quadrateFX is a tool for Adobe After Effects, specifically designed to generate random patterns
of tiled vector rectangles, simulating the data visualization method also known as treemapping.



  
NEW in v1.10

- added: support for After Effects 2020 + 2021 + 2022 + 2023
- added: support for MacOS Catalina
- optimized: more compact UI
- optimized: redesigned progress bar that is more accurate, more informative,
and works both in window and in dockable panel mode






 Setting the total number of the generated boxes is as easy as moving a slider.

You can adjust the size randomness % of the generated boxes

 You can also adjust the horizontal versus vertical boxes generation ratio.

There is a handy effect slider to adjust the color selection percentage for each box,
between colors A and B dynamically.

quadrateFX can also generate a text layer for each box. You can select between 12 dynamic text types ranging from
the layer's position X and Y values to random HEX codes. Below are a few examples.

Working with large number of boxes can make After Effects behave quite slow and sluggish.
Especially, when working with extruded 3D layers you must be prepared to wait a while for After Effects to interact,
render or preview the composition.

The image below was created by using quadrateFX and generating over 1.000 rectangles.

You can use quadrateFX to generate large complicated textures to be used as a displacement map on 3D modelling software.
The image on the right was rendered in 3D Studio MAX and Vray.

quadrateFX has also the ability to generate an additional solid layer, with all the primary boxes as masks. Its intended use is to function as a source layer for third-party plug-ins such as Videocopilot's Element3D.

Custom effect controls let you control, adjust and animate any aspect of the generated boxes.

    circuitFX

    circuitFX is a tool for After Effects designed to create graphical circuit boards. The circuit pattern is generated randomly with every button press. Apart from the circuit lines and circles, circuitFX also creates, chips, resistors, and capacitors. It has the ability to put all of the needed parts in a single shape layer or create separate shape layers for each part of the board. Its ideal for technology or sci-fi related projects, animated backgrounds, HUDs, etc.

    mazeFX

    Maze algorithm is now much faster with cleaner path results. Create random vector mazes (labyrinths) in After Effects. mazeFX can also generate a unique solution with effect controls to fully control the appearance of the maze. Finally, it can use masks to control each maze's shape and place all of the needed parts in a single shape layer or create separate shape layers for each part of the maze.
