Landscaper earns its place in the toolfarm library as an all-in-one After Effects template that keeps 3D landscape building inside slider controls. Draw a mask to create a lake, turn the Clock to set the time of day, or keyframe it for a time-lapse. Everything sits in After Effects, with no plugins needed.
Creation Effects: Landscaper is a template built entirely in After Effects for creating and animating 3D nature scenes. Its library of 1,000 landscape elements covers everything from winter wonderlands and tropical beaches to arid deserts and fantasy worlds, and you can place 3D titles in a scene and animate the camera to bring it to life.
The ground uses Camera Projection Mapping with 68 included ground images, and water is added by drawing a mask with the Pen tool, complete with reflections and ripples. The Auto-Sky Clock control sets the time of day and lighting, and keyframing it produces a time-lapse where ripples, wind, and clouds speed up automatically. A Control Layer on every comp adjusts the ground, water, sky, haze, sun, moon, and lighting.
The package includes 30 finished landscapes and 24 custom effects such as weather, haze, pollen, shooting stars, rainbows, and a 3D warp for making 2D elements look 3D. HD and 4K comps are provided for all landscapes, and the template is universalized to run in After Effects in other languages, with no plugins required.
Creation Effects: Landscaper is best for after Effects artists building custom 3D landscape animations, from winter scenes and tropical beaches to deserts and fantasy worlds.
Creation Effects: Landscaper is completely free to download and use.
Creation Effects: Landscaper is compatible with Adobe After Effects version 18.0 (CC 2021) and all later versions, so newer releases are covered too. It works on both PCs and Macs, and no additional plugins are required to use it. The template is also universalized, meaning it runs in After Effects installations set to other languages. If you're on a version older than CC 2021, you'll want to update first, since that release is the minimum listed for compatibility.
Creation Effects: Landscaper requires no additional plugins; it is built entirely in After Effects and relies on slider controls for customization. It runs on both PCs and Macs and is compatible with After Effects version 18.0 (CC 2021) and later. Because everything is native to After Effects, you can open a landscape comp and start editing with the Control Layer, water masks, and the Auto-Sky Clock without installing anything beyond the template itself.
Creation Effects: Landscaper has a very large file size, about 1.5 GB, so it's worth allowing plenty of time for the download to finish. The size reflects the included content: a library of 1,000 high-resolution landscape images, 30 finished landscapes, 24 custom effects, and 68 ground images, plus HD and 4K comps for every landscape. If you run into any download problems, the developer invites you to send a message for help.
Creation Effects: Landscaper includes both HD (1920×1080) and 4K (4096×2160) comps for all of its landscapes, so you can work at either resolution out of the box. You can also change the comps to any resolution by following the instructions in the tutorial. Alongside the video tutorials, detailed written instructions are placed throughout the template, which helps when adjusting resolution or customizing the ground, water, sky, and lighting through the Control Layer.
Creation Effects: Landscaper is listed as free here in the catalog, though licensing terms can change, so check the developer's page for the current details before downloading. The template is an all-in-one package covering the 1,000-element library, 30 finished landscapes, 24 custom effects, and both HD and 4K comps, all built for customization with slider controls in After Effects. Keep in mind the download is large, around 1.5 GB, so plan for the transfer time.
