🔊 Excited to share this micro film I’ve been working on! A little story about how treasures find their way into our life and how the objects we surround ourselves with can become so meaningful—reminding us of times, places, and people that are dear to us.

@lachamade Super coooool

Trim Paths, but for real. Instead of just hiding part of the stroke, this cuts the actual path and calculates the exact new Bézier handles. Fun to watch the geometry itself draw on in After Effects.

@ordinaryfolkco @thememorypalace Excited to watch! Looks great!

We started "Distance" back in 2020. More than 900 hand-painted frames and a long list of talented collaborators later, it's finally done.

Written by Nate DiMeo and originally published in @thememorypalace , it tells the story of Samuel Finley Breese Morse: his years as a painter, his personal story, and the path that led him to help shape one of the most important inventions in modern communication.

It had its night on the big screen in September where it won "Best Canadian Short" at the Spark Animation 2026 festival @SparkCG. Now it's coming to the tiny ones in your pockets and your desks.

Online premiere October 21.

@_nicdean Heyyy that's pretty handy!

A few months ago I started writing a Photoshop alternative built on a node graph. Mac and Windows, native C++, 75 nodes. Every operation is non-destructive. Paint, masks, warps, the whole toolset. Nothing bakes.

ArcBrush 1.0 is live today!

MasterNodes transforms AE projects into super interactive node graphs, giving a complete visual overview of compositions, precomps, layers, footage, and more across the entire project. Fully synced with the AE timeline and built for complex motion design and compositing workflows

Combining 2D and 3D in After Effects.

In Foldspace, not every surface needs to be bent. Keep one flat for 2D artwork, and let the others exist in 3D space. This allows you to combine 2D and 3D objects in a single animation with no masks or tricks needed.

Powerful 3D curved surface animation directly in After Effects.

Trying some glitches in c4d

[Davey @daveylovescode]

I built a slingshot for After Effects.

You pull back, let go, and your layers yeet across the comp.

Made it a free download because honestly, why would anybody pay for this?

[Adam Maurer @acmmaurer]

@daveylovescode Haha this is actually pretty awesome!

[Adam Maurer @acmmaurer]

@yiannifive @cavalry__app Awesome technique!

[Yianni @yiannifive]

Stretch it

from the cavalry discord, using a SkSL Shader on the image makes for some interesting visuals.
