Great tutorial - love that you walked us through just about the whole effect. I was a little sad that you made some changes without showing them at 7:58 because I wanted to follow you as best as I could until the end, but regardless, I learned so much. Thanks again
this has been a life saver for me. i needed a way to do water effects as a texture, but didnt know how. thank you for showing a budding Cg guy how to do his job! lol
Really dope tutorial! A side-note, if you end up seeing this. It'd be great if you verbally narrated everything you were doing. Most of the parameters are covered, but if the video itself is not fullscreen it's more difficult to follow. Phrases like "changing this value a little bit" or "bumping *this* up", when not specifying what it is means the viewer has to stop and look at your screen. Thanks for the amazing tutorials though, I'm a faithful subscriber now!
Excellent tutorial! I also tried this using Tao and it's great. My only issue is i'm unable to fake the clarity of water. Can you tell me which property i should change? I'm not getting anywhere in my materials and light settings. I've managed something reasonable using blend modes but I suspect that's not the best way in this case.
Hi i want to manipulate Mir to form round a circle shape to give the impression of a tunnel, then with fractal create effects that respons to music with soundkeys. whats the simplest way to change the geometry of mir so that it forms a circular tunnel ?
There was an Andrew Kramer NAB show a few years ago and he cracked a joke about the levels effect. He said something like:" No one is using Levels...One guy did...Now he is dead!" : D Awesome tutorial by the way!
You can also do this pretty easily in a 3d program : 1. Bend a cylinder which ever form you want the "water" to flow 2. Add two noise modifiers that will ripple the polys (you'll need a lot).. one big and one tiny 2.5. Displacement modifiers also work, with animating the gizmo of the uvw map or the size 3. Add keyframes to the noise values 4. Add material (duh) something glass ish.
This stylized water flow tut is really useful, nice work. Question, is the control over flow path limited to the basic shape bending, rotating, and such you show here? Can you think of any way to apply this along a path? I have a 3D model, would like to composite the flow path of water on a layer atop a lower layer being this 3D animation showing a stack of these geologic units, water appears to move between them (simulate aquifers). Can be schematic shapes, not intricate conduits. Thanks for your thoughts on that.
Yeah Mir is more for static geometric designs, but Trapcode Tao is more dynamic and works with paths. You can create something similar using Tao and have more control over the path of the geometry. This would probably be your better bet.
anyone can tell me, how to type in the Time*40 for Scroll Y in the timeline on the video timing 4.41... ? I need help now.. I click on the scroll Y also cannot? double-click also cannot.. Teach me!
Great! And you can somehow remove the gradient background, but at the same time so that its influence on the water flow remains. So that the stream is on a black background?
Yes, good question and I probably should've included that in the video. You can cut the background out by applying something like a Set Channels effect to the background and set it to the alpha of the Mir layer. It should cut itself out to areas where only the water exists haha. Basically you're using the alpha of the water to cut out the background.
That would be so cool! If you take request I would personally rather see the tutorial focus applied on text layers along with standalone particles, flat and 3d.
Can you help me, Like 3 or 4 of my trapcode plugins freeze after effects and crash it! Including MIR Ive tried different versions of trapcode, and even went from CS6 to CC 2015 but no luck :(
CS6 to CC 2015 is an upgrade as cs6 is made in 2011 or 2012, rn i have cc 2017 and latest trapcode! And my pc isnt the problem, I have a Core i7-6700K and a GTX 1080 with 32gb of ram
Since this has not many comments could I have your skype cause I want to get after effects I don't know most of the stuff you said and you go to fast In my opinion so if you could help me 2-3 times cause I'm a 11 year old boy looking to impress people on my channel and my friends with cool intros and transitions so if you could help me then that would be awsome
If you take a basic chemistry class, you'd know water can have multiple states, something you might be familiar with is ice (water in solid form). Woah, I know.
Ohhh, I thought you meant POWDERED WATER. Indeed, water in it's solid WOULD be ice, very good. Looks like you took Chem 101. Sooo, water in it's gaseous state would be...hmm, vapors. Water in it's liquid state is...just, come on say it with me...water. And if you took basic english, you would understand the word "Redundant".
Yea never said this was a beginner tutorial. If youre having trouble keeping up with changing properties in a plugin, it might be best to brush up on the fundamentals. It’s in video form so re-watching segments is always an option. Not that you will, though.

I've looked for a video like this for 6 months now and finally found a good one! Thanks alot!
Glad you enjoyed the tutorial!
Nice approach to simulate water in after effects. I really liks this, becaus its so simple, but still beautiful ;) Keep up the great work :)
this has been a life saver for me. i needed a way to do water effects as a texture, but didnt know how. thank you for showing a budding Cg guy how to do his job! lol
Top Notch tutorial and effect, worked like a charm. Thank You!
Just wanted I needed! Amazing technique!
oh you're back! :D nice tut!
This is really cool man, gunna try and use this for some music videos! 🙌
hey man, amazing tutorials!
Hey VinhSon, how did you get yours to bend like in the first example you show? Cheers!
Really dope tutorial!

