Patreon Video - Episode 12 - 2D FX Animation
🕑 Added 2020-09-15 12:09:35 +0000 UTCI just posted a video on YouTube showing a time-lapse with commentary of me animating a 2D explosion. I'm really quite satisfied about how that that turned out. So I wanted to elaborate a bit on the technique I use to create something like that.
I think sometimes it helps a lot to see someone work in real time to be able to fully follow along with what's going on. A time-lapse gets the general methods across, but seeing someone tackle things without much editing might be more informative.
As I mentioned in the video, I might try to create a quick scene (not another monster project) that uses a bunch of 2D FX. Currently you can access the final explosion and also the smoke puff I made in this video if you are subscribed to the Elder tier and up. If I create a scene including some other FX I will drop those there for you to grab too. Either or I will let you know if I do.
Hope you enjoy this episode. Maybe we can look at creating some lightning FX next. Its actually not very hard, so could be a fun one.

Ooh sweet! Yeah I am also playing around with more of the same stuff. Hopefully I can get a little test out soon.
Just slapped the free files into a composition with my own background.... worked out sooooo well! All I have to do now is go back and draw my own. This tutorial is a huge help - thank you!!
Awesome! Yeah I think the combination works perfectly. Creating a game trailer for my friends game currently and including a lot of that in there.

I'm so down for this! Just got my copy of Elemental Magic because I would like to incorporate 2D FX into my 3D.
