Awesome Tutorial - To ADD Color to it, it is simple. Create a New Solid (right click-new solid) and cover the smoke + pick the color you wish. Then change the Opacity to something like 30% - you can always add more having it travel through different colors etc.
Great tutorial! Holds up in 2023 and is certainly helpful for any smoke effect needs! I personally am using this for my stinger transition on my twitch streams. Works excellently!
Or.. instead of that long ass equation.. you can just animate the turbulence offset with two keyframes. x') Great tutorial though, short and to the point!
i used this method to add smoke to my steam artwork. worked perfectly but a steam artwork loops forever and when it loops you can see it. is there any way to make the animation smoother when it loops?
@@troofytray666 If you still want it: Make sure that in the Evolution options Cycle evolution is ticked, and the expression on evolution should resemble something like this: time*(360/5). The 360/5 is based on making sure that the evolution "rotates" a full rotation, the 5 (in my case) is half my composition's time (which is 10 seconds) then it loops perfectly for me.
why does it stop evolving when you add other layers to your composition? i even exported it as a video and added the video to my timeline and it just frustratingly plays as a static still
Is there any way someone could type out the thing to make the smoke move so I can copy-paste it? It keeps saying I had an error in it when I type it up.
I don't know if I'm dumb, or the video is outdated- but half the stuff in this video- when I go to do it literally "doesn't work". The opacity thing won't turn down at all- even when I put it at 0%. When i create the mask, it won't let me select the corners like you do.
for some reason when i do this on a solid and change the blending mode to 'multiply' so it creates a smokey layer above the floor, the evolution controls stop working! its just a crappy still :/
The explanation was excellent, with distinction. It's the first time I've followed steps from an After Effects tutorial on RU-vid and succeeded on the first try. I understood it and was able to apply the steps in a way that I want.
Hi, I have a question. I did this and it was great! so thank you. however, I then went to add a video and the smoke effect layer slowed down the video. any chance you know why this is and how I can have the smoke without slowing down the actual video behind it???? thank you!!!
This happened to me too! It's just slow because you've added in another effect (I think) It shouldn't slow down the actual video once it's been rendered
"Time*" code works by use the real "time*value" For example -> Time*100 -> 10 seconds pass -> 10*100 -> Output = 1000 If i use this code on rotation. My object will be rotated for 2 rounds and 280 degree left at 10 seconds because 1 round rotation = 360 degree -> (360*2)+280 = 1000 And for "offset turbulence" it has 2 values that is (X,Y) of its offset position So from the code -> [value[0]+time*100,value[1]-time*20] value[0] is the first value(X) and value[1] is the second value(Y) When the time pass, X value will be increased because the code is plus value (+time*100) Y value will be decreased because the code is minus value (-time*20)
I did the same thing. I know this comment was 5 months ago, but if you weren't able to figure it out. I think you typed "time+100" instead of "time*100". That's what did it for me.
Hello Envato Tuts+, .. I really like this tutorial. I could follow along easily. I have to day, my final video-file size is 12GB, for only 3minutes of fog. Is that normal? I rendered as an animation in .mov. I tried to change the .mov file to .avi file, in After Effects. Ended up with a 62GB video! Hmm.. Hope to hear from you soon, thank you. Greetings, Daan
I solved it. The detail setting in fog, was on 20. That's very high for some background fog. I changed it to 6, and looks great. File size 1,2 GB. Maybe there is a way to loop this, to create 15 seconds fog and loop it? I hope so, thank you for the tutorial :)
