PixelsWorld earns its place in the aescripts library for opening several coding routes, Processing-like code, GLSL, shadertoy.com code, and Lua, within a single After Effects plugin.
PixelsWorld is a creative coding plugin for After Effects that runs Processing-like code to build custom visuals. Alongside Processing-like code, it runs GLSL, executes code from shadertoy.com, and supports Lua code, giving several routes into shader and script-based work.
Beyond raw coding, PixelsWorld renders 3D geometry via SpreadSheet and includes a set of built-in effects: Flares, 3D Cloud, 3D Ocean, Toon Cloud, filtered checker, and Colorful tris. Code presets can be applied and shared easily, so setups move between projects and users. It works across After Effects 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and CC 2019 through CC 2017.
The plugin is compatible with the latest Windows 10. Version 3.7.1 was released on July 15, 2025, following updates that added new Lua lighting functions and a MadeBy3rdParty preset category. A demo video is available, and the developer recommends trying PixelsWorld before purchase.
PixelsWorld is best for after Effects artists who want to run Processing-like, GLSL, and Lua code for creative coding and generative visuals.
PixelsWorld is completely free to download and use.
PixelsWorld supports a wide span of After Effects releases, running on 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, as well as CC 2019, CC 2018, and CC 2017. That range covers both recent versions and several older CC builds, so most modern After Effects setups on a compatible system should be able to load the plugin. If you are on an even earlier release, check the developer's page to confirm support before installing.
PixelsWorld is compatible with the latest Windows 10, so it is built for Windows rather than macOS. If you work on a Mac, this plugin will not fit your setup as listed here. Windows users should make sure they are on the latest Windows 10 build for the intended compatibility. For any questions about other operating systems or newer Windows versions, the developer's page is the place to confirm current support details before you buy or install.
PixelsWorld is listed as free here in our catalog, so you can add it without a price attached on this page. That said, licensing can change over time, and the developer also recommends trying PixelsWorld before purchase, which points to options on their own store. For the most current licensing terms, pricing, and trial details, check the developer's page directly rather than relying on a fixed figure. Confirming there keeps you aligned with whatever the current arrangement is.
PixelsWorld runs Processing-like code as its core creative coding approach, and it also executes GLSL, giving you a shader-based path for visuals. On top of that, it can run code from shadertoy.com and supports Lua code, so you have multiple scripting options within one plugin. Recent updates also expanded the Lua mode with new lighting functions such as newLight, delLight, and getLightInfo. Between these languages you can drive both scripted logic and shader work in After Effects.
