Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm glad you learned some AE, and hopefully you can apply the concepts later down the road. If you ever need anything, feel free to reach out here or via the contact info I send out on Canvas. Have a great summer!

Being a novice I'll have to watch this again and again, but I absolutely love your way to teach: quick and straight to the point. Beautiful kaleidoscope by the way. Keep it up!

FIrst off, I love this tutorial and I'm super thankful I found it!!! If you want to build in some flexibility into your mirror angles, parent your reflection angle to the slider control then use the index function to set your angle so you aren't typing it in. Slider.control.blah.blah - ((index-1)*15). Then just duplicate that layer 24 times to get to 360°

You could just make kaleidoscope comp bigger than you need and then zoom in by increasing the scale of that comp layer.

@thosearepinklemons

For some reason this just altered and shrank all of the adjustment layers as well. the only way I found to do it (and I'm definitely a noobie rn) was to crop to the region of interest. It did work to do that but let me know if that's not right. I'm familiar with Ps and Ai but just diving into AE. I applied this kaleidoscope effect to some abstract artwork I made and it turned out great! Thanks for making the video and replying to my question

You're welcome. It's kind of hard to know exactly what the issue was without seeing the comp, but I'm glad you found the video useful.

My kaleidoscope image has an uneven corner. I can't figure out why the corner on the top right sticks out, all my angle values are the same as the example. As I move the timeline forward, it goes away and comes back. Any idea why?

Perhaps one of the mirror layers doesn't have the correct expression. If you join the Discord server you can post your aep and image for me to take a look.

How do you add music to it so that it moves with the kaleidoscope?

@CGStirk

3 жыл бұрын

Drag in some music file (or a video with music), right-click on it > Keyframe Assistant > Convert Audio to Keyframes. This creates an Audio Amplitude layer. Select this and press 'U'. From there you can attach whatever animation channel you want. Here's a link to another tutorial I made on this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oXyOx5l-kquXc5s.html&ab_channel=CGStirk.

Hi. I'm not sure what the problem is without seeing the comp. If you get one image to work, you can place as many image layers as you want in that comp and the kaleidoscope will work on all of them at the same time. Can you explain the issue in more depth?

The expression is " time * 50 ". The code has to be exact and is case-sensitive. The alternative is manually animating the evolution.

Yeah, add an adjustment layer over the kaleidoscope image or the entire comp, then add a hue/saturation effect. The expression to use depends on what you want to achieve. If you just want it to cycle, enable Colorize, then add a time expression to the Colorize Hue like: time * 90
