I wrote this effect more than 20 years ago, thanks so much for taking the time to explain it. One note: the purpose of the "smoothing" parameter is to blur out the steps between pixel values where the water height is changing slowly. Otherwise you can see exactly where the pixel value of the wave map changes, as with the concentric rings at 10:46. This is probably far less of an issue if you're working in 16 or 32 bpc (though I don't know if Wave World and Caustics were ever updated past 8bpc!)
Huge respect
Hey Jonathan Great to read! I'm making a 2023 TV channel branding that is using this plugin to create realistic glass effects! love it! Only thing I have is there is some flickering on the edges of the text. guess some reflections are acting up. Great effect!
Great effect Jonathan! Thanks Jake for this awesome tutorial!
How you demystify the enigma that is AE is borderline therapeutic. It's like I can feel a drop in my cortisol levels where the direction I wanna take a project doesn't seem all too impossible after watching one of your videos. Thanks, Jake, for these masterclass tutorials.
This is perhaps the most detailed AE tutorial I've seen in a while. I mean thanks, this effect is just overwhelming and I couldn't have understood it myself. It'll take a while for me to get comfortable but I know the potential now.
Awesome, these seem really realistic simulations. Thanks for sharing these really cool effects. These are long-awaited in my list and at last here. Love your tutorials and this whole series. Can't wait to see more. đ„°đđ
I literally was in tears before I watched this video... Thank God you explain so clearly and thoroughly. THANK YOU!
Another Great Tutorial. I learned a lot! Thanks Jake!!!
Terrific walkthrough. Thank you!
AE has so many unknown powerful effects! Amazing! Thank You
this is pure magic, thank you for the tutorial
Well done! This is a huge help in producing cartoon fx that I currently do.
my proudest binge ever.
never stop. just continue with red giant stuff once you're through :P
bravo. Well done. Some great material for new creative directions.... very well explained. A fun new tool in the arsenal. Thanks
Excellent tutorial. I've never really understood caustics before. Thank you!
This is so good!
Thank you so much man this was really helpful. I found a way to incorporate some things you said into my project and I'm satisfied with where it is.
Thank you very much, youÂŽre always saving my life.
Amazing! Thank you đ đ
This is SO helpful!!!!!!!! thank you.
I had no idea i can do this. Thanks again!
Thank you!
I watched few tutors about this effect before and understood nothing. Thanks for such clear tutorial!
your stuff is so great - encyclopaedic channels like yours is always my fave - thank you so much!
Just perfect.
Good thanks for sharing
How dude you are a genius thanks for sharing it đđ
This is awesome! Jake thanks so much for sharing, super helpful.
HI Jake, Thank you for a great tutorial. How do you parent a few layers to wave world? I want to have a few images coming in at the same time. Please let me know. Thanks again!
Great tutorial, as always! Is there a way to use Wave World + Caustics with a different angle? Like, suppose I was looking at a swimming pool from the margin, the water surface would be something like 45 degrees from my eyes, not a perfect 90 degrees as the example...
you use it with a top shot comp, but it could be interesting to know if we can use it with isometric 3D for example
omg 36 min wave world caustics tutorial
I've never knew this existed in after effects
Cool, I'll have to try this out. Not sure how I missed this effect, but I've been using Radio Waves for wave effects this whole time, lol.
I feel like After Effects has about 20 different, SLIIIIGHTLY nuanced ways to accomplish the same thing
Hi jake, please do you know of any website i can get a motion design brief just to build my portfolio. Thanks for all your tutorials. It has been helpful to a beginners in the industry.
Is there a way to make the ring less perfectly circular, add a little irregularity to the edges?
11:11 a little contradictory to the sign in the water haha, if the depth is high Iâm sure there is no danger in diving
wow!
What kind of hardware are you using? And what would you recommend for editing faster
Hi, Jake! Thanks for explaining! Could you please explain briefly how did you made the cells of Pool Floor? I've tried Turbulent noise with block type and tint it blacks to blue, but it not like yours :) Then I've tried to done with Mosaic, but it still not like your cells :) Your cells have a little thin white border each. Hmmmmm! :)
Updated: I added the Grid over the turbulent noise and tint, but my turbulent noise type "block" looks like little cells inside big cells of checker table. Hmmmm!
thanks for your video. but that effect id not change the position while displacement. that effect shows only in center.
Hi Jake. I at 1:03. I see the same thing only my Wireframe Preview is black grid lines on white while your movie has white lines on black. How do I change mine to look like yours? Thank you very much. Rick.
Hey quick question.. what if you just used the wave world and put the mode to multiply, would it still make the effect on what ever there is under? Iâm asking cuz Iâm trying to make use with this to a packaging animation and could be really cool..
finally one without a virus
That was fantastic! Must I now take a vow that I wonât abuse my new-found power?
Please, abuse away.
Mix this with mir......awesome
Is there a way to make the waves move according to a song?
wow I thought this was one of those joke AE effects no one uses but this is excellent
Hmmmmm so that is what â Conor Whelan â used in his personal water reflection scene
Thanks very much
Did I miss where you can slow down the water movement?
Hi Jake, a quick question. Why did you use null object 24:09 instead of animating the position property of producer 1?
Because animating with the producer won't allow you to use a motion path, so you're limited to linear movement. Using a null object would also allow you to separate the position dimensions if you prefer to animate x and y positions independently.
@@JakeInMotion Oh that didn't hit my mind. Thanks again, I just want to say I'm in love with your videos, looking forward to learn all effects from you.
I just did an FX shot YESTERDAY where this would have been useful. đ©
Jake, did you make After Effects??
I swear, Adobe should be paying you to do this
Could this be exported to a lottie animation?
No.
Hi, Iâm 14 and trying to het into After Effects. I wouldnât call myself an intermediate user because I donât know of all the tools, effects etc. to help me. How do you know about all these tools (apart from researching YT Tutorials like this one)? Letâs say I want to create some kind of particle diamond shimmer effect, then how do I go about starting? Iâm using it as an example to illustrate that I know what I want, but not about the effects needed to make it. Okay, I can look up tutorials, but a professional wouldnât do that, also I donât know how to describe what I want! Thanks for reading
"I can look up tutorials, but a professional wouldnât do that", I would say it quite the opposite. Professionals also have to continue on learning and developing their craft as time progresses. Continue looking at tutorials, get a mentor or join a community to help any questions you might have, and create a projects that will that pushes your skills and knowledge to the limit.
I'm a programmer and it true what they say, "When you become a programmer Google becomes your best friend".
Hey! Professionals most definitely look at tutorials, donât feel like itâs taboo! Iâm also pretty sure Jake mentioned at the beginning of this series that he is effectively making the AE manual visually.
So you could definitely read up on AEâs Manual to get a base understanding of things - but the key (whether itâs from Jake/any other creator or from Adobe itself) is to get out there and try stuff out.
Treat these tuts as tools in your utility belt and find out creative ways of combining them to get what youâre after! Best of luck đ€đŸ
Edit: also shouts to Jake for introducing us to the tools! Making me love after effects all over again
Don't be fooled by professionals/grown ups - they look stuff up all the time! That's true for pretty much every industry. It's something to be encouraged, not disparaged
