Motion Boutique, the developer of Newton Plugin has finally released Connect Layers PRO, a physics engine for Adobe After Effects. Together with the team from Yellow Lab TV, we developed the design of styleframes for animation.
Initial Ideas of Style & Concepts
Styleframes
Connect Layers PRO ables you to connect your layers in After Effects with dynamic lines and create lines that are dynamically linked to the layers using powerful path expressions without animating with keyframes at all.
When you trim your connection, the arrowheads follow the ends of the line.
Stroke and fill colors support both solid and gradient colors
and the Arrowheads are customizable.
Animations
The final output in the animation shows a wide variety of styles of curviness: steps, arc, bezier, Penner easing curves, and dynamics.
When you trim your connection, the arrowheads follow the ends of the line and the Dynamics has 3 curviness features to add a natural feeling to the motion of your lines.
