Simulation for After Effects

Motion Boutique Newton is a 2D physics engine for After Effects that turns 2D layers into simulations of real-world objects. Adjust density, friction, bounce, and gravity, then refine results with editable keyframes.

Fluid is a GPU-accelerated 2D fluid simulation plugin for After Effects. Built on Navier-Stokes physics, it turns any layer into a fluid emitter with collider interaction, dual-stream color blending, and cinematic post-processing, running directly in the timeline.

Newton 4 is a native 2D physics plugin for After Effects from Motion Boutique. It turns a composition into an interactive physics playground, transforming 2D layers into physical objects with realistic motion.

Soft Body 2 is an After Effects plugin that creates soft objects with collisions. It offers two engines, Quick and Advance, works with shape layers, text and pre-comps, and can bend images and layers.

Fluxion is a GPU-based particle plugin for After Effects that generates a vector field from a mask and makes particles flow along that field. It supports custom layer particles and 3D.

PhysicDesk is a real-time 2D physics simulator for After Effects that runs inside the viewport. Build scenes with dynamic, static, and animated bodies, then bake the resulting motion into native After Effects keyframes.

Aquon is a GPU-accelerated After Effects plugin that simulates water-like 2D fluid motion. It offers inlet and gravity controls, masks usable as walls, and fluid rendering options for varied looks.

Physarum is a native After Effects plugin from Zaebects that simulates organic growth. Built for motion designers, it uses an organic algorithm and can interact with composition layers to produce a countless number of results.

Plumebus is an After Effects plugin that runs live 3D smoke and fire simulation directly in the timeline. It offers instant feedback with no pre-render, letting you scrub freely and tweak settings live.

Rubberize It is an After Effects plugin from Orrin Zucker that turns any layer into Plastic, Rubber or Goop in seconds. It reacts naturally to motion without keyframes, driven by physics.

Pixion is a layer-driven particle system for After Effects that generates particles from any source layer and controls their behavior using pixel data such as luminance and color. GPU-accelerated.
