Aescripts Plexus v3.2.10 - Advanced 3D Particle Plugin for After Effects

Last updated: February 26, 2026

Rowbyte Plexus 3 - Professional 3D particle plugin for After Effects

Plugin Overview

Plexus by Rowbyte is a next-generation particle engine for After Effects that brings generative art to a non-linear workflow. Available on aescripts, Plexus creates unique point-line-surface relationships between particles, making it ideal for abstract motion graphics, data visualization, and sci-fi interfaces.

Key Features​

  • Procedural Workflow: Create and manipulate data with modular, infinite configurations
  • Point-Line-Surface Rendering: Unique particle relationship system
  • Object-Based UI: Tree-style management for intuitive workflow (Plexus 3)
  • Depth Map Culling: Import depth maps for layered particle effects
  • Motion Blur: Composition-based or camera-based blur options
  • Sound Effector: Audio-reactive particle animations
  • Slicer Object: Cut 3D OBJ models with animated slices
  • Seamless Beams: Fluid line animations between particles
  • Loop Noise: Create seamless looping animations
  • Multi-Frame Rendering: Support for AE 2022+ MFR
