Age effect in After Effects and Mocha Pro 2021 (Power Mesh Tutorial)

[@zakyworld2697]

i have no idea why, but hearing your voice just makes feel soothed.

[@flo.motion]

yeah!!

[@Highcastle_of_Tone]

The comparison of the corner pin versus the mesh is a great example of how powerful Mocha has become. This really is a groundbreaking development.

[@flo.motion]

It really is groundbreaking! I don't know how we all have done it before... really...

[@StackzaMill]

you should break it all the way down , how did u do the grid with the examples?

[@flo.motion]

Hey. The grid is just to see it better, but you absolutely don't need it! That's why I did not show it!! So here is how I did it: apply the "grid" effect! Done!! 🤘🤘

[@ahmedali-co6ty]

I can feel how happy you are because of the update.

[@joseluisromano277]

¡Gracias!

[@flo.motion]

Wow!! Thank you

[@joseluisromano277]

Hey! thanks to you, I came to your tutorial after having tried the technique that EbSynth uses and not getting good results, Mocha Pro and After have been a much more professional solution. Now my question (I don't know if anyone has come across this limit) If the subject's head rotates more than about 20 degrees the facial features are deformed and obviously since it is not real 3D, the mesh stretches. What do you suggest for these cases? Maybe do more than one step per shot? That is, divide the movement so that there are several frames of reference? Thank you in advance for continuing to respond.

[@Writingstories]

Wow! It’s awesome you still respond :) problem I am encountering; (after the mocha process, and After adding a grid to a white solid. The mask for the face shape doesn’t affect the grid.

[@Writingstories]

Also, Whenever I try to copy the mocha effect to the top layer with the “old picture”, mocha somehow deletes or gets rid of the mesh track frames. It’s all red.

[@flo.motion]

Have you selected the mesh within mocha and in the effect? Also the grid is not really necessary... I only added that to show the process more visually!

[@Writingstories]

@@flo.motion I will try it again soon keeping that in mind. Good to know the grid isn’t totally necessary :) thanks my man! Also. How long have you been doing videos? Do you work on any projects?

What I did is that I used different versions of the filter and combined the parts that worked best.

Hey brother i got a question. What happens when face changes direction when all the effects are applied? Like when you look to the front and try to look to the right for example.

[@flo.motion]

Hey, all of this works as long as the mesh works. So, if the head turns too much, you would either need to do different tracks, or have to go into 3D to get it done!

[@flo.motion]

Hey, I think you need to watch my tutorial carefully: you have to cut out mouth and eyes, to create a real "mask" for the face. Because the mesh does not know where the wholes for eyes and mouth should be, so just create an AE mask around that part. Let me know if that helped!

You want to make sure that in the stabilizing tab in Mocha, you have set a ref frame and the warp quality is set to high. You also want to precomp the layer you are applying the warp to in AE. This video might answer some questions when you run into issues: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZqqYaCmYpt-Y6s

[@PierreGKoreanASMR]

Hello and thanks a lot for this video! I've been trying to make this working for a few hours on a short video I took but I have a problem. When my head turn on the left or right, then the whole face looks quite weird, as if there were some kinds of "stairs" on both the left and right (especially on the top left-right part of the head). So, I was wondering if there is something else to do in order obtain something smoother when your turn your head on one side or the other rather than have the face looking at the camera the whole time. Is it even possible actually? :D Thanks a lot in advance!

[@flo.motion]

Hey, the problem could be that the face is turning too much! Be aware: when you create the reference frame, you need to make sure to take a frame, where every detail that shows throughout the shot is already visible. For example if you turn your face from the side to the camera, it is better to take a reference pic from the end where both eyes and ears and so on are visible... so you need clever thinking when creating the reference frame

[@rossshain1893]

Did you track with perspective on? Mocha is clever but is still a 2.5D workflow, so for some rotation shots, the only method for solves is to move to a full 3D solution. If it is quality you are after, you can increase the warp render quality (under stabilize tab) to HIGH. Also, you can add more vertice points to subdivide the mesh for higher quality render AFTER tracking. Maybe useful? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZqqYaCmYpt-Y6s

[@PierreGKoreanASMR]

@@flo.motion Thanks a lot, Flo! I took great care of not placing my hands in front of my face but I didn't think too much about the head. It might be the problem. I'll try to make it work following your advices. Maybe I would need to take a new reference pic for each time my face turns a lot on the left, right or stay more or less in front of the camera? (I'm a beginner at this so I have a lot to learn ^^)

[@PierreGKoreanASMR]

@@rossshain1893 Thanks a lot, Ross! I did track it with perspective on. I think I followed everything as showed in the tutorial but in my video the face turns much more on the left or right side.

I've started to watch the video you linked, thank you! It's going to be helpful. I should actually learn the basics of Mocha Pro, as I'm a total beginner at this.
