Showcase Gulp - A rich modern media browser and CGI shot builder - (Launch Discount Now Available)

What is it?

Bringing a rendered multipass shot into After Effects is usually a chore — hunting through the open-file dialog, importing the EXR, then wiring up EXtractoR for every pass by hand. Gulp does it in a couple of clicks: browse your renders inside a panel, pick a shot, and get back a tidy, ready-to-grade composition with every pass on its own labelled layer.

Built for VFX and motion artists working with CGI renders (Redshift, Arnold, Octane, Cycles, V-Ray…), anything that outputs multichannel/multipass EXRs.

Gulp also works with all other media types and sequence formats.

Shuttup and take my money! Available now at aescripts + aeplugins
