Last time I showed you how easy it is to create a handwriting-style paint animation with vector paint, one of the unique features in Boris RED. I also showed you how easy it is to add a couple of quick tweaks that add quite a bit of elegance using tools that are part of other Boris products, such as the Edge Lighting filter, upstream and downstream masks and filters, and drop shadows.
Like vector paint, the Particle System filter is one of the features that distinguishes Boris RED from FX and Graffiti. Both of those products have very powerful particle filters of their own, but those only hint at the power of Particle System, which is a fully functioning 3D world of its own.
I look forward to taking you much deeper into Particle System in the future, but for now, I'm going to show you how well it works with vector paint to create the kinds of titles that have previously been impossible to make inside an NLE. Here's what I mean:
This tutorial begins where Engrossing Paint left off, so if you haven't already, stop here and do that tutorial now. Save the final setting as engrossingPaint.red, which you'll need as we begin here.
More than that, Engrossing Paint is a beginning to intermediate-level effect, and this one is an intermediate to advanced-level effect which builds on specific information in the previous tutorial. So go on, we'll wait while you catch up.
If you've already done the "Engrossing Paint" tutorial, you surely saved the setting, as I'm certain you always do. Open it now, and let's begin.
Okay, okay, here's a setting you can start with, along with the font you'll need to install if you haven't yet. Follow the standard font installation method for your OS.
But I swear that you really need to go be on top of part one of this tutorial before tackling part two. If you haven't looked at it in a while, read it again now before proceeding. And if you haven't actually worked through that tutorial, please do so starting here.
