For example, you could overlay a texture on a wolf, but you could not add a saddle to a wolf, since the saddle would be higher than the wolf’s back, extending beyond the boundaries of the original shape. You can edit the original images to change the look of a wolf, as long as your edits stay within the edges of the original wolf shape. You can place the wolves in your 3D scenes, but the wolves are 2D (flat) and can only be seen from a profile (side view).Īt 100% scale, wolves are 2000 x 1135 pixels when standing. Also included are the wolf skeleton, wolf tattoo, and glowing wolf effects, as seen in the demo video (backgrounds and 3D scenes are not included).Įach wolf has 9 primary actions: Stand, Walk, Trot, Run, Jump, Sit Down, Lie Down, Sit Up, and Stand Up. This template includes three wolves, with black, white, and brown coat colors. This template uses After Effects’ new Advanced Puppet Pin tool, and is only compatible with Adobe After Effects version 16.0 (CC 2019) and up. For animators who need even more control, the pins on the wolf can always be adjusted. even adjust the intensity and speed of the breathing. Howl, snarl, twitch the ears, blink the eyes, sniff the nose.

Secondary actions have easy-to-use controls, so you can keyframe the different properties. “ Secondary Actions” offer even more control, allowing you to make custom movements of the paws, head, tail, mouth, and more. Each wolf is on a single layer, so once you have chosen your primary actions, all you need to do is animate your wolf layer’s position to move across the frame. You can assign any combination of primary actions to a wolf with a few clicks of a mouse, while maintaining control over the timing and duration of actions, and smoothly transitioning from action to action. The nine preset movements, called “ Primary Actions”, range from walking to jumping to lying down.

Using the preset movements built into each wolf, the amount of animating work required by you is minimal! Wolves uses the Advanced Puppet Pin tool in After Effects on high-resolution profile images of wolves to create complex and realistic movements.
