Made with Reka Grid from @aescripts It’s great to see the comp stay responsive with so many shapes. pic.twitter.com/hNte6tXwlg

Almost feels like an old school TRAPCODE product but turbocharged.

Kinda feels like having Element 3D in AE where it's a portal into another (faster) app.

AE is becomes a window into whole other programs...
Reka Grid is an After Effects plugin
Reka Grid is a powerful tool with a lot of features to customize and animate grids. Each point of the grid is represented by an instance of a parametric shape.
Parametric Shape
Shape can be Triangle, Rectangle, Circle, Star, "Y" or "X"
Any parameter of this shape can be adjusted and animated with noise or custom layers.
Grid Array
Grid can be regular or hexagonal. Or with the power of scripts, it can be anything like a spiral or sine and even Phyllotaxis.
Also, any parameter of the grid can be animated with noise or custom layers.
Instances
Each point of the grid is represented by copy of the shape and called an instance. Instances have a lot of parameters to animate: Radius, Angle, Position Offset, Color, Alpha.
Instances can rotated by 90 degrees with a simple script
Edge middle point and Rotation angle animated with layer
Instances rotated with Noise.
Colors set from list with a simple script.
Scripts
Scripts allow you to edit any parameter in the grid. With this feature, any adjustment is possible for a group or individual elements. It means you can, for example, hide any element of the grid or set the angle of rotation individually.
Script samples and documentation is available here
Here's an example of how responsive it is. 774 shapes, comp 1920x1080 at half res. pic.twitter.com/5P4oKAsI3s
