@jiyeonjikim2 жыл бұрын
PS it can be key framed. By that I mean, you can key frame the object, edit in illustrator and load it to After Effect and the path moves like you have edited the path in After Effect

OVERLORD IS RIDICULIOUSLY NECESSARY. Can't imagine life without it.
@benjaminsantiagosstuff4 жыл бұрын
5:47 re: Overlord, it also imports text which is a huge time saver. Not perfect, but definitely helpful. It also allows you to import stuff back into Illustrator which is kind of amazing. Say you make a character, and client wants two new but super similar characters. You can import them back into the AI file so that you can save them if there is a series or multiple videos. I think the main thing that I've experienced that people "don't like" about Overlord, which is not really Overlord's fault, is that it leads to some super lazy workflows; namely when people don't even name layers before importing them into AE.

There are some great ones like Pixel Sorter 2, Modulator, or Topograph, and we can't forget the Lockdown. But my favorite plugin is the Universe bundle from RG, which saves a lot of time, also Deep Glow and Data Glitch. For animation, it's Duik + J&S

I always learn so many tips and tricks from you! When I started to learn 2D and 3D software, it blew my mind just how the digital realm reflects the thousands of various ways and preferences you can do something creative in the real world! Preference is so important to an artist and I never really realised just how important this is to software devs. This is why I love AE. Although it has its problems, you can do just about anything IN A COMPOSITOR, because of its scripting capabilities. And this is why Duik Bassel is my favorite script. I'm no scientist genius mathematician, I'm a simple creative, and I love bringing characters alive. And Duik sped that process up so much by bringing a 3D pipeline into a compositor!!! Hats off to the Rainbox Wizards.
