This was really helpful! Not just for how to make the waves smooth, but how to make waves in general!
Thank you for making this!

Why you have to make the waves sharper if you choose blur at first ???

Thank you so much for the quick tutorial!

[emelio]

hi, is it possible to parent wave wrap effect to the object? Let's say the effect is already applied and it's moving the way I want, but I just want the object to be connected to the layer with wave wrap, but this object shouldn't have wave warp effect.

[mollyriggleman]

Why not just use a vector shape that keeps its crispness as it changes or does the warp effect change that?

Me ayudó a corregir un defecto que tenían mis olas, muchas gracias!

This is very helpful! I've been trying to find other ways to animate a big wave because it get jagged when I make the waves too big in wave warp. I kinda defaulted to animating the wave manually or move the shape instead which is a pain. I'll try this out on thin lines too and see if it works as well! Thank you!

Can i transform this effect in keyframes? I need to export in .json file using Bodymovin, but this plugin can't render effects, only keyframes

[TimandLauren]

are there any other channels similar to camp keyframe?

this is GOLD!!!

[johnphillipsantos]

How did you added the gradient on the shapes? gradient ramp?

[MobileMinigun]
