1
00:00:01,110 --> 00:00:07,570
Guys I'll show you how to create a complex shape complex shape is very many shapes put together.

2
00:00:07,570 --> 00:00:12,610
But at the end they form a single shape of course visually inside aftereffects.

3
00:00:12,610 --> 00:00:18,530
And then as you can see it is different shapes but actually you can create very complex one.

4
00:00:18,590 --> 00:00:22,370
And for this you are going to use the Mersch path.

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,540
Let's start with this start I doubleclick to create the filmstar here.

6
00:00:26,570 --> 00:00:32,580
Turn down come to the Polish start path and give it for example 12 sites will do good.

7
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,510
I will come to the other radius and make it smaller.

8
00:00:35,740 --> 00:00:39,420
Ok I need more maybe 2020 would be nicer.

9
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:47,010
Our aim here is to create a gear and this gear has to be looking like a single shape and the stroke

10
00:00:47,020 --> 00:00:54,020
hit is to help us to determine how many ships you are seeing visually won't see a single ship.

11
00:00:54,430 --> 00:00:57,630
We are going to start by chopping off the outside here.

12
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:02,410
The spikes here and we go by chopping off the spikes at the inner side.

13
00:01:03,350 --> 00:01:10,670
Ocilla police on the ship itself not the group of ships and come to an ellipse.

14
00:01:11,150 --> 00:01:13,120
This is I will make it quite big.

15
00:01:13,260 --> 00:01:13,730
OK.

16
00:01:13,940 --> 00:01:19,210
To chop the outside so I want to chop everything that is outside the ellipse.

17
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,240
If you start playing with these guys it might not work here.

18
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,650
OK it's actually not under your control.

19
00:01:24,650 --> 00:01:28,360
These guys behave in a certain way because it's an exhaust.

20
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,380
If you want X or to be in control you need to add the most part.

21
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:40,720
I would select the add here and go and select the most part but it's either most but over here and I

22
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:46,180
would like to do is to look at the options we have merge doesn't do much.

23
00:01:46,220 --> 00:01:47,180
Not just what happened here.

24
00:01:47,180 --> 00:01:53,960
We're better off with the odd That has added the two shapes up pretty good and you have the subtract

25
00:01:54,380 --> 00:01:55,670
also very cool.

26
00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:58,950
You say guys you have these small spikes you can rotate them.

27
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,490
I have a son account.

28
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:01,380
I don't know.

29
00:02:01,490 --> 00:02:06,700
Then you have the Intersect Well the sex seems it's working.

30
00:02:06,740 --> 00:02:14,070
It has intersected the Eliphaz path one with the Palestine and everything outside this it has cut off.

31
00:02:14,210 --> 00:02:20,120
You can see that these spikes have been cut off because we have the circle here and the polystyrene

32
00:02:20,140 --> 00:02:22,100
inside is very nice.

33
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:27,780
Now I want to chop off these guys from here or we want to add something to cover them up.

34
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:28,880
I would select Mersch pass.

35
00:02:28,900 --> 00:02:30,790
I stay in the poly star.

36
00:02:31,130 --> 00:02:33,020
I will add now another ellipse.

37
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,780
You are this ellipse is above the Merced path.

38
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:38,930
I would click on it drag and put it on.

39
00:02:39,100 --> 00:02:40,820
Now you could think about it like this.

40
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,100
Everything above this Mersch path is that it's merged together.

41
00:02:45,100 --> 00:02:51,200
You notice the stroke and everything under still independent to work on this.

42
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:58,270
Let's take the ellipse itself and just grow it up to here for example let's see what happens.

43
00:02:58,460 --> 00:03:05,870
Well you can still see that you have two shapes but actually did a good job here to merge all this together.

44
00:03:05,870 --> 00:03:08,470
Of course you are going to use a mouse path.

45
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,290
So we've got to merge and use emersed path and this much should be at the end.

46
00:03:13,670 --> 00:03:18,930
And we have to use the Add CD and we'll add them all together.

47
00:03:19,150 --> 00:03:19,760
Wow.

48
00:03:19,940 --> 00:03:22,600
Now you have something you have almost a gear.

49
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,370
So what is the logic here.

50
00:03:24,530 --> 00:03:33,050
Mersch path we create for all the ships above like a single ship and using the mode here it depends

51
00:03:33,050 --> 00:03:38,250
on how you want to create the shape you can add and subtract that or exclude the intersections.

52
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:44,420
So now at that point of this most Bestway have a single ship fight this creates the hole over here.

53
00:03:45,310 --> 00:03:52,360
Now select most path to stay inside the group and then we go on and we add the so the Elop should be

54
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:53,580
under the most part.

55
00:03:53,650 --> 00:03:57,450
OK because we want to work on everything that's above this Mersch path.

56
00:03:57,490 --> 00:04:04,570
Then I'm going to grow the elipse whatever like for example here is good here you can use the reverse

57
00:04:04,570 --> 00:04:05,900
path it will work.

58
00:04:06,070 --> 00:04:11,440
But since we are in Mersch path let's add a space under the ellipse.

