Lorenz System earns its place in the aescripts library for a focused job: turning strange attractors into After Effects paths. It sits at popularity rank 86 on the source, and version 2.0 broadened its set of attractors.
Lorenz System is an After Effects script from Zaebects that converts strange attractors into paths. It draws on a range of named attractor types to generate those paths inside After Effects.
Version 2.0 added a user interface to the script, along with two versions: one for a static path and one for an expression path. The same update introduced additional attractors, including Lorenz, Rossler, Aizawa, Thomas, Halvorsen, Chen-Lee, Arneodo, Sprott B, Sprott F, Dadras, Rucklidge, Newton-Leipnik, and Genesio-Tesi.
The script is compatible with a broad range of After Effects releases: 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and CC 2019, 2018, and 2017. Version 1.0 first released in 2020, with version 2.0 following in 2026. The catalog lists Lorenz System as free.
Lorenz System is best for after Effects users who want to generate paths from strange attractors.
Lorenz System is completely free to download and use.
Lorenz System supports a wide range of After Effects releases, including 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, as well as CC 2019, CC 2018, and CC 2017. That span covers both current and older installs, so the script can be used on setups that have not moved to the latest version. For the most current compatibility details, check the developer's page before installing.
Lorenz System 2.0, released on July 3, 2026, added a user interface to the script and introduced two versions: one for a static path and one for an expression path. It also expanded the available attractors with Lorenz, Rossler, Aizawa, Thomas, Halvorsen, Chen-Lee, Arneodo, Sprott B, Sprott F, Dadras, Rucklidge, Newton-Leipnik, and Genesio-Tesi. The original release, version 1.0, came out in May 2020.
