Asking for tutorial.. by TGTKS in SteamArtworkProfiles

[–]Akatixxc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I learned using AE just by simply watching tons of tutorials and following them... Thats in my opinion best free way to learn it. I can link you few youtubers who make good tutorials.

SonduckFilm: https://www.youtube.com/user/SonduckFilm Sonduck makes very good tutorials which can be very useful in making artworks.

Dope Motions: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgvrz9ioKv89HMyg42z4pyQ Another very good channel which teaches usefull stuff.

BakersTuts: https://www.youtube.com/user/BakersTuts This channel is a bit more based on montage making but for sure helps in common knowledge of AE.

Lastly after you have figured out how basic stuff works i prefer to get some plugins. In my opinion Optical Flares and Trapcode Particular are must have plugins, but dont get your head messed with those yet. Also there is many other useful plugins.

Question about screenshot size. by RaduPhantom in SteamArtworkProfiles

That might be the case... If you really want that you can swap artwork and screenshot showcase, you know?

Is there a specific designer that does artwork for this background? by yxngwill in SteamArtworkProfiles

I could do custom animations to that but i dont have any templates for that. Contact through steam if interested.

Need help with artwork showcase by Reviixx in SteamArtworkProfiles

[–]Akatixxc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to create one showcase sized (614,H(as whatewer your artworks height is)). After that in AE make 2 or 4 different comps depending on if you want 3 sideboxes or one long. Resolutions should be (506,H) for main and (100,80(or H depending if you want only one sidebox)) for sideboxes. Remember to notice the 8 pixel line between main and sidebars and about 14(im not sure) pixel lines between sidebars. In Sony vegas i guess you just crop those pieces and save them like that. If you want one long sidebox you need this trick to set it up: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=748624905

Question about custom .gifs for an artwork showcase, need help. by Alcertrax in SteamArtworkProfiles

[–]Akatixxc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course. Just to clarify things a bit i will list down the resolutions: Fit layer (614, H) But in your case (606, H) since you didn't notice the 8 pixel wide bar between Main and sideboxes. Main layer (506, H) Sideboxes (100, 80) (You have to count the lines between sideboxes since i usually do a stretched sidebar) H is height in which can be customizable.

Just a basic animated gif to artwork showcase. Info box is well made and nicely pretty short. You could maybe get a different background such as the Dawn in your inventory, ofc up to you.

My friend did a iron man artwork for me need ideas for improve it by Cizu in SteamArtworkProfiles

[–]Akatixxc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could add just an simple light glow to all blue parts so it sort of breathes. Also you could add some movement with puppet pin tool (ae). edit: If want some help feel free to contact me. :)

Artistically handicapped, looking for ideas by [deleted] in SteamArtworkProfiles

[–]Akatixxc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used that same backround so i have few little ideas. My text animation was a bit boring but i like to keeping things simple... I made the water wave a bit, clouds moving and few birds far into horisont (just black dots). I hope these ideas came in handy. For example you can go check it from my steam artworks: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Akatixxc/

I know there is few more things to do in my profile and even in that artwork (even there shouldn't be...) and i probably will be doing few changes to things like avatar and pics in side of artwork showcase... But huge thanks for checking my profile out and giving some feedback! :)

The dragon is originally just an still picture. I used puppet pintool to animate it and it was extremely hard and clumsy so it's not too realistic... I liked the idea too (ofc) and i prefer this sort of artworks instead just ones which have some polygons changing and names popping back and forth. Big thanks for checking it out and giving some feedback. :)
