how are you getting sine waves in Ae??? ive tried so hard to figure this out on my own and even tried that super expensive plugin and wasnt even that happy with it :/

I will give you as much money as you want if you make an expression course. I know you have a book but watching you teach all of this would be so dope

Hehe, thank you for your support! 🙏 I'll definitely keep you posted once I release something.

He lives in the future. I don't even know how he added a gradient on that stroke...

Here's a little behind-the-scenes look at how the waveform rig works in After Effects: It simply subdivides a path, and the mask controls the amplitude of the points based on the distance.

I thought it would be interesting to repost this one to show how a layer can be oriented to a path in After Effects (plus a little scale constraint within a mask).

Fast Fourier Analysis in action. Any complex waveform, sound, or shape can be perfectly reconstructed as the sum of simple rotating circles (epicycles).

Cursor for Animation? Yes. Yesterday I learned that you can use cursor to create After Effects Animations. Today, I learned that it might be better to use a simple html file instead of After Effects. (there are pros and cons) Here is a simple video showing how to get started: TimeStamps 00:00 Intro 00:54 Cursor only (html js) 10:30 Cursor + After Effects Tomorrow we're actually going to try and make some INSANE STUFF.

This is how i rigged the character in After Effects. The rig was simple and there were a lot of VFX so i went with Ae instead of Spine2D.

Offset anchor point based on the mask distance: the layers respond as if the mask repels them, creating dynamic movement in After Effects.

So stoked to finally share my new PLUGIN for After Effects: Wave The Path. Waveforms along paths, zero setup. Pick one path to generate the waveform, and use a second path to control where and how the waveform appears. What really surprised me is how responsive it is. GPU accelerated, blazing fast, instant feedback. It’s honestly super fun to use. Alright, a few examples 👇👇👇 (the waveform rotation feature is a treat)

Many people don't know this, but poiyomi has global masks that can be used anywhere in the shader. You can save performance by reusing one mask or using an effect as a mask. In this example, I'm using a decal as a mask for a skybox.
