Introduction

Here's the result we'll create. A glowing API with a thin rising smoke and flying ember sparks. Everything is created using After Effects effects without additional footage. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe After Effects series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. The Generate and Simulation categories contain effects that create images from scratch. In this episode, we'll create smoke using fractal noise and sparks using CC Particle World. Create a composition from the glowing API footage.

Step 1: Smoke Solid

Create a solid named 'smoke' and apply fractal noise. Set fractal type to turbulence smooth, contrast 80, brightness minus 10, and scale 250. The result is a gray cloud texture.

Step 2: Shape the Smoke

Change the smoke layer mode to screen so only the bright parts are visible, then lower the opacity to 50%. Create an elliptical mask above the API with a fader of 200, so that the smoke only appears above the API flame.

Step 3: Smoke Rises

To make the smoke rise, animate the turbulence offset. At frame 0, Y value is 540, at frame 10, Y value is -300. Also add the expression time multiplied by 40 to evolution so the shape keeps changing. The smoke is now rising upward.

Step 4: CC Particle World

Create a solid named 'embers' and apply CC Particle World. Particles immediately burst out. Move the emitter to the center of the API. Set beard rate 0.8, longevity 2 seconds, velocity 0.6, and gravity minus 0.3, so the particles float upward.

Step 5: Color and Size of Embers

Select particle type fade sphere. Beard color bright yellow, dead color deep red. Beard size 0.05 and dead size 0.02. Change the layer mode to Add so the flame blends with the API.

Step 6: Preview

Play the preview. A thin mist rises upward, and small embers float from the API and then fade out. All elements can be adjusted anytime without re-recording.

Done!

Done. We have created smoke from fractal noise using a mask and the Screen mode. Move it using offset turbulence and the expression evolution. As well as creating ember sparks with CC Particle World. In the next episode, we will try a transition effect. Need a promotional video, logo animation, motion graphics for social media, or visual effects for a short film?
