Lendon Bracewell from Visionary Fire shows how to create a liquid water splash simulation effect using Newton physics plugin for Adobe After Effects
The Newtone plugin is not required, just animate a mask and combine it with stockfootage, etc.

Awesome Technique! I'm gonna have to get that plugin and definitely gonna sub 👍

Been using this plug in since 2013. It's come a long way in some respects. Great plugin for AE. Most of my corporate work really never capitalizes on it and for a while never needed it. Going off the reservation and using it for their Marcomm work and branding. Hoping it gets noticed. We shall see.

You're a pretty funny guy. Nice tutorial! Subbed.

[alisyamora]

Bro i'm only checking out your tutorials from now on, like if you had a tutorial on how to make grilled cheese, this is that channel.

I don't know if Newton 3 was completely free a year ago, but you have to pay $249 for it now, with a trial version of 25 frames free. I was using this tutorial for a passion project I'm working on, is there any way I could get an older version for free or an alternative to Newton 3?

Interesting! Embergen announced to add water simulations too very soon!

Nice work brother - the skillsets you teach in the Freelance Cult is def a necessity. I will also mention that being able to connect with other designers and bounce ideas and get critiques is helpful as well. Always nice to have additional eyes and ideas coming from other designers in a closed and trusted environment.

Unrealistically awesome! Thank you very much for the tutorial

[umarhayyat]

Brooo love it You are the man of the legends ❣️

Really appreciate your amazing work 😍

[christopherdarapper]

This tutorial did leave me satisfied ;)) Joining the freelance cult !!

[OmairX]

WOWWW!!! it is really awesome!! Thumbs up to you man! this video make me to sub to your channel! really!

[AscensionCreations]

Oo missed the live 👀. The way you combined different techniques to turn all those atoms into water molecules is just so satisfying💧. Thirsting for more tutorials like this 😅😀✌️

[prie]

300 dollar plug in and you are wondering why people left watching the video in the middle

[christopherdarapper]

gonna try this while waiting for liquigen from jangafx

[lightning]

Great tutorial! How would you do the commerical water effect in Cinema 4D? Ty in advance.

[PlanetCalm]

Thank you for this cool 💦 tutorial.
😎👌

[VisionaryFire]

It's possible to do this effect without the Newton plugin, just animate the mask on a solid, combine that with stockfootage, etc

came here for the tutorial, stayed for the jokes

[erzajumeidi]

Exactly what i'm looking for, but now i'm thinking that it's also possible to make the map with maybe using game engine or free 3d program with basic shape to make the map, (the plugin is quite pricey so i'm looking for alternative, but maybe worth to consider for big project/clients, what do i know. but it's cool, even though i wanted after effects to have physics feature natively) again thank you, but i hate the fact that the thumbnail is just a stock image, and not the results that makes me physically avoiding this video sry, i don't know if it was intended, but i love memes so nvm,

I think it's pronounced as "Nu-ton" as in Sir Isaac Newton.
