Radio Detection and Ranging
Radar Detection and Ranging
| A CreativeCOW After Effects Video Tutorial |
Article Focus:
In this video tutorial, Jerzy Drozda Jr (aka Maltaannon) demonstrates how to create a radar that really works! You'll draw the radar, animate the target over it, and watch how the radar detects the object by itself, marks it on the grid and even makes a beeping sound.
This tutorial is no different from the others. It's not really about creating a certain effect. Oh no. It's about solving common and uncommon problems, and about finding solutions to situations that might occur in the future. All to help you work more efficiently by saving huge amounts of time. It's not about the final visual result, but the way to get there.

Comments | | | | Really really awesome!! I ´m your little mexican fan :P | | | | |
| | | | i downloaded the file but there's no sound for it. how can i turn it on? | | | | |
| | | | Loved the tutorial thanks. Just had one problem with it. When I applied the polar coordinates, the left and right edges of my radar clipped off the edges of the screen. Even when I reduced the scale with the adjustment transform, the clipped edges reduced with it. Any suggestions? I have AE 7 if that makes a difference. | | | | |

Thanks for the great tutorial! Its always great to find new ways to do things you haven't thought about before. Unfortunately I am still in AE 6.5 and can not open the project file, but would still like to see the code you wrote for the detection. Could you post it? Thanks! | | | | |
| | | | Thanks for the great tutorial! I have wanted to know how to make a good radar simulation for some time and this one is excellent.
I'm trying to learn expressions so this was very helpful in that respect as well. I wish that you could have gone into depth a little more on the more complicated expressions but I still learned a lot.
Thanks again. Keep up the great work! | | | | |

The "Scribble" and the "Stroke" effects are often overlooked due to the fact that it isn't immediately obvious how they work as they won't work unless applied in a very particular way. In this in-depth tutorial, Andrew Devis explains how to apply these effects and then goes through the many options in each effect which can make them very powerful and able to produce a surprisingly large variety of results.
