Aescripts quadrateFX v1.50 (Win, Mac)

Aescripts quadrateFX v1.50 (Win, Mac) is a specialized After Effects plugin designed to generate random patterns of tiled vector rectangles, often referred to as treemapping. Treemapping is a data visualization technique that displays hierarchical data structures through rectangular tiles, and quadrateFX makes it easy to implement this technique within After Effects, allowing you to create complex designs, animated visuals, and dynamic textures with minimal effort.

Key Features of Aescripts quadrateFX v1.50:

Randomized Tiled Rectangles: QuadrateFX generates random tiled rectangles in After Effects with just the click of a button. The plugin uses a simple slider control to adjust the number of boxes created, making it easy to design dynamic patterns and textures.

Control Dimensions & Ratios: With quadrateFX, you can easily modify the randomness of the box dimensions. Adjust the horizontal and vertical box creation ratios to ensure the desired visual effect for your patterns.

Color Customization: The plugin includes a handy color adjustment slider that allows you to fine-tune the color choice for each generated box. Customize the appearance of each tile in your design and create visually compelling patterns.

Text Layer Support: QuadrateFX allows you to create a text layer for each box, offering a selection of 12 different text styles. You can use this feature to add informative or stylized text to each tile in your pattern, making it perfect for data visualization projects.

3D Layer Compatibility: While working with large patterns, particularly with extruded 3D layers, you may experience slower performance. However, quadrateFX can generate complex designs such as displacement maps that can be used in 3D programs like 3D Studio Max and Vray.

Customizable Effect Controls: QuadrateFX offers complete control over the boxes generated, including the ability to adjust and tweak various properties. From position adjustments to HEX code color customizations, everything is customizable to suit your needs.

Optimized Interface: Version 1.50 introduces a more compact and optimized user interface, providing a better user experience. The redesigned progress bar is now more accurate and informative, offering a clear view of the rendering process both in window and dockable panel mode.

New in Version 1.50:

• Support for After Effects 2020: quadrateFX is now fully compatible with After Effects 2020, making it easier to integrate with the latest version of the software.
• MacOS Catalina Support: Users on MacOS Catalina can now enjoy full compatibility with quadrateFX, ensuring a smooth experience on the latest macOS systems.
• UI Optimization: A more compact user interface for easier navigation and more efficient workflow.
• Redesigned Progress Bar: The progress bar has been updated to offer better accuracy, providing more detailed information about the rendering process.

Use Cases for Aescripts quadrateFX:

• Dynamic Textures: Create intricate, random patterns that can be used as displacement maps in 3D applications, such as 3D Studio Max and Vray.
• Data Visualization: Mimic treemapping techniques in your After Effects animations to represent hierarchical data structures visually.
• Creative Backgrounds: Generate complex vector tile patterns for backgrounds, overlays, and abstract designs in your motion graphics projects.
• Animation & Motion Graphics: Use quadrateFX to generate animated effects that evolve over time, perfect for tech-inspired, futuristic, or abstract motion design.

Aescripts quadrateFX v1.50 offers an easy way to generate random, tiled vector patterns in After Effects, perfect for a variety of animation and design projects. Whether you’re creating dynamic backgrounds, text effects, or complex textures for 3D rendering, quadrateFX is an essential tool for motion designers looking to enhance their creative workflows.
