Tutorial
The picture is as follows related this theme: 
1, build one COMP, name for " metallic word " , set as above plan
The picture is as follows related this theme: 
2, build one Solid, name for " face " , add " Basic Text " the effect, input one " Buddha " word, set as above plan
The picture is as follows related this theme: 
3, pitch on " face " layer, press Ctrl+D key, duplicate layer, name for " MASK " put " face " below the layer, give new duplicate layer is added " Channel/Minimax " the effect, set as above plan
The picture is as follows related this theme: 
4, choose " face " layer, add for its: The effect such as Ramp, Bevel Alpha, Curves, parameter sets as above plan
The picture is as follows related this theme: 
5, build one Solid, name for " edge " , put to most lower level, add Fractal Noise, Curves equivalent fruit for its, set as above plan
The picture is as follows related this theme: 
6, the layer " edge " layer mode is set for Alpha Matte " MASK " if pursue
The picture is as follows related this theme: 
7, pitch on is all layer, combine key by Ctrl+Shift+C, recombine the layer, the dot after acquiescent parameter " OK " , the new layer that is the generation after just recombining is added " Tint " the effect, parameter sets as above plan
The picture is as follows related this theme: 
8, graph of final result as above
The picture is as follows related this theme: 
9, make static frame file, put figure of law as above, the dot after the choice saves method and file name " Render " , finish make
The picture is as follows related this theme: 
10, with Photo Shop, open the static frame that just made, the layer is doubleclicked to turn in graph layer window the layer that it is a graph 0, take out black back, make its are transparent setting.
11, polygonal lariat tool chooses in tool column, will " Buddha " the brushstroke pitch on of the word, as above graph. Next duplicate, stickup
The picture is as follows related this theme: 
12, the method that uses 11 situations will " Buddha " every brushstroke of the word makes one monolayer (pay attention to must not little one part) , save a file finally graph of final result as above
The picture is as follows related this theme: 
13, one COMP is built in AE, name for " handwritten word " , statified guide the file that just made in PS, procrastinate to go up to time line next, form as above plan
The picture is as follows related this theme: 
14, graph layer the diaphaneity of 0 is set for 50% , conceal graph layer 2, graph layer 7, graph layer the position of 1 follows " Buddha " the brushstroke of the word is right on, other strokes is same also. As above graph
The picture is as follows related this theme: 
15, conceal the layer that divide a graph 1 all layers beyond, the layer that it is a graph 1 make one MASK. As above graph
The picture is as follows related this theme: 
16, to " graph layer 1 " frame of one appearance crucial point is set in 0 frame place, set Mask Feather pursue for 10 as above
The picture is as follows related this theme: 
17, mobile time line is in to 8F, establish two reference point for MASK with pen tool. As above graph
The picture is as follows related this theme: 
18, the two reference point that just built with choice tool shift. As above graph
The picture is as follows related this theme: 
19, mobile time line is in to 15F, change MASK as above plan with the 17 methods with 18 paces
The picture is as follows related this theme: 
20, make each animation with same method, pay attention to rhythm, adjust every occurrence time finally. As above graph
Because of the metallic result that the character does, so expression cuts a trace apparently. This method suits the style of general calibration compasses.
