How to create Realistic Procedural Clouds - After Effects Tutorial - No plugin

#AE #AfterEffectsTutorial #AfterEffects #3d
I am happy to publish this new after effects tutorial on how to generate realistic procedural clouds.
This After effects project doesn't require any plugin, no images, no prerendered footage, a fully animated clouds with the option to autogenerate instances.
I noticed people are downloading the files without practicing the tutorial, and now project files are no more for free:
You can still download the project files on:

This is the most comprehensive cloud tutorial in youtube

only needed the first half, but stayed to watch the second, the camera stuff was enlightening. Thanks a lot!

This feels so professional, and it is super beneficial to not have to search for the perfect stock footage. Thank you!!

I've been spending all day trying to create this in C4D and Blender, and then you come along with this genius way of making clouds... Just wanna punch myself for not thinking of it first! Simple, easy to tweak, effective. Brilliant. Always tried to avoid clouds in AE because they never really looked like I wanted them to. But these are pretty damn close to photoreal when layered and offset.

i had over 16 years in this field and i want to say this video is the best tutorial ever, made a real thing from scratch... wish all the best

Excellent and thorough tutorial for a high quality effect. Also enjoyed the background music which is more than I can say for most other tutorials!

I'm really new to AE (I have done a couple of full courses...so much to learn...) I did manage to get some really nice clouds. Ive never used the camera function before and I got lost a few times, especially when trying to sweep up on the cloud to change camera position at 10 seconds but I just used the position handles (?) kept repeating the steps and got to the end of the tutorial. Really enjoyed it, very clear instructions.

Thank you so much, your calm voice and the speed of description are perfect to understand everything clear.

Wow! That's the best and fastest way to create clouds which looks super 3D without even having to simulate & render in 3D for God knows how many hours or days even! The proximity operation blew my mind in the end! I never thought it was possible with AE to create such realistic clouds! Thank you so much❤❤❤❤

Subscribed for that opacity expression alone, keep it up!

[kevinbhz]

Probably the best AE tuto I've seen so far. Thanks

[fabchan]

Thank you for this awesome tutorial. This is the most realistic AE-generated cloud that I've ever seen! 🍻

[foziariaz]

Thank I have been working on a project to create fog/cloud with this effect for a few months. I've tried many different tuts and techniques but never managed to get it right until now!!! Really appreciate it and all the tricks and techniques you have shared are very helpful! Have a blessed day! Best regards from London !

Very nice and usable. Note: if you want to save CPU you can switch off the second Turbulent Displace, render time becomes less than half.

[SharynAlice]

Wow, the complexity in the adjustment layer adds so much. Thank you for making this!

[IanConnel]

The way you start a video is how everyone should do it. SHOW what we'll get and EXPLAIN the process. Awesome!

[Kooldude.]

The opactiy expression is really life saver

[Celichan]

This helped me so much! You actually made me like this program, I had no idea one could do stuff like this, so nice!!

[wolfhill-]

I love the thought process and the automation of things like the cloud z position, real time savers! great tutorial!

[nanomantube]

Probably the best tut on clouds I've found. Thanks for sharing!
