PURE TERROR in After Effects!! Realistic Dripping Blood Effect

In this Adobe After Effects tutorial, we'll generate some hyper-realistic dripping blood. No keyframes... no expressions... the project relies entirely on the magic of effects and layer style effects.

This is the first time I've seen the Calculations effect, and it's quite powerful. I honestly don't know how you came up with all these combinations of layers and effects, but the result is fantastic. Bravo.

[@Texturelabs]

Appreciate that Dave. Ya it's a little bit of an alternate workflow, but I'm a big fan of everything in the Channel effects!

[@glitchpulver1337]

I've worked with AE quiet some time and been through multiple amount of tutorials to get some requested effects, but I must say, this channel and what you are doing here must be the most pedagogic and intelligent tutorials i've ever seen. You are using some effects I didn't even know excisted. I learn so much even though I probably never need this specific result. You're like a magician revealing all the secrets! 🤩

[@chargeff06]

Overall it is a complex video, but I learned the effects I've never seen before Thank you🤩

[@Wesley-pk5de]

This is freaking amazing. The best part of watching your tutorials is that I always learn about some deep obscure effect that I never heard of. Amazing work.

[@guilhermesalles4313]

This tutorial remembered me the old time Andrew Kramer exploring every single inch of After Effects to bring really nice details to the comp. You made something really unique here. Amazing work man!

[@GoodTimesHD]

Absolutely insane! LOVE your tutorials and big fan of your work!

[@TipTut]

You never cease to amaze! Bravo!

[@rorybjorkman]

ive seen a LOT of tutorials in my day for all sorts of software and this is the best ive seen .

[@PascalHartig]

Honestly an amazing tutorial. Most of these will depend on some resources in a paid package or third-party plugins, so I really didn't expect you pull this all together from first principles. Mind-blowing what you can do just by composing different effects.

[@michaelasucha4347]

Just AMAZING! So realistic results. Thank you!

[@DaftRebel]

Can't tell you how much these tutorials excite me mate! BIG thanks for sahring your creativity and knowledge!!!

[@maddogUK69]

Fantastic tutorial, both in content and in presentation style - no flannel, straight to the point, clear and concise. I could probably guess at most of the individual steps, but the way you combined them is inspired. I'm familiar with Calculations from Photoshop, but had never considered using them in AE the way you have done here, so those insights were worth watching the video for alone. Also, lots of other good effects used that I hadn't come across before. Consider yourself subscribed!

[@sleightlyimpossible]

One of the best AE tutorials I've seen in years. Truly next level.

[@nnamdiobi4877]

Incredible work as always! Always love checking out your tutorials.

[@meiying4604]

love the tutorial but also just how you actually explained what and why you're doing each step - incredibly helpful thank you!!

[@rakmichal]

Great work, I love it when someone uses any program so intelligently, especially After Effects

[@FLOWTUTS]

The things you learn throught the tutorial is more than the tutorial result it self WHAT A LEGEND

[@peterheynen]

This is simple AWSOME! Thanks a lot for this detailed workflow

[@adidasjoel17]

Just sooo frickin awesome....i love coming across effects i've never even used before (or knew were there). Great, great one man!

[@miranbelaic]

This was literally the first time I opened and used after effects and through your tutorial I managed to re-create the things so easily just following your instructions 🙌🏻 thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@gregkrazanski]

awesome job with the semi-transparent + cc glass technique. so good to see calculations getting more love!

[@speedlag]

This is awesome! This has so many great tips and smart uses of effects.

[@laserfloyd]

These tutorials never cease to amaze me! I've only scratched the surface in After Effects.

[@hectorthespector]

Amazing tutorial & beautiful result, can't thank you enough!

[@nicksullivan329]

WOW! What a great tutorial - excellent job creating this effect, especially good to see Calculations explained.

[@natazer]

It amazes me how anyone figures out all the nuances of obscure plugins. As a production motion designer, I'm runnin' and gunnin' all day and just don't have the endurance to explore effects after work. Thanks for sharing!

[@eshan309]

One of the best effect i've ever seen. Great tutorial. Mind blowing!

[@BobNasty36]

Absolutely killer effect and tutorial. Awesome work, man.

[@DougKeeling]

Incredible as usual! Wow. Thanks for sharing!

Wow! Complicated but extremely impressive! You never fail to impress us Brady.

[@a_lee_xandre]

That's amazing, thanks a lot! Never learned about Calculations before. Managed to apply the effect to part of my band's logotype successfully.

[@alexandremoresque4779]

Thank you so much for the class. Simply incredible. 5 stars!!!!

[@ChrisHayesPhoto]

This is awesome and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much! I had to skip the motion blur at the end because my little MacBook Air had a stroke trying to do it. I also slowed the blood down a bit to a "higher cholesterol" version. :)

[@kassfox8381]

Result is fantastic! Thank you!

