Works with all visible layers

The convenient workflow makes it easy to set everything up.

Most shape layers are simulated automatically with no extra work. If you have complex shape layers you can easily create a Collision Cage for them.

Shape layers can be solid or hollow. Simply disable or delete the fill and the shape layer is considered hollow. Hollow layers can contain other layers.

To define a Collision Cage to layers like compositions, images, or other imported files you can simply add a layer mask. This can even be done automatically using After Effects Auto-Trace.

Animate physics properties

– And do it on After Effects familiar timeline.

Animate physics properties like Bounce, Friction or Density to gain control over the simulation. Or physics world properties like Gravity or Time Scale to make layers float or simulate in slow motion. All properties are animated on your familiar After Effects timeline.

Layers with animated position or rotation using either keyframes or expressions will follow this animation until their animation stops. After the last keyframe the physics properties will take over and inherit the layers end velocity.

Both static and dynamic layers can be animated.

Randomize

The fastest way to natural variation.

It is easy add randomization to the physics properties by adjusting a few settings.

Randomize bounce, friction, forces and more will give your simulation a more natural look or you can use randomize to make your simulations more interesting to look at.
