Massive Packs of Animated Elements! http://visualfxtuts.com/featured-posts/rampant-media-design-tools-massive-packs-of-animated-elements/ http://visualfxtuts.com/featured-posts/rampant-media-design-tools-massive-packs-of-animated-elements/#comments Sat, 31 Jul 2010 19:38:52 +0000 Topher http://visualfxtuts.com/?p=2625 So we picked up another sponsor in the sidebar, the last week or so, and I have been checking out some of their products… and well… there is a lot of stuff in these packs!  At first glance, you think… oh another Riot Gear type of package… but no no no… WAY MORE stuff than in Riot Gear, and these all deal with specific types of elements!

Were talking like 30 Film Dirt & Scratches, 46 Ink Plumes, 80 Animated Arrows, 115 Animated Paint Strokes, 53 Animated Spray Paints, and 43 Animated Paint Splats!  I mean, that is a lot of elements, and variety in those elements to choose from!   And the best thing, is each type of element is its own package, so you don’t have to buy everything together, just to get, say a selection of arrows.

All the packages are really well created, providing AI and EPS files, as well as the Quicktimes that go along with them in animation form.  All pre-keyed, with alpha channels so there is no messing around with that stuff.  All elements are in 1080p and are ready to rock for your convenience!

Along with these Motion Graphic and VFX themed packages, they also have Vector Imagery, RampanTV tutorials, Texture and Photo products, and After Effects Templates available as well!  They seriously have something for every type of project…

Check out their product videos for some of their latest products, and head over to their website and see what you can use for your own productions!

Simulate Realistic Digital Image Glitches with Ease!

Data Glitch is a native After Effects plugin that creates awesome realistic digital image glitches with total ease. Something you would see during a satellite transmission or a cable broadcast or from a damaged disk. Bad TV plugin is great for analog TV look, but this is 2010 and you hardly see anything that’s analog anymore. This plugin simulates a realistic digital glitch effect.
In real-life most of the glitches occur due to problems in encoding/decoding and sometimes data corruption. This plugin does exactly that. It encodes the data, glitches the data and then decodes it similar to the real life situation.

Features:

  1. Create Awesome Transitions with Ease.
  2. Compression Artifacts on the Fly
  3. Create Audio reactive animations with expressions.
  4. Control over the Glitch pattern.
  5. Image Type and Strip Type Glitches with quality settings.
  6. Compatible with both Mac and Windows.

This webinar even is free to whoever would like to attend, and if you are looking at learning more about Roto and tracking… this is probably one of the best places to get an introduction to that.  You might have seen in my article on AEtuts+ “28 Matchmoving and Tracking Tutorials” that Ben Heusner had a lot of the tuts in there on the Imagineer site… well he is going to be your presenter!  I think there may be limited space, so hit it up soon… its gonna be a hell of a webinar.
