At long last Mettle, makers of FreeFrom Pro for After Effects, officially ships ShapeShifter AE (windows) today with introductory pricing for the next 5 days. ShapeShifter (of which we have seen numerous previews of) is a new 3D plugin for adobe after effects that is hardware accelerated, and has lattice deformation control of 3D objects right in the after effects viewport… This is really the great part, “Right in the After Effects Viewport… not a custom interface or transferred to a launched application.
For a great look at Shapeshifter for After Effects, Phil Bearman has an extensive write-up with lots of example videos on his site. Be sure to check out his post Shapeshifter AE – A fast new 3D plugin for After Effects.
