Playing with toComp() to offset anchor points. It makes the circle layers pack toward the mask center, kinda like the Apple Watch menu inside After Effects.

🟢Substance Painter Tip With "Anchor Points" you can link layers together (e.g. use one layer as a mask for another), which makes workflows much faster. Example: You have a shadow layer and want to add an outline around it. Instead of repainting the outline every time you change the shadows, use an Anchor Point: 1. Add an Anchor Point to the shadow layer 2. Add a Fill Filter for the shadow outline layer 3. For the Fill grayscale, select the Anchor Point 4. Add a "Mask Outline" filter 5. If you paint new shadows now, the outline will adjust automatically!

Rather than aligning layers on the points, I noticed that placing them between the points actually gives a neat way to control horizontal constraints in After Effects. 🤯

[Update] TimeOffset 1.4 new ui rebuilt, simpler, faster ! - It allows you to offset the timing of keyframes and layers before and after the time cursor, so you can easily fine-tune your edits. Get it here: #ae #script Adobe After Effects Teaser:

CSS macOS style dock nav with sub-menu 🤙 :has() for magnification ✅ [popover] for the sub-menu ✅ anchor() to tether the menu ✅ offset-path to put items on the curve ✅ linear() for the springy transition ✅ Combining cool APIs to create common UI patterns without JS ⭐️

CSS Tip! ✨ It's 2024 and you have a new way to make animated borders 🚀 .glow::after { offset-path: rect(0 100% 100% 0 round var(--radius)); animation: loop; } @​keyframes loop { to { offset-distance: 100%; }} Using the offset-* properties you can animate elements along the perimeter of others 😍 The rect() value gained support in Safari 17.2 🙌 To start, you create an element and put it inside your main element. For example, you put a span inside the button 🤙 Click me! Make the element fill its parent with absolute positioning and inset [data-glow] { position: absolute; inset: 0; } Now the good part, you use a pseudoelement on that element and define an offset-path [data-glow]::after { content: ""; offset-path: rect(0 auto auto 0 round var(--radius)); animation: loop 2.6s infinite linear; } With the rect value, you are saying the path fills the parent container: top: 0 right: auto || 100% bottom: auto || 100% left: 0 Then you can use round to make sure the path uses the same radius as whatever the parent has The @​keyframes animation merely animates the offset-distance of that pseudoelement to 100% @​keyframes loop { to { offset-distance: 100%; }} You can see this more clearly in the video 🫶 The offset-* properties also include an offset-anchor property. This allows you to dictate which point of the element follows the path. For example: anchor-offset: 100% 50%; This means that the "right, center" of the element will follow the perimeter of the parent element 🤙 Lastly, the visuals 🎨 For color, you can use a gradient such as a linear gradient to fill the pseudo-element. [data-glow]::after { background: radial-gradient( circle at right, hsl(320 90% 100%), transparent 50% ); } Then clip away everything so you only have the border and can still have translucent backgrounds, etc. Use a mask with mask-composite ✨ A little transparent border trick: [data-glow] { border: 2px solid transparent; mask: linear-gradient(transparent, transparent), linear-gradient(white, white); mask-clip: padding-box, border-box; mask-composite: intersect; } Bit of a long one. Hope you find it useful 🙏 CodePen.IO link below 👇

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.

Future CSS Tip! 🔮 You can anchor an element to multiple elements with anchor positioning .anchored { top: anchor(--a-1 bottom); left: anchor(--a-2 right); } Combine it with CSS mask to create some "Supercharged CSS ⚡️" Watch the debug below 👀 CodePen.IO link below! 👇

Here is a breakdown. Line and color layers are basically glued together with the line fill being on top of color and having the color layers as inverse mask The setup is a little bit convoluted but it serves it's specific purpose for the shading effects #Live2D

Hair progress~ 💇 Almost all the hair layers are in front of the face, which makes the side kinda tricky when turning the head. 😣Don't wanna stretch the layers too wide and mess up the shapes. Might tweak it later!✨ #Live2D #Live2DWIP
