- In this video, I explain and show every step to create realistic lighting, reflections and shading to composite a 2D animation to a real-world environment using Adobe After Effects. I cover hot to apply form shading, shadows, highlights, rim lighting, reactive reflections and looping shadows cast by environmental changes.

This looks like it came straight out of a scene from _Amazing World of Gumball,_ and the art style can tell otherwise.
It's identical to The Amazing World of Gumball, I just came to comment this
Aaah Gumball... The glory days... until Darwin moved to The Why Files and changed his name to Heckle... Hellywood's a fickle market...
Yep, only thing that is missing is the stroke
@@AmbarChakrabarti no character in that show had the same art style as the other one
family members yes but other than that no
so it fits, even without a stroke
One thing - in my experience "Fill" is alot slower then "tint". In bigger comps i recommend using tint with the same color in both boxs
Also shadow layer on "darken" will probably give a more realistic results because real shadows dont go darker when they are combined
I love this channel! Thank you!
Maybe another tip: instead of animating the shading -> i often use the background material, duplicate it, fast blur it quite heavily, so that it still has the color(changes) or things like moving shadows and than use the object as mask and put it above it... Than play with opacity and layer styles... This gives the object the colors if the surrounding areas and even colorchanges like shadows affect the color without much work.
Another Pro Tip: another duplicate of the background layer, make it Black and white and use levels/contrast etc. to adjust the grayscale -> use this layer as displacement map for the reflection. So while not completely realistic you can use the Background to distort the reflection a bit (not to much because it will break the effect). This way you often (not always) get a bit more realistic reflection
Sensei is back, oh yeah~
We're back!
Y-yes Senpai!~
Did you know it’s because of creaters like you that students like us are able to keep going and upskilling hehe thanks!
Welcome back good sir! We missed you and your named layers :)
Finding this WILDLY helpful, informative, and thorough. Thank you!
its so amazing !!!
Thank you for this tutorial! This is amazing 😍
I love you Ben 🥺.
Thankyou.
ben, you're insane these are awesome.
i think you could have added some ambient occlusion imitation with a subtle inner shadow !! so happy to see you back goat
Thanks for all the great lessons Ben!
Thanks so much for watching!
You are BACK!
I'll have to try this in Resolve
Great comprehensive guide. Might get your course later. Keep up the good work! =)
Thank you
I know all the procedures... but love watching it from start to finish... :) My only suggestion is when you animated the chicken you can auto motion blur it on edit so you don't need to fake the motion blur and activate motion blur tick box, so the chicken have motion blur again attached on the null during camera shake. Love your scene... so cute.
Something that I really needed
I'm very pleased fellow chicken fan. :)
i love you'r videos
Você é foda! Parabéns!
Okay Ben, I'll study more about compositing in After Effects.
_Babe, wake up. Ben Marriott uploaded a new video._
thank you from syria
will do one compositing practice every time ben says 'chicken'
The master
AMAZING WORLD OF GUMBALL!
Love this! Question - why use the "Fill" effect for the shadow rather than the Color Overlay layer style? Just personal preference?
This is from a course i took few months ago
Great video but im never using adobe products ever again
Good to see you ben! Where you ben? long time no see ;)
It's good to be back! Been working on a big project I should be able to show soon :)
Here at 420 views.. We winning today hunnies
Blaze it!

Why not use the lumetri to do all the color grading you did?
You could do all of this in lumetri, but I think it's overkill for what's needed here.
reminded me of gumball
similar to the style from "The Amazing world of Gumball"
I want to buy the course but it’s too expensive for me
Gumball?
Fu it... We ball again 🫡
need some work grading... that was rough
It's sad when you disappear from CZcams for a long time and then come back with a ready-made video from your course inventory
Why is that sad?
k
sad because he still posts a freaking long tutorial for free? and it's from his paid course? People are so hard to please nowadays
@@worstever5151 YES!! I am sad about this. This indicates that instead of creating new content, he is burning his valuable papers. I am not sad about the video itself. I am sad about what is behind his downloading of a ready-made video. I think he no longer likes CZcams, and that is why I am sad.
Please, as a fellow professional, don't call us "colour graders". We're colourists. Use the right terminology. 🙏
An Adobe product tutorial??, NO, thank you
then why did you click lol
@@hardlyworking_ You can't type a comment without clicking on the video... duh!
