Alright, so you guys were wise to our April Fool's shenanigans. Well, guess what. We've got a tutorial for you. It drops tonight/tomorrow for everyone else, but for you, it's here today.
In this tutorial we take a look at creating an interesting loop. We'll make procedural pipes using splines, cloners, and CV Chamfer. This will allow us to create pipes, bend them, put bands around the joi...

Hey everyone! We hope you're all staying safe! Here are the elements for March. Thanks for your support!
There's a bunch of setups in here for different things. Take a look through, there's a good bit to take apart! If you have any effect or style you want us to look into next month, let us know and we'll see what we can do! Thanks again!
Probably should put the link in this thing n...
2020-03-27 20:33:49 +0000 UTC View PostI didn't think about this, but if you're new here, you're going to find some older posts inaccessible. And that's mainly because those upper tiers don't exist anymore! Fear not, from here on out, $5 patrons get everything we have available.
And if you're not new, you should have received a message from us last week that had details on how to download last month's elements. So if you didn'...
2020-03-11 15:07:51 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone! As I noted last month, I've unpublished the $10-$30 tiers so unless you want to be extra generous, you should switch to the $5 tier. :)
Also, I'm sorry for the delay in the last month's files. I tried to get everything out before we began a massive project—we basically just built a project that should've taken 3 months in about a week and a half. That said, I have most of i...

In this tutorial, we're taking audio and using it to drive a setup similar to the one we made in Tutorial 166: Free 3D Terrain. By adding some sim...

2020-02-18 20:54:20 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys! We've been thinking about what to do about our Patreon as we continue to be hugely busy. This economic boom in the US has kept us constantly on projects, even through Christmas. The last time we re-arranged things, we streamlined so that we're not as swamped with getting everything out at the end of a busy month, but it's still not perfect so we've come up with a new idea.

Hi everyone! We hope you had a great holiday and that you're 2020 is off to a great start. We were finishing up a project right before CES, and ran into an issue that was a little bit of a pain. Thankfully, with a bit of code, we were able to get ourselves out of a lot of additional keyframing and get out of the studio a little earlier.

Hi guys! Long time no see! ;) Thanks for sticking with us last month, here are the elements for December.
This month's additional elements include a few After Effects project files that explore building UI elements, graphs, and an automatic text animator.

In this After Effects tutorial, we take a look at how to build an ugly sweater. We start off by drawing a single stitch, and then repeat that into a full grid. Vertically, w...

We've made it to 200. As we mentioned before, we're going to transition away from weekly content. But we will make sure our Patrons still get good content. Deal? OK.
Also, one additional note before the tutorial notes. We have an ambassador link for Wipster. Signing up for a free account helps us out, so if you're looking for a system where you can gather notes from clients, 2019-11-15 21:31:42 +0000 UTC View Post
Man, 199. I'm starting to forget if I've done tutorials or not now. Although I feel like that's more from a lack of sleep at this point! Anyway, we're trying to get these out on time, but it's been trying. As you guys know, we'll be addressing that soon. Anyway, for now, this one is a little bit early for you guys.

Hi guys! Here's the tutorial for last Friday. Also side note: we're not dumping Patreon or anything. Our new ending directs people to our website first because we know Patreon isn't everyone's cup of tea. So in the interest of not being locked into any one service, we've compiled a list of sources where people can help support us. Most of these have been on our channel in some fashion or anothe...

Hi guys! Sorry for the delay. Sev ran into some issues with the tutorial that he's working on—he's got some cool Halloween stuff coming up. Thankfully I had recorded this one earlier in the week, so we swapped. There's not an associated project with this one. It's mainly a review and demo of Lockdown. I wanted to see how well it'd work and I was pretty blown away.

Master Properties in After Effects enable us to make more complex rigs than we could previously. And because of that, we're going to talk about techniques to rig objects. We start with a simple cube that has some pretty cool behaviors. It can flatten into the ground, which means it comes with its own transition built-in. It can also be scaled without scaling its strokes.
Then we take a lo...
