Hello there!

I am using After Effect CS6. I am beginner. I am finding difficult to achieve the hexagonal animation (first one in the given link) in the link.

I am using trim path and repeater in shape layer to get the desired animation. But the problem is firstly animation starting with the blank background. Secondly, as per GIF in the link, animation is moving radially outward from the centre which is not happening in my case. All animation in the hexagons are happening in the same time. Please suggest me how can I get the animation same as in the link. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I need see this animation in very slow motion to understand what he did. But I think you can try achieve this using Kaleida CC effect and Mirror effect. I think he make a unique composition and staggered the animation repeating duplicate comps. The scale and rotating zoom, you can use a camera to do this.

Thanks Lucas for looking into it!

I tried Kaleida CC effect but no luck.

I created a hexagon with trim path, then I am surrounding the centre hexagon with hexagons using repeater and so on.. to complete the full screen. I am getting the almost same animation as in the link. Few problems are:

  1. Animation is starting with blank screen.
  2. All the animation happening in the same time which is not the case with animation in the link.Animation starts with centre then moving radially outward in the link's GIF.

Is my approach to achieve this animation right? If not please suggest me.

Thanks in advance

PS : I am beginner, just working around to learn.
