The Newton Plugin makes it possible to change 2D layers into 3D objects in After Effects with near-photographic realism. As users interact with the object, they can adjust properties like density, bounce, and friction while parallel adjusting overall forces, including gravity. The plugin has joint structures, superior water buoyancy, automatized interaction, and teleportation, which makes rig creation seemingly lifelike.

Motion Boutique – Newton features

• Simulations of Physics: 2D layers are transformed into 3D objects with realistic density, friction, and bouncing properties.
• Rigging: Create more complex and precise simulations with seven object types and seven joint types.
• Advanced Scene Simulation: Water buoyancy, magnetism, triggered animations, and teleportation are included for more complex scenes.
• Layer Handles: Works with masks, text, shape layers, and standard layers.
