I've been doing this for a long time. 3d cameras are far superior in any software, blender, c4d, maya you name it. There's no point doing this type of animations in AE.
wanted to try this for a long time!
10mn work: bake lighting -> create new texture -> draw strokes in shadowed areas following mesh curves
Very begginer friendly I think.
Additional texturing work on the front, windshield. Stickers have a bump map. Added a lid to the exhaust pipe.. Each side has its own 8k maps now!

I don't think that's something you can say to people working 70 hrs a week. Read the parts where animators explain Lord and Miller don't like to plan things.
I feel like we’ve seen the same pictures over and over for the last 10 years.
Went from amazed to not feeling anything. Can we collectively drop Houdini for a sec?

A tribute to two wonderful British artists: @artfletch & @ianmcque
99% of the assets come from Mr Fletcher's sketchfab gallery.
straight render out of @OTOY 's Octane Render.
you can see there's:
- a crosshatch triplanar normal map on the mesh
- a solidify modifier with a second material for the shell
- shell has flipped normals + pure black + noise in alpha
- compositing is noise on position + displace nodes..
I agree with you, but it's been pushed three times! Problem is Lord & Miller relied on a budget that allowed them endless iterations. The artists say they didn't have a clear view of the final product so they kept deleting finished shots on and on.
Adobe should freeze After Effects development, make it bug free, label it 'Classic'. Then start working on a modern compositor, with a real 3d workflow, nodes, UI made for hdpi screens and tablets, a particle system, IK/FK, OSL, IA...
you're pointing at something important here. 3d animation is like a chain, there are many steps between storyboard and compositing. Doing changes on a shot that's finalized means going back to phase one of 12.
Mentally exhausting, and a planning nightmare.
I didn't mean to disrespect you Mr Mullins, very few people in this industry can wear the 'living legend' badge! It was merely a clumsy compliment. (Though I believe you when you say that many people never heard of you)
Decided to go touch some grass last weekend BUT!!!
I've made a little breakdown of this 'watercolor-ish' piece you've liked:
(thanks y'all 🥰)

WTF!! Sending After Effects comps to Media Encoder takes for ever (if it even works). BUT! Try to drag and drop your comps from your project to ME render queue and it's instantaneous!
Collab thread! 🚨
Last year as NFT's were exploding, I've seen many collabs emerge and wanted to have a go at it too.
Here's some behind-the-scenes of @daniela___l X myself. #collabthread
I sucked at painting back in art school so I've shied away from it for almost 20 yrs.
I've tried to overcome my fears and bought Heavypaint
Here's a first study 🖌️
I can happily update my bio tonight. The past few months have been 🔥 switching from freelance to in-house!
But I can say with confidence I've found a crazy talented team to settle with ✨
same with typography animations, 2d motion designers have no idea how EASIER it is to animate fonts in 3d instead. You'd need 10k in AE plugins to match what C4D's MoGraph or Blender's geometry nodes can do.
also you don't need GI or fancy refractions, just go with eevee or octane's direct lighting. Turn every quality settings down.
Your previews can be a lot faster than in after effects
it's p-p- #PortfolioDay !
Hey I'm Paul, a 3d artist in the advertising/web industry.
I spend most of my personal time exploring the topics of memories and light through 3d. 🔆💡🕯️
C'est ce qu'à aussi dit la première ministre hier soir. Tentative de réécrire l'histoire en direct. Le Pen a dit être ravie que l'idéologie RN prend pied avec cette loi.
The state of sci-fi design is very poor I think. There's no more taking risk, no more panache and flamboyance in design. It's all pretty neat, but overall flattened so every movie will look like the other.
As I feared, a static, empty & clinical look just like Blade Runner 2049. This could be from a shot from Star Wars. I would have preferred rich layered action & organic compositions with a real sense of depth.
