. Since the animating part is a little chunky overall, I'm just covering animating the 2D portions in After Effects -- mostly just using a LoopOut ("pingpong") expression (for rotation and/or wiggle,) and CC Bend It effect on the stem precomps. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Get the full project file here: https://www.audreystemen.com/product-page/combining-2d-3d-project-file ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I use Notion for literally all of my planning for daily life stuff, freelance business planning, YouTube content, and especially personal creative projects! Get a Notion plan and invite your collaborators to make awesome stuff together 🔥 https://affiliate.notion.so/kbwc72lnensw ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What is an "animation pipeline?" It's a pretty awesome process when you understand who's involved and what their roles are amongst the production chaos. In this video I briefly walk through the key team members, their roles, and how they do play their part in the pipeline. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Looping Wiggle Expression (edit variables however needed): freq = 1; amp = 5; loopTime = thisComp.duration; t = time % loopTime; wiggle1 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t); wiggle2 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t - loopTime); linear(t, 0, loopTime, wiggle1, wiggle2) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 01:04 Precomposing Layers 02:01 Animate Individual Stem/Flower pieces 03:19 Bend It effect to precompostion 07:43 Timelapse of repeating steps 09:11 Final 2D background animation look 09:31 Outro Follow me on the socials!
