With the big beta feature release a couple weeks ago there were a bunch of "But what about variable fonts?" comments that I was dying to respond to. Here they are! And they're endless fun to play with. This is just one single text layer:

Today in "extremely silly things you can make in After Effects" thanks to the new beta: bagel fountain

Fun trick with After Effects beta: as you can now transform textures on 3D models, you can do cool stuff like UV offset animation for facial expressions and lip sync.

If you want to give it a try, this character is free from Mixamo and has eyes, brows and mouth separately controllable.

Goofing around with mixing parametric meshes and expressions in After Effects beta. This is fun.

Some fun morning noodling around in After Effects with Card Dance and Radio Waves.

Also 🆕 in After Effects beta this week: spot and parallel light shadows in Advanced 3D are now faster and higher quality.

If you're looking to make your own version of the Eurovision heart-shaped halftone effect in After Effects, Card Dance or Particle Playground are the way to go. The former renders faster, the latter is quicker to set up. Both can give you some really fun results! (This clip is Card Dance.)

🆕 in After Effects beta: Spot and Parallel light shadows in Advanced 3D!

They're fast to render and fun to play with, especially mixed with shadow color. You can do everything from super-stylized sharp shadows to realistic multi-light scenes.

Here's a good example of when you might want to mess with 3D compositing options in After Effects. The text in the middle is a 3D precomp with accepts lights/shadows turned off so it's not affected by the scene lighting.

Same camera track from the other shot, now lit by a solid with a VR Color Gradients effect with its points tied to the new positional nulls (also in beta) and made 3D.
