Description
Make gnarls in After Effects with only one Turbulent Noise effect and no 3rd party plugins! And if you found this pretty gnarly and want to dive deeper into After Effects' Turbulent Noise and Fractal Noise effects, check out Fractal Noise Browser from https://aescripts.com/fractal-noise-browser
Gnarl [nahrl]: A term used by fractal artists to describe noise patterns featuring opposing directional flows that interrupt each other to create vortex-like, fluid dynamics
Settings:
Fractal type: Dynamic Twist
Noise Type: Linear, Soft Linear or Spline
Complexity and Sub Influence: Higher numbers will create more defined vortices
Turbulence Factor: Set to 1.0
Sub scaling: Set to 100%
Or try slightly more/less than 100% for directional gnarls
Adjust Noise Type, Contrast, Brightness and Overflow for different looks
