Stipple stands out in the aescripts library for driving stippling patterns directly from footage with a physics simulation, and it runs natively on Apple Silicon.
Stipple is a Rowbyte plugin that brings image stippling to After Effects. It creates temporally coherent stippling patterns driven by footage, generating the result through a physics simulation.
The plugin works with After Effects CC 2021, CC 2022, CC 2023, CC 2024 and above, on Windows 10 or later and macOS 10.13 or later, and it runs natively on Apple Silicon. Recent versions let you use external layers for color maps and randomize sprites, and include a GPU pipeline for processing.
Version 1.0.5 was released on April 30, 2026, with cache fixes, following earlier updates that added GPU pipeline performance improvements. The initial release arrived on June 9, 2024. A demo video is available on the developer's page for a closer look. Stipple is listed as free in this catalog.
Stipple is best for artists generating image stippling patterns from footage inside After Effects.
Stipple is completely free to download and use.
Stipple is compatible with After Effects CC 2021, CC 2022, CC 2023, CC 2024 and above, so CC 2024 is supported along with the surrounding releases. It runs on Windows 10 or later and macOS 10.13 or later. The "and above" note points to support beyond CC 2024 as well. If you are on a newer build and want to confirm before installing, the developer's page carries the current compatibility list.
Stipple runs on both Windows and Macintosh platforms. On Windows it requires Windows 10 or later, and on Mac it requires macOS 10.13 or later. The Mac build is Apple Silicon native, so it runs natively on M-series machines. Across both systems it works with After Effects CC 2021 through CC 2024 and above. For any platform-specific notes, the developer's page is the place to check.
Stipple is listed as free in this catalog, so you can add it without a purchase here. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current status and any usage conditions, check Rowbyte's page on the developer's site before you download. The catalog listing reflects how the plugin is offered here rather than a permanent guarantee, and the developer's page holds the authoritative details.
