This plugin is crashing everyone's after effects, what gives? It used to work fine.
Hi Martin, im Sorry for yor issues with pattoon. Its hard to tell that pattoon crashes everyone´s after effects. we would love to help you with your issues! Pleas open a support Ticket and send us a File and your specs so im shure we can help.
Are users still experiencing issues like "Crashing everyones after effects" or has this been solved? Would like to purchase for a current project but wary...
I'm not here to shamelesly "plugin" my work, but I thought you wanted to see your greatplugin in action.
I love that you can build your library with Pattoon and that it removes a lot of clutter when dealing with many layers. My questions is this:
Is there a way to parent the effect to a specific layer? Now here's what I mean: yes I can apply pattoon to any layer I want and I can hit "lock pattern" so the pattern moves with the layer if I animate it, but if the layer is parented to a null that drives the animation pattoon does not stay locked in. What I have to do is preocmp the layer with pattoon and then parent it for animation. But is there a way to do this without having to precomp?

Hi there Ollie,
For some reason I just saw this message haha. Anyway it's been a long time. Also yes you can use share my work on your instachannel. I do have one more question about the plugin. I tried opening an older project where I used Pattoon but I can even play it as I assume the texture are not "collected". I keep the textures in a separate folder from my project folders. Is there a way to gather/collect the textures I used with Pattoon so someone else can view the file with no issue?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - this comment goes out to ALL PLUGIN MAKERS - if you're going to make changes to your plugin that break the way they used to work, PLEASE create a "legacy" version of the plugin. This has become a huge problem with jobs being screwed up all because of a new version of a plugin completely breaking the way it used to work, requiring all kinds of re-working of comps, or re-installing older version of the plugin, etc.
Can Pattoon also lock rotation and scaling to the layer without having to script it each time. So far the only way I manage to accomplish this is to link the offset to my anchor point and then link Pattoons' rotation and scaling to the layers' rotation and scaling. Very cumbersome in my opinion. Another way is to pre-comp the layer but that defeats the objective of pattoon.

Any suggestions?
Hi Jerry, thanks for the Post. Lock to scale and rotation will be part of Version 2.0. This will be out early 2022. We are working also on a Lock Layer for Shapelayers. Hopfully that helps.
Is this even compatible with AE2022? I tried to play around with the trial version and for me selecting a texture doesnt work. If I try to select a pattern it does show the dropdown where I can select the folders but it doesn´t show any Thumbnails. I can select one if I click on the right spot in the empty space, but nothing gets applied. The checker pattern remains no matter what I choose.
If you have a quick answer for me would be great, because it seems like I could really need this plugin for an upcoming long-term project starting soon.
I was thinking in buying this plugin but has not been updated for a while, seems the developers don't answer to the comments any more and they are going to release a new version on "early" 2022. Any information about the new release and what happens if you have already bought the first version? Does this plugin work on AE2022 latest version
Hi Marcelo, you are right, we are working on the release of Version 2.0. B http:// ut we are always answering to support Tickets. We were in contact with Atsushi - via Mail and Videocall to solve his issue. We had no updates, because there were no problems
I can't open the pattern file.
Does anyone know?
The customer center doesn't answer about that