59
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:18,830
I would come and add in most part under the lips of course I want to put on the this pass will work

60
00:04:18,830 --> 00:04:23,110
on this ellipse and this merged path which has merged all the above.

61
00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:27,260
So this one I think I should take subtract will work.

62
00:04:27,410 --> 00:04:27,980
Yup.

63
00:04:28,370 --> 00:04:30,810
So you have a very nice good box here.

64
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:35,700
And if you look at the stroke you will notice that it's like a single shape.

65
00:04:35,750 --> 00:04:38,740
It's not two three ships that you can see with the stroke and so on.

66
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:43,650
It's one single chip of course if you're doing the stroke they're going to be looking like it's in the

67
00:04:43,650 --> 00:04:49,840
ship this close the police start here and choose content and go out and others that will double click

68
00:04:49,850 --> 00:04:52,590
simply and just put it just over here.

69
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:53,310
OK.

70
00:04:54,280 --> 00:05:01,030
So let's set that content and I've been ambushed by as soon as you add in the most part it has a stroke

71
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,010
and if one was the reason here there is a feel here.

72
00:05:05,020 --> 00:05:07,410
These are group shapes.

73
00:05:07,510 --> 00:05:08,720
It has struck tricky.

74
00:05:08,940 --> 00:05:17,500
Because if you use the you are using the DOD It is a single ship which it requires stroke and it feel

75
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,960
so dramatically after effect added for you a stroke and a feel for the most part.

76
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,590
So actually this most part you can logically think about it as a single shape.

77
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,530
And look what happens.

78
00:05:29,530 --> 00:05:34,880
You can just come and stage a stroke for everything within the most part.

79
00:05:35,110 --> 00:05:35,610
OK.

80
00:05:35,860 --> 00:05:37,770
Let's pull it back to its better.

81
00:05:38,050 --> 00:05:42,130
And you have a single feel for all of them.

82
00:05:42,130 --> 00:05:46,310
If I turn them the fail come over here make it more beautiful.

83
00:05:46,310 --> 00:05:47,760
They get more reddish.

84
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:48,540
OK.

85
00:05:48,610 --> 00:05:49,880
Here you are.

86
00:05:50,290 --> 00:05:52,870
So the concept here is very powerful.

87
00:05:53,200 --> 00:06:00,010
I will do the same for example within the police start to come over here like select this one and add

88
00:06:00,430 --> 00:06:08,190
a new ellipse inside to make the hole and take the hole and go to bed just like this.

89
00:06:08,530 --> 00:06:11,160
And maybe I can play with these guys is not working.

90
00:06:11,230 --> 00:06:14,290
So I have to immerse path which I will.

91
00:06:14,290 --> 00:06:15,630
Here is the path.

92
00:06:15,850 --> 00:06:16,420
OK.

93
00:06:16,450 --> 00:06:18,900
And of course in the past you know very well you don't.

94
00:06:18,970 --> 00:06:21,180
You are going to use subtract.

95
00:06:21,180 --> 00:06:21,670
OK.

96
00:06:21,850 --> 00:06:23,120
Look what we have done.

97
00:06:23,380 --> 00:06:24,800
Pretty cool guys right.

98
00:06:25,660 --> 00:06:31,980
Now you can decide to come on and eat them but still you have two ships here two group of ships so if

99
00:06:31,990 --> 00:06:34,990
you knew me it was in the transformed star.

100
00:06:35,010 --> 00:06:40,080
Here's the rotation for example our keyframe over here at 0.

101
00:06:40,090 --> 00:06:43,390
Go to the end and give it one rotation.

102
00:06:43,390 --> 00:06:44,020
Pretty cool.

103
00:06:44,020 --> 00:06:50,740
Come back to EARLY START to find that the transformed police start to and then keyframe the rotation

104
00:06:50,850 --> 00:06:53,560
at minus 1 ok.

105
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,210
Come back to the beginning and put it at zero.

106
00:06:57,210 --> 00:07:05,770
Now if I run the animation you'll have a ship that is rolling into itself and it's a very cool animation.

107
00:07:05,850 --> 00:07:09,910
Now it's going to take some practice from you guys to start playing with the most part.

108
00:07:09,930 --> 00:07:15,360
There's a certain logic and certain understanding but believe me it's extremely powerful to create some

109
00:07:15,420 --> 00:07:19,190
amazing shapes that will make illustrator you know shape.

110
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,500
But mainly of course because you are animating them.

111
00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:23,240
That's the power guys.

112
00:07:23,250 --> 00:07:29,190
Thank you very much for listening to me and to the explanation for the most part and I hope you go out

113
00:07:29,220 --> 00:07:31,020
and create some amazing shape.

114
00:07:31,110 --> 00:07:33,270
Please create a video uploaded to YouTube.

115
00:07:33,270 --> 00:07:39,510
I was so happy to see your work and be proud of how you are developing in the course.

116
00:07:39,510 --> 00:07:40,140
Thank you.

117
00:07:40,140 --> 00:07:41,270
I'll see you in the next lecture.
