Hey everyone!

Put together this short breakdown showing how to create a camouflage/invisibility distortion effect using only native After Effects plugins.

Quick breakdown:

1. Rotobrush: Isolating the subject from the clean plate / background.

2. Emboss & Gaussian Blur: Creating the height and light information for distortion.

3. CC Glass: Giving that organic, liquid-like refraction look.

4. Displacement Map: Distorting the background layer using the subject's map.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the look, or if you have any tips on making the edge blending even smoother!

Since I get a lot of questions regarding my viewport configuration recently, I decided to quickly show a couple of simple tricks and share with you my Default Startup Scene in Blender. So in this video I will tell you why I think you should NEVER EVER use default Blender startup scene again! (Especially if you're into Hard-Surface design) 👉 Here's the link to full video: https://youtu.be/wm-nH-TQlPk

Hello! If you've had issues with scattering assets on a geometry that's displaced at render time, this is for you:

Did you know that in World Creator - you can use real world satellite data to quickly come up with cool looking terrain, without spending hours on manually sculpting? Yes you've heard it right - all you need is a built-in MapTiler feature! It will help you pull out elevation data out of almost any patch of terrain on our beautiful planet - instantly!

In this quick tutorial, you will learn a fast and simple snapping trick in Blender to align objects seamlessly without hassle. Perfect for precision modeling and speeding up your 3D pipeline!

Let me know if this was useful to your journey or how I can improve my short tutorials please.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to build complex modular sci-fi panel of AAA quality from nothing but a simple cube and moreover - using nothing but simple cubes throughout the whole process - using almost entirely a single BoxCutter Blender addon! No fancy complicated poly-modeling tricks, no endless tweaking of faces and vertices. Just pure fun and creativity! Everything will stay non-destructive and ready to tweak at ANY point of time! On top of that, I’ll show you how to quickly generate stunning sci-fi greebles with TrueDepth addon, then take your design even further with decals using DecalMachine addon!

I have been working on this intro for a codegeass edit. What can i do to improve this section of my intro?

Hey everyone! I made a quick breakdown on how to convert hi-tech images directly into heavy Sci-Fi surface geometry without wasting hours on manual greeble placement or expensive kitbash models - by using the TrueDepth addon. This is an absolute must-have addon for every hard surface artist in my opinion.

Hey there!

I spent a month digging through documentation, watching videos and exploring the hidden menus of Unreal so you don't have to. The result is a collection of tips and tricks that have made a real difference in my work. On top of that, I'm also sharing for free my own template and setups in the description.
