Power Hyperboloid earns its place in the aescripts library as a freeware generator for a specific 3D form, kept current with a 2025 update for Apple Silicon and multi-frame rendering.
Power Hyperboloid is a freeware plugin for After Effects that draws a 3D hyperboloid, its shape driven by a set of power controls. Beyond the base geometry, it adds elliptic distortion and unfolding, giving further control over the form itself.
The plugin handles rich shading, self-shadowing and reflections, along with depth of field. It works with composition lights and the camera, using the lighting and camera already set up in your composition.
Version 1.0.2, released in January 2025, added Apple Silicon compatibility and multi-frame rendering. Earlier updates brought macOS Catalina compatibility, following the initial 2016 release. The plugin runs across a wide range of After Effects versions, from CS6 through 2026, and is listed here as free, with a demo video also available.
Power Hyperboloid is best for after Effects artists who want to draw and shade a 3D hyperboloid, with elliptic distortion, unfolding, reflections and depth of field, using composition lights and the camera.
Power Hyperboloid is completely free to download and use.
Power Hyperboloid supports a broad span of After Effects releases, from CS6 up through the 2026 version, and covers the CC line in between: CC through CC 2019, plus 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. That range means the plugin runs on both older CS6 installs and current releases. If you are unsure whether your exact release is covered, the developer's page lists the full compatibility set alongside the current download.
Power Hyperboloid became Apple Silicon compatible in version 1.0.2, released in January 2025, which also added multi-frame rendering. Before that, version 1.0.1 brought macOS Catalina compatibility on the Mac side. So on current Apple Silicon hardware, the 1.0.2 build is the one to use. For the exact system requirements and any Mac-specific notes, check the developer's page, which carries the latest version and its changelog.
