Summary of ASCII Typography and Grayscale Shader | After Effects Tutorial
The video tutorial demonstrates how to create ASCII typography and grayscale shader effects in Adobe After Effects, focusing on unique grid designs that react to brightness. The process includes various artistic techniques and creative processes involving composition, shape manipulation, and effects.
Key Steps and Techniques:
- Create New Compositions:
- Set up a main composition (1000x1000 pixels).
- Create a secondary composition (2020 pixels) for shapes.
- Shape Creation:
- Design a basic rectangle with a blue color and scale it appropriately.
- Create a solid layer and apply fractal noise for texture.
- Adjust fractal noise settings (increase contrast, set complexity).
- Mosaic effect:
- Add a Mosaic effect and set dimensions based on the main composition.
- Use an expression for the evolution of the fractal noise.
- Layer Management:
- Pre-compose layers and lock background solids.
- Use the Repeat Tile effect to create a grid layout.
- Grayscale Extraction:
- Apply the Extract effect to convert visuals to grayscale, adjusting the range as needed.
- Shape Duplication and Modification:
- Duplicate shapes multiple times and modify them to create varied designs.
- Experiment with different shapes and patterns (e.g., plus signs, dots).
- Incorporate Typography:
- Add text layers using specific fonts (available for download).
- Adjust text size and position creatively.
- Flexibility and Customization:
- Change colors and apply tint effects to enhance visual interest.
- Use images or other visuals as templates for more complex designs.
Conclusion:
The tutorial emphasizes the flexibility of the techniques, allowing for easy adjustments and creative exploration. The creator encourages viewers to experiment with their designs and provides options for customizing colors and shapes.
