FractalMapper is an After Effects plugin that maps your layers onto fractals, wrapping footage, text or graphics around endlessly detailed mathematical patterns. It projects your own layer across the fractal surface, so the artwork bends and flows with the pattern as it moves. Its morph feature can blend between fractal states, which makes it a natural fit for hypnotic transitions, music visuals and abstract title backgrounds. The plugin is GPU accelerated, so exploring different patterns stays responsive while you work. You can zoom into the detail, shift the colours and animate the evolution to build many looks.

FAQs

Can FractalMapper use my own footage?

Yes, the idea of the plugin is to map your own layers, including footage and text, onto the fractal so the pattern carries your artwork.

What is the morph feature for?

Morph blends between fractal states over time, which creates smooth, flowing transitions that are useful between scenes or inside a title sequence.
