If your displacement layer is not set to 100% white you can do so. The Displacement layer in the sample comp is already set to 100% white. One way is to adjust the luminance value of the gradient layer. There are several ways to control the size of the scale change in Card Dance. Or maybe just by wiggling radically, that’d happen already? As in if the scale can be dropped to 0% for instance. – When I get that done, I’ll use a fractal displacement map to control their opacity, so like in that picture, some of them disappear.

– Each one, independently and randomly, changes size via uniform scale wiggle (unless there’s a better way?) So to explain better, what I want to see happen is: There’s a good chance I’m failing at putting these together. I’ve also found plenty of posts about uniform scale wiggle + loop, but I couldn’t get any of them to work because none of the replies I’ve found, have both the uniform scale + wiggle AND the loop in one tidy expression. Unless there’s some expression or some other way to have it NOT do that? I’ve thought of doing it using repeaters, but that doesn’t work because whatever effect I apply to the original is going to get replicated to the copies. It just feels like I’m trying to brute-force something that probably has a better, smarter way to accomplish. Once in AE, I import, convert to layered comp and all that jazz.īut, since it’s so many of them, it’s tedious, slow and just…

So the way I’m tackling it, is I create the triangles in Illustrator, then properly prepare for export into After Effects. I’m trying to achieve this (attached image).
