Join Chad Perkins for an in-depth discussion in this video About Layer Maps, part of Learning Trapcode Form (2013).
In this chapter we're going to look at using your own custom maps, to control form. …And, just like we've been doing throughout this whole training series. …In this tutorial we're just going to keep things very simply we're not out to make …things look good here we're just out to explain the concept and then we're going …to apply what we've learned to something actually really cool, you actually want …to make, in the next movie. So let's first look at the layer that …I've created here. It's actually several layers of particles …and fractal noise. Again, nothing spectacular to write your …parents about. But just something that we can see what's …going on here. We have the fractal noise on the size of …the edges here that doesn't move and then we also have these particles in the …center that kind of pop like bubbles. And the reason why it's not super …spectacular is because I want to be very clear what's happening.…
Also if we go to the channel drop down here we'll just look at the outfit …
