Animating Spirographby Ashish Rastogi, India
Step 9: Apply Radial wipe transition (Effect > Transition> Radial Wipe) on the layer and set Transition Complete – 100% at 0s and 0% at 5s. Increase the feather value and also change the wipe center. Check the settings dialog box image below.
Step 10: Apply the Glow effect (Effect > Stylize> Glow) on the layer and choose the following settings. Try increasing the Color Loops value for more exciting and different shades of colors.
Step 11: Now select the layer and pre-compose. Layer Pre-compose…
Step 12: Now your effect is almost complete, just duplicate the layer two times and enable the 3D layer for those and rotate the spirograph in all the axis to get the mirroring effect. Try changing the modes to ADD, SOFT LIGHT and others too.
Step 13: Add the camera layer (Layer > New > Camera) and move the camera world in the world to get the desired effect. I am not writing any settings for this because it totally depends on the experiment and settings are useless until each and everything in the scene created using exact dimensions which we are not doing here... because our main object understands the concept so we can create more wonderful effects.
Step 14: After everything is complete our background is looking little empty, so create a solid layer in the bottom and apply a ramp effect on this background layer.