Thank youu
Awesome result, ty.
Yes!!! Your back.
I uploaded last month! :D
Thanks, great tutorial!
can you make an updated version for mir 3?
it's nice tutorial! I want to make the water flow like the first part of your video. would you please teach me your know-how! plz

AWEsome man!Thank You
Hi i want to manipulate Mir to form round a circle shape to give the impression of a tunnel, then with fractal create effects that respons to music with soundkeys. whats the simplest way to change the geometry of mir so that it forms a circular tunnel ?
Nice tutorial!
How to bend like your first example? Great tutorial!
can you explain what you did with the background (just before you start project you copy and pasted couple background layers)
Thank you! Amazing

this is awesome!!
Hi, is possible to export the water with a transparent background? How can I do that? Thanks, Amazing tutorial
my water is shorter and when i try to make it longer it starts to curve in alot
You are realllllllllly good at teaching
Appreciate it!
is there any possibility to make 3D OBJ has this water liquid surface in an obj sequences?
Ohh nice can u make the flash s02 portal effect?
Thanks for this.
that’s amazing❤
gtx 1080 and i7 7700k will be enough to make a audio spectrum with very minimum effects and will.it render under 1 hour ?
Thanks, I'll try. Another question) How to loop this effect?
amazing - thx !!!
Fantastic work.!!!
Thank you Paul!
Any good tutorials about using this with tao for water to follow paths and maybe shapes?
Hi Vinhson Nguyen is that liquid can follow through the mask ?
how can i scale my after effects ui like yours
MIR: OpenGL error: could not allocate texFBO (512) (25::241)----why is this happening every time I use mir?
neat effect thanks
감사합니다~

thanks mate !
great lesson!!! but I can't do what you didn't show in this lesson between 7: 57 and 7: 59.
can you show how to create a foam of waves
OH MY GOD, YOU ARE BACK, I FUCKING MISSED YOU!
Missed you too!
Grande cabesa!
thanks
ty!!
You're welcome!
what color is that gradient for background?
Hey Can i get the .aep?
do I need the whole suite / Particular for this as well?
or just Mir?
mir
awesome tutorial !
Thank you!
VinhSon Nguyen It's possible downloaded and using this effect for after effects 7.0?
no

Seems Phong is missing in newer versions
I don´t have fractal type
Thank you
You're welcome!
what does trap code mir actually do ??
amazing. just wrote you in FB.
anyone can tell me, how to type in the Time*40 for Scroll Y in the timeline on the video timing 4.41... ? I need help now.. I click on the scroll Y also cannot? double-click also cannot.. Teach me!
hi nice tutorial....how to work with path in MIR
any tutorials on that?
Creates realistic water effect, calls it "quick tutorial" lol subscribed
Hi , By any chance do you know how to use my own path or shapes in Trapcode Form rather than its built in paths ?
You'll need something like Trapcode Tao.
Great! And you can somehow remove the gradient background, but at the same time so that its influence on the water flow remains. So that the stream is on a black background?
Yes, good question and I probably should've included that in the video.

It should cut itself out to areas where only the water exists haha. Basically you're using the alpha of the water to cut out the background.
@@CreativeDojoThanks for the light. I had to play a little with colors. The main thing is what happened)
Nice video man! what's the next video you going to make?
Hopefully a video over Stardust. Thanks!
That would be so cool! If you take request I would personally rather see the tutorial focus applied on text layers along with standalone particles, flat and 3d.

Background?
can i do any shape like i want to make cube of water?
I'm not sure, but just try to put cube from .obj file
Question: Is Trapcode Mir a software, or is it a plugin for After Effects?
plugin made by trapcode
Mac specs?
there is no phong in my mir shader
How to make a waterball effect with that?
Can you help me, Like 3 or 4 of my trapcode plugins freeze after effects and crash it! Including MIR
Ive tried different versions of trapcode, and even went from CS6 to CC 2015 but no luck :(
CS6 to CC 2015 is an upgrade as cs6 is made in 2011 or 2012, rn i have cc 2017 and latest trapcode!
And my pc isnt the problem, I have a Core i7-6700K and a GTX 1080 with 32gb of ram
I will post it 1 second :) My TAO Crashes too, Mabey a gpu problem
I can’t find phong? 🤔
Phong=smooth
Since this has not many comments could I have your skype cause I want to get after effects I don't know most of the stuff you said and you go to fast In my opinion so if you could help me 2-3 times cause I'm a 11 year old boy looking to impress people on my channel and my friends with cool intros and transitions so if you could help me then that would be awsome
there is a tutorial with TAO, to create a water path?
Not yet, could make one in the future but the parameters are the same.
Creative Dojo would like to make a spiral water flow
how to download mir effect . please
www.redgiant.com/products/trapcode-mir/
Fadi khalifa spthe product keys are in my xmast pack ;)
thank you
when i click phong like nothing changes. only a bit tho
change the position of your lights like hime (check their position)
already tried. nothing changes
when i type "time"40" as told in 4:42 it shows an error!
NegiMox the expression is "time*40", you're mising the "*" star
@@CreativeDojo Oh,thanks it worked!
@@CreativeDojo btw can we make the water splash up for ex when lighting hits the water it goes up,so can we animate the "Mir" like that?
贼牛逼
Thief cattle forced?
themplate please :3
LIQUID water?? Whoa.
If you take a basic chemistry class, you'd know water can have multiple states, something you might be familiar with is ice (water in solid form). Woah, I know.
Ohhh, I thought you meant POWDERED
WATER. Indeed, water in it's solid WOULD be ice, very good. Looks like you took Chem 101. Sooo, water in it's gaseous state would be...hmm, vapors. Water in it's liquid state is...just, come on say it with me...water.
And if you took basic english, you would understand the word "Redundant".
And ice + whisky = solid headache
=D
great lesson!!! but I can't do what you didn't show in this lesson between 7: 57 and 7: 59.
i only came here because someone said TRAP NATION uses mir as the line particle. no one knows how to do it. ;-;
LiQuId WaTeR
Expression error..didn't work, time"60
not time"60 , time*60
Thank you
Is it just me or does it look like he’s using a hackintosh?
Everyone is complaining, its probably because they have no experience ;P
Really bad tutorial is not a tutorial, you don't explain anything and you go so fast
