Cheap Tricks | Recreate a Druun Entirely in After Effects - No Plugins! (and FREE Template!)

Greetings from Kumandra! We’ve just released our resident Action Movie Dad’s latest tutorial, showing you how to recreate the organic look of the Druun from “Raya and the Last Dragon” entirely within Adobe After Effects! (With and without plugins!) In this tutorial, Daniel “Hashi” Hashimoto will show how the fractal family of filters can combine with CC Sphere to create volumetric and chaotic smoke and slime - and a unique way to utilize the Essential Graphics panel for visual effects - all with native AE effects! Or, if you want to do it WAY FASTER, Hashi shows how to utilize Trapcode Form, Universe, and Supercomp to create and composite a Druun into your scene in record time.
