Splitting Liquid Shapes (like how cells divide) – Adobe After Effects tutorial
Watch solid shapes break apart like they’re made of liquid gross crap. This is kind of how cells divide. But not really. Someone asked me about how to divide cells and after I told them what I read on wikipedia and they said they just needed to animate it I told them to just draw it. But really there is a simpler solution, with much much less drawing.
It uses the often overlooked roughen edges effect and it’s pretty darn versatile. You’ll be making cool stuff with this in no time… or space.

This file ONLY works in After Effects CS6 and NEWER. But would work best in adobe CC.
