Sample Videos
Basic Speed Lines
A sample of basic speed lines and parallel lines seen in games and anime.
Random Interval is used to alternate lines instantly at specified frame intervals.
Ideal for comical videos.
New Speed Lines
A sample of speed lines where the lines move smoothly and naturally.
This is effective for CG and live-action videos with smooth movement.
Taper & Wave version 1.5
A sample that uses Taper and Wave.
Unlike the standard distortion effects in After Effects, the pixels are not squashed or stretched, and you can draw sharp and smooth curves.
Rain
A sample used to represent rain. The Auto Offset function automatically moves the raindrops. By using Random Interval, it is also possible to create a rain-like effect with "cel damage". Since the line In/Out function can be used to create teardrop-shaped raindrops, it is possible to create a rough and impressive rain effect.
Hatching
A sample where a stylistic touch was added using hatching. Cross hatching is added to the shadow areas rendered by 3D software.
Printing Style Sample
A sample file that reproduces the texture of printed lines found in manga and comic books. It uses all the plugins included in ComicStyle.
