Cell Division 2 earns its place in the aescripts library for expanding from a single droplet style to 21, paired with a reworked interface and additional droplet controllers.
Cell Division 2 is an After Effects plugin from Pixcode that converts inner and outer layers with any type of shape into transparent droplets. It ships with 21 different styles for producing those droplets.
The release moves from a single droplet style to 21 designs and adds default droplet backgrounds that better reveal each one. The interface has a dynamic, user-friendly design, and expanded droplet controllers open up more customization and settings.
Cell Division 2 is compatible with After Effects 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021. Version 1.1.0, released on February 26, 2025, added compatibility with Japanese, French, and other languages, following the initial 1.0.0 release earlier that month. A demo video is available, and the plugin is listed as free here.
Cell Division 2 is best for after Effects artists who want to turn shape layers into transparent droplets and choose among 21 preset styles.
Cell Division 2 is completely free to download and use.
Cell Division 2 lists compatibility with After Effects 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, covering several recent releases of the application. If you run one of these versions, the plugin is documented to work with it. For anyone on an older or newer build not named in that range, it's worth confirming on the developer's page on aescripts before relying on it, since compatibility outside the listed versions isn't stated here.
Cell Division 2 is listed as free here, so you can add it to your setup without a purchase. Licensing terms can change over time, and any conditions attached to free use aren't spelled out in full, so the safest step is to check the developer's page on aescripts for the current terms. That page will also show the download and any account requirement tied to getting the plugin, along with any restrictions the developer places on how it's used.
Cell Division 2 version 1.1.0, released on February 26, 2025, added compatibility with Japanese, French, and other languages. It followed the 1.0.0 initial release from earlier that month, on February 11, 2025. This generation of the plugin also carries the jump to 21 droplet styles, the dynamic interface, default droplet backgrounds, and expanded droplet controllers. For the complete history and any revisions, the developer's page on aescripts is the place to look for anything released after this version.
Cell Division 2 has a demo video available on YouTube, so you can view it before installing the plugin. Pairing that with the written details on the 21 styles, dynamic interface, and droplet controllers gives you a rounded sense of the tool. For the current information, download, and any documentation, the developer's page on aescripts is the main resource. Watching the demo and reading that page together is the most reliable way to size up the plugin before adding it to an After Effects project.
