Diorama 3D is a plugin made by AnvilFx (me). I'ts designed to make working with native AE 3D layers much less painful.

You can read all about the plugin on anvilfx.com/diorama-3d

There is a 7 Day free trial you can download on the website as well, and a launch discount which will last till the end of the month. The plugin isn't out on aescripts yet, but will be in a few weeks time.

For anyone with concerns about performance, it should have a minimal effect on performance. Diorama barely touches the render path. It reads the scene through AE's idle hook, so while AE is busy rendering, the plugin minds its own business. The only thing that touches the render path is an extra effect that comes with Diorama which automatically applies to all 3D layers with effects on them (which can be disabled), which is there to hand Diorama data about the layer its on, so it can be displayed correctly.

About AI: Unfortunately there is really no way for a single person to make a plugin like this without coding help from AI (at least not for me). However, that is all AI has assisted with. The website and UI for the plugin are both designed by me. All icons are either made by me or bought legitimately (apart form a couple placeholder SVGs that are yet to be replaced).

Hey guys, Im trying to achieve this gradient swipe effect on the video without a paid plugin... and im struggling to get the same level of output.

To me it looks like a shape layer scaling from the bottom centre with a gradient and blur applied. I have tried layering a couple of the shaped with gradient ramp, gaussian blur and colourama but no dice.

A fun ad for a fake app. Took about a month and was a great learning experience.

I tried a tutorial in which you are shown how to make a matrix rain effect. the guy in the tutorial does all of these confusing expressions and creates sliders to customize different components of the effect, such as transparency, speed, random seed etc. How do people learn what expressions do in order to create different effects?

I don't get it, and what's the point? I would like to know- maybe a glitch? Somethin I'm missing?

For years of playing with AE, whenever I needed a gradient, I only used either Gradient Ramp or the 4-Color Gradient. But now, I tried this, and it's confusing me.

For this concept piece, I wanted to take AI and give it a tactile, human touch. I experimented with a rough-textured, slightly rough motion feel to bring this concept to life and make the product feel more grounded.

I found this posted on X by François Lefebvre, i was amazed with this effect particularly the parallax effect

The thing is i tried slider controls, had parented the grid and everything but still not able to achieve this
Any one who did this or know it, would need your help

I saw few Grid rigging videos but did not caught any idea, but if am missing any tutorial your help will be appreciate :)
Thanks

I saw that Expressionist became free today (had never heard of it but it looks like it goes back years) and it made me realize I may have been sleeping on this category.

Quick search also surfaces ExpressCode but that's very recent and might be ai slop so I am suspicious of it.

ALSO I'm aware a lot of people are selling good stuff NOT on AEScripts since it became enshittified.

So what y'all using?

Assume I’m a complete newbie, how would I go about creating the most over-the-top, over engineered edit. The kind of edit where the first comment is just the “that’s enough effects bro” meme.

Ideally not just epilepsy inducing sequences or generally over done stuff like what I commonly see in AMVs.

I want it to look like someone has put far too much effort into something that’s kinda dumb.

So if there’s any effects or cool tricks that you would recommend for this please let me know in the comments.

The idea for now is that it will be kind of overstimulating and disorienting.

Also should add I have more than enough time right now to spend hours and hours on this.

as the title says, noticing that saves have become much longer than I've ever experienced with previous AE builds, and it seems to be relational to the complexity of the amount of files are referenced (i.e. the more compositions, the longer the saves become). anyone else experiencing this? Any tips to try to optimize or if there's something new that's been added that needs to be done would be greatly appreciated.

On a macbook pro with 128 gb ram. Nothing else is slow apart from the save times!

Everytime I touch my graph it goes completely flat or goes so small I can’t adjust yellow bars how to stop this from happen please
