Creating A Bouncy Branch in After Effects

Learn some pretty simple techniques for creating a springy organic vine or branch. This method could be used for fishing rods, diving boards, vines, tails, rope and more. I also touch on a concept for point constraining objects in After Effects or parenting objects without the effects of rotation or scaling.

CODE for Parenting Puppet Pin to Null Object :

n=thisComp.layer("name of layer you want to parent to");

nullpos=n.toComp(n.anchorPoint);

fromComp(nullpos);

CODE for Point Constrain:

L =thisComp.layer("Layer you want to constrain");

value+L.toComp(L.anchorPoint);
