Tutorial in After Effects (Teaser)
Create an underwater scene!! Dry for wet!! Wet for dry!!
In this new upcoming tutorial I will show you how to transform a "dry" scene into a "wet" underwater scene as you may have seen in Aquaman, the way of water or shape of water.
We will start by creating the look on a still photograph to illustrate and show all the steps neccesarry to do so:
the main thing is to sell the texture / tickness / density of water and we can do that with playing with the depth with a depth map or depth pass. I will show you how to create that in 3d as well as on a 2d image.
We will then use that to drive most of the effects, from distortion to color, tint displacement or depth of field.
We will add underwater footage from ActionVFX to sell the shot even more, and I am goint to show you a few ways to add "interactive lighting" with volumetric light as it appears under water.
We will also take a look at creating caustics in different ways to interact with the scene.
As a bonus I will show you how to create the "underwater" hair effect as you may have seen in aquaman, but in a way more approachable / low budget way that still holds up for production.
In addition we will learn somehting about chromatic abberration, collor correction as well as the "curtain" preset ;)
