    Out of curiosity. For the turbulent displace effect, why don't you simply use a time*4 expression on the Random Seed parameter? Surely that's a simpler option?

    • @peterismaslencenko9106
      @peterismaslencenko9106 Před 5 lety +28

      Was wondering the same thing. I usually do this kinda stuff with a random() expression. I guess there's a million ways to do this - curious to know why Ben chose that particular method.

    • @BenMarriott
      @BenMarriott  Před 5 lety +137

      :O Oh wow, yes. That is a better option, haha. I hadn't even considered using the random seed parameter. Thanks so much for sharing ! I will be definitely adding this method to my toolkit from now on.

    This is my favourite After Effects tutorial ever! You made it so easy to follow and I found it so helpful that you explained what all the different adjustments and effects added to the animation - some tutorials just tell you what to do without explaining the mechanics behind it, and I never feel like I learn from those (and I very often end up making a mistake and finding it harder to follow). Love you and this video! I've just subscribed 😄

    I already do something similar with turbulent displace, but i do like to make 3 keyframes then i loop it with a expression.
    For my method i do it because i want to give the fill of only 3 random drawing looping, not infinite random drawings.
    As a tradicional animator, this will look better (for me at least xD).
    But im learnning a lot from you. Thank you so much for the video. Awesome work!

    The best day of the week for me is when you drop a new tutorial. Quick question, what differs a good texture vs bad texture

    • @BenMarriott
      @BenMarriott  Před 5 lety +8

      Thanks so much man! Hmm, that's very subjective. I consider bad texture, texture that's unconsidered. If it's distracting from the scene in any way, texture I think should be to add life, or style to an animation/design that would benefit from feeling more "hand crafted." Big grimmy textures slapped over a clean flat animation for no reason for me would be "bad." But it's hard to say. I like to have a reduced framerate and have the design and animation suit a textured look, so that way the whole scene works as a whole. But there's definitely no rules. There's been loads of times where I've added a texture thinking it's save an animation and then It just doesn't work for whatever reason and I have to go back and fix the foundations of a scene. That's a long answer, but in summary. Texture shouldn't be used a bandaid to fix a scene.
