Why we like it

Earns its place in the aescripts library as a GPU-based effect that generates true 3D fractal noise responsive to cameras and lights.

What is Fractal Volume?

Fractal Volume is an After Effects effect that generates true 3D fractal noise in space. Built on GPU accelerated performance, it renders noise that stays fully responsive to the cameras and lights in your composition.

The effect offers 5 fractal types and 4 noise types to choose from, plus color controls including brightness and contrast. You can crop the volume along the X, Y, and Z axes, adjust the Map Depth, and set noise density and render quality to match the needs of each shot.

Fractal Volume is compatible with After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023. Version 1.0 is the initial release, published on April 4, 2026, and a demo video is available to preview the effect in action before you install it.

Who is Fractal Volume best for?

Fractal Volume is best for after Effects artists working with 3D fractal noise that reacts to scene cameras and lights.

How much does Fractal Volume cost?

Fractal Volume is completely free to download and use.

Does Fractal Volume require a GPU?

Fractal Volume is a GPU-based effect with GPU accelerated performance, so it relies on the graphics hardware in your system to generate its true 3D fractal noise. That noise stays fully responsive to the cameras and lights in your composition. You can also adjust noise density and render quality within the effect. For specific hardware requirements or recommended configurations, consult the developer's page, as exact GPU specifications are not listed here.

How does Fractal Volume respond to cameras and lights?

Fractal Volume generates true 3D fractal noise in space, and that noise is fully responsive to the cameras and lights in your After Effects composition. Alongside this behaviour, the effect offers 5 fractal types, 4 noise types, crop control along the X, Y, and Z axes, an adjustable Map Depth, and color controls for brightness and contrast. A demo video is available to preview the effect in action.

Is Fractal Volume free?

Fractal Volume is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing terms and any usage details, refer to the developer's page, which reflects the most up-to-date information.
