What's This Effect? Shimmering Hex Things?

Post by Kegemaru » Thu Jul 02, 2015 11:33 am

I want to be able to remake this effect; the hexagons that shimmer and seem to move slowly over the scene. Here's the link to a gif of it: http://imgur.com/6Dlo20z

Thanks in advance!

The easiest way would be to find an overlay/sparkle you like, then put it on top of your footage and set the layer blending mode to Screen

There are tons on Youtube that people usually provide download links for :D

Then there's the hardmode of trying to create your own... but ain't nobody got time for that

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll probably just do that; i tried making my own and you're right-- ITS SO MUCH WORK