[@STRAIGHTP]

Man. Your stuff is on a different level. So glad i found you.

[@4.0.4]

This is so cool. I watched even though I use Davinci Resolve because you explain it so well, and the ideas are totally applicable!

[@micahalexander]

Incredible. I get so pumped when I get an TextureLabs new project email. Keep it up!

[@Texturelabs]

Nice, glad to hear it!

[@mj_minion1666]

WOW! Amazing work. You showed me how much potential does After Effects has. I've never seen such effects, but that blood/liquid texture is god tier!

[@senseoffender9655]

Absolute madlad. the brains on this one!

[@martifischer]

Sick!

[@if28fx]

[@AllOutMurder]

I appreciate this tutorial. I followed everything you did and I actually got it correctly and got where I wanted. This is my first time doing something on After Effects other than Saber and changing my name on an intro template lol. Once again, thanks.

[@guaxefernando]

Another mindblowing after effects class🤯🤯🤯

[@CinesavageFilms]

This pretty awesome! Great and easy to follow

[@PrabhuRPR]

really cool tutorial, fascinating that we can achieve this by just blending and unblending things over and over.

[@liverbenji]

Oh man, I love your AE tutorial, thats sick!

[@marufhasan4100]

Amazing tutorial

[@beteetmechant]

You're amazing ! Loved that.

[@derAtze]

Oh man, this is great. I love these advanced tutorials. Thank you so much!

[@Texturelabs]

Right on, glad to hear it!

[@DeviantDayDreamer]

I'm still new when it comes to learning AE, and I'm just amazed that these are the things you can create! Man, I can't wait to try and tackle this project one day.

[@lordkiraayt2803]

do it today :p

[@fredericfilee4114]

Great tutorial. Following your tips I've created a wonderful and bloody text! Thanks a lot!

[@flo.motion]

Just WOW!!

[@6amerzOfficial]

thanks a lot, i loved the results, great way to use calculations instead of comps by the way

[@bonofthedead4023]

Once again knockin' it out of the park. Holy crap

[@mdshakilkhan6426]

Complicated but extremely impressive! love this

[@LittleWittleKitty]

Amazing! Thank you so much

[@abramjessiah]

I've been using AE since 2004 and I didn't know half of what was in this tutorial. This is legit good stuff.

[@ivaredding9527]

Damn Brady, your stuff is top notch! So refreshing to see advanced tuts for AE. Thank you!

[@HoofCreaition]

Like the Effects of After Effects videos, this helps to see what specific effects are there for. And how you use them probably surprises the developers at Adobe as well! And even more than just seeing the effects, this is again one of your wonderful videos that shows a really useful use case people with AE ambition will be fawning over. For long I thought these kinds of things would have to be done in a 3D application, with fluid simulations and all. But no, most of these functions have been in AE for years.. Only to be rediscovered in new and wonderful ways. Particle world, calculations, cc effects I thought were legacy things that were only there to keep old projects working.. Always a Treat with lots of Tricks. To keep the Halloween vibe alive.

[@Nananea]

It looks SO GOOD! WOW!

[@echomusicswe]

Wow, You're Amazing !! What Skills, I just love it❤❤❤

[@aescreens]

I thought i was good at After Effects, but then I watched this video. Incredible. Can't wait to start using the Calculations effects.

[@AyyadanaAkbar]

wow... this is amazing tutorial! Nice!

[@ShiveringCactus]

You’ve shown again and again how powerful layer styles are. They way you use them here to add depth to the blood drops is inspired. I’ve been using AE for twenty years and l’m picking up tips in every video.

[@fedor3000]

oh, we got some AE celebs here 😅 love your tuts too man ! ❤

[@ShiveringCactus]

@@fedor3000 😁 Thank you, I’m not in the same league as @Texturelabs but I’m glad you like my videos too.

[@fedor3000]

@@ShiveringCactus i once was obsessed with creating planets and space stuff 😅 so i guess i watched all your tuts ❤️❤️

[@annafromm6]

Woah, this is one amazing after effects tutorial. :D

[@mottiondessign]

It is the first tutorial since Kramer's tuts time, I can feel the familiar brain boiling and rapture. that's LEVEL!

[@mottiondessign]

I can't help but add! while writing my comment, I wanted to add "only you and another guy who recorded a lesson on Time Blend FX worthy of attention on youtube" How i was surprised when i went to your videos and realized that you and that guy are the same person! hahaha! It's happy and frustrating at the same time. Coz there's only one person on youtube doing really deep tutorials with incredible depth of tool knowledge! keep it up!

[@samuel_acevedo]

Damn thats sick, thank you for sharing the knowledge
