A Compositing Approach to the Toon Shaded Look: 30 Days of Ae

By September 4, 2014No Comments

With day 24 of the School of Motion’s 30 days of After Effects, Joey Korenman attempts to break out of out the After Effects plugin mindset by creating a toon (cartoon) look by thinking like a compositor.

Joey uses a technique from Mt. Mograph, which showed how to Create a Gooey Center for Torn Layers in After Effects.
