Good news everyone! The really cool free fractal flame plugin for After Effects originally created by Andrew Davidson has been resurrected by Satya Meka (creator of Plexus) for After Effects CS5 and its still free! Check out and download the AE Flame plugin here.

“Fractal Flames are always beautiful and AEFlame is a great plugin created by Andrew Davidson, which helps AE users explore the depth of Mathematical space right in After Effects. Interestingly, this plugin existed since AE 4.0, but the author didn’t port it to the recent versions of After Effects. Luckily, he was generous enough to release the source of the plugin so this is the CS4/CS5 port.
Remember, this is just a direct port and it has not been extensively tested. This should be considered a beta quality release. However we have not experienced any issues with it so far. You can report issues, but don’t expect any support.”
