My abilities in After Effects want to grow so I might as well put it up here. I've had much thoughts lately on building a whole universe in 3D (2.5D technically) within After Effects.
I know CC sphere could help make some planets. other Cycore FX could make star burst, change colour and all that.
1. But what I'm stuck is with the positioning of the system as a whole and how I could perhaps increase the "attractiveness" of my space and planets (what elements is good and natural looking to add e.g. space clouds)
2. If I wanted to make the entire universe brighter would an adjustment layer be a good choice? or a few flares? or something else completely that I didn't think of? Maybe I could use an adjustment layer within each .
