[@LC-yo3bj]

Easily one of the best plugin review videos I've ever seen

[@EROKOJR]

Wow! Mind blown! I have Shadow Studio 2, and I've never even used the 'inner' option before.

[@ridoysahadec9268]

Holy gorgeous man! Thanks a lot! Please make more unique stuff like this.

Please make more videos - this is the deep-dive informative content that I've been desperately looking for!

[@jhauty]

It is very similar to the Light Sweep effect. But the tip with the Colorama effect is very useful. Thx!!

[@justinfernandes113]

Thank you! This was very helpful 👍 I will use this technique from now on.

[@danekirkland]

Great tutorial! Clear, concise and plenty of info without going overboard.

[@dalerpulatov8831]

super bro

[@TreePen]

great tutorial. Can we make the grain shadow in the shadow studio 2?

[@ChunkMotion]

Thank you! I have tinkered with that before and had decent success from using Noise Alpha. I've also reached out to Plugin Everything about adding this feature to SS2 so fingers crossed!

[@user-dv2dj3un2g]

와...이거 한글자막 감사합니다.

[@mallhits]

The intro blows my mind. That character looks amazing. I know you achieved the lighting from Shadow Studio 2, there appears to be some parallax in the face, and some subtle dangle with the hair. But is there anything else you used to get the 3D effect???

[@ChunkMotion]

Thank you so much! Your kind words are greatly appreciated. Keen eye to pick up on those details, but they do make quite the difference even if you don't notice them. I did the character animation inside of Moho but similar things can be achieved in After Effects too. The face had a rig and a controller that allowed me to move it left and right, up and down. Joysticks and Sliders equivalent in After Effects really (just that Moho does it better hehe). When creating a turning head rig, take note that looking up doesn't move everything up the same. The easiest thing to do to make the rig feel more 3D is having the ears go down when the head looks up. The hair uses Dynamic Bones inside of Moho that react to movement, but I've seen very similar things achieved in AE with Duik. In Moho, I get to control the intensity, its dampening and its bounce.

[@mallhits]

@@ChunkMotion thanks for the reply. Super thorough. You’re channel is extremely inspiring. Please make more videos. You’re a a big help

[@MikeLisii]

Amazing. Can it do some inner shadow grain for texturing?

[@michaelcxt]

Remind me to watch later

[@ChunkMotion]

Hey Michael, it's been a week, maybe it's time for a watch 👀

[@saeedmirmohamadi3520]

cool

[@JithinSabu]

We need more videos

[@jsy4904]

Hello, I have a question about this plugin. When I use , some guide line shows up in the preview panel which looks like 'X' drawn on the object. First I thought it was just a guideline visible only in after effect, but I could still see this in my rendered video. Is it because I'm using the free trial pack?

[@ChunkMotion]

Hey! Yeah, those guidelines are the free trial pack's watermark.

[@jsy4904]

@@ChunkMotion Thank you

[@virat-vi3ir]

can we light up the room illustrations with these effects?? if yes then how and if no then is there any way to light the 2d flat room ilustration with shadows and light in after effects?? plzzzz i need the answer i have searched it on yt but found nothing and currently i am working on a project so i need it immedietly

[@juanmonge5937]

you are a genius, the trial version has any watermark?

[@deadlineVFX]

SO you went to Nepal

[@DiegoDiaz-xu5ct]

Very good technique, by the way the animation is great, you could make a tutorial of it :) , sub

[@myselfmfk]

Can it use on the live action 😵‍💫

[@ChunkMotion]

If it's green screen footage and has been keyed, then sure! 🪄

[@myselfmfk]

@@ChunkMotion thanks bro❤️❤️

[@delusionalunicorn5324]

Do you mind me asking how old you are? You look super young , I was just wondering. This technique is fantastic.

[@ChunkMotion]

I'm 26, but this camera takes away 10 years 🙃 glad you like the technique!

[@kapilparajuli6794]

@@ChunkMotion I'll love to know about 'the camera' too! Keep it coming! Liked! Subscribed! I'm from Kathmandu. See the connection! :-)

[@Monnknight]

What about animation made by moho with track camera left and right It's look like a games How can i add light and shadow? Thanks

[@ChunkMotion]

Sounds like your full animation is in Moho, which is a process we're not too familiar with sorry! All I can recommend is if you wish to comp in more effects inside of After Effects is render in "passes", like just the background, just the characters etc.

[@fahrurrazikin6876]

AE minimum version ? AE 2018 not work

[@iijason1245]

how do you look 32 and 12 at the same time

[@cherrycoked3]

Hi, Some lines appear across the screen and even when I export. Do you know why this may be?

[@ChunkMotion]

Hey! I'd say that is the "watermarking" that Plugin Everything use when in trial mode. I believe purchasing the plugin will make those vanish.

[@cherrycoked3]

@@ChunkMotion thank you! I forgot had to put in a license code! Thx for this video it was a lifesaver

[@wagdyhusseine7838]

project files plz

[@ChunkMotion]

They're available on our gumroad if you're interested!

[@vivekb00713]

It's paid or free plugins

[@ChunkMotion]

Shadow Studio 2 is a paid plugin that's worth it's weight in gold in my opinion 💖⚡

[@marcosalvadori81]

Comlimenti sul serio per i video che pubblichi. Ho visto questo e mi sono iscritto al tuo canale. Passa sul mio!

[@Izaac_Artist]

Hopefully you'll see this comment how does one accomplish this when he finishes a full 2d animation on flipaclip?

[@ChunkMotion]

Looks like you can export a .png sequence with transparency from Flipaclip which would be perfect for then applying the techniques in this video!

[@itimnagubatngkaligayahan1518]

Somebody tell me this plugin is free. Cuz I'm broke as hell.
