Design from new perspectives: add immediate volume to your 2D art without 3D layers or camera setup.
Volume n' Tricks is a unique and handy toolkit to turn layers in isometric volume:
Volume n' Tricks emerges as a groundbreaking script for Adobe After Effects, revolutionizing how designers approach isometric projections and volume creation.
This tool transcends the typical constraints of 2D design, offering a versatile kit for producing diverse isometric artworks, complete with eight distinct skew options for a tilted or biased perspective.
A key highlight of Volume n' Tricks is its Volume FX feature. This innovative function enables designers to achieve impressive extrusion effects: a leap forward in design capabilities, enabling ideas to be realized in ways previously unimagined.
Volume n' Tricks goes beyond mere isometric projection. It empowers users with extensive control over their designs, allowing for intricate manipulations like rotation, pivoting, and axis shifting. The script introduces the unique WORLD CONTROLLER, a feature that expands creative possibilities and operational ease.
Importantly, Volume n' Tricks is designed for collaborative flexibility. The script generates results using native After Effects assets, meaning colleagues and peers can engage with the files seamlessly, even without the script. This inclusive approach ensures that designs created with Volume n' Tricks are easily accessible and modifiable across different users, fostering a collaborative environment.
As a practical note for users, the tool advises adding a stroke of any chosen color to single-color shapes. This ensures the sides remain visible and distinct, maintaining the visual integrity of the design.
Overall, Volume n' Tricks stands out as not just a tool but a catalyst for creativity and innovation in the realm of digital design, offering an array of features that transform flat designs into dynamic, three-dimensional masterpieces.
