i've had to make smoke like this countless times
<= br>
its very easy and fast to draw a bunch of circles right in AE= as shape layers and then animate them accordingly. if you want stop motion= style precomp them and set the framerate lower and lock that rate in the c= omp prefs, or apply a posterizeTime expression

you can make something like that in a few minutes

Hey Brian.M for the sa= ke of better understanding=C2=A0
(because I will resort to frame = by frame seems the best course of action)
=C2=A0about the radiowaves effect it seems it doesn't have a fill = or am I wrong? i.e it only
allows the duplication of the contours but not the inside. (guess othe= rwise it would be a particle system)
so I would get empty puffs I= guess..

Subject: [AE] cartoon smoke puff effect
=C2=A0
hey fellas=20

I'm trying to figure out a way to make a cool cartoon puff of smok= e
but avoid doing it frame by frame in photoshop.=C2=A0

I'm trying to achieve this type of effect

I think particular won't do and ae shapes give too symmetrical res= ults
for this type of animation.=C2=A0

any workflow suggestions?

or do I have to resort to frame by frame in flash or photoshop?
(which from my research is the preferred technique for this type of an= imation)
=C2=A0
Thanks
