(Updated 2019) 🐠 This tutorial shows how to create and animate 3D schools of fish using the 'Schools' After Effects template, available at creationeffects.com/schools.
Template Description:
Schools lets users create realistic, 3D schools of fish and underwater scenes in Adobe After Effects. Just drop in a fish image and it instantly converts to a school, with each fish swimming and oscillating in three dimensions. A total of 40 species of fish and marine mammals are included. Control where the fish school swims, and customize the school's swim behavior using convenient slider controls.
Copy and paste your fish schools into one of the seven pre-designed scenes (as seen in the demo video). Or, create your own rich, underwater 3D scenes with the custom water effects and a 74-image library of coral, plants, and other ocean elements. With 'Schools', even After Effects novices can create high-quality 3D animations of fish and life under the sea!
Compatible with CS5 and up. Works in 4K. Music from preview not included.
