Bang for After Effects 1.1.0 for Mac
Mac VideoBang for After Effects 1.1.0 for Mac is a modular, fully procedural 3D muzzle flash plug-in for Adobe After Effects, originally sold through the aescripts marketplace and now continued by Maxon as part of its VFX line. Instead of pasting flat stock footage over a shot, Bang generates each flash in 3D, so it can be viewed from any angle and responds to your composition camera.
It is built for VFX artists and action filmmakers who need gunfire that matches their scene: shape controls and ready-made presets cover common firearms, while colour, brightness, glow, sparks and burst behaviour can all be tuned. Bang is paid software and requires Adobe After Effects — it is not a standalone app. The official Maxon page is the safe source for the current version, pricing and trial information.
Key Features
- Procedural 3D muzzle flashes rendered from any angle, aware of After Effects cameras
- Up to four flash types and sixteen flash instances per layer for big gun battles
- Fully customisable presets for well-known pistols, rifles, a minigun and stylised looks
- Bang Relighter module simulates the flash lighting up actors and surroundings
- Control petal shape, roll, scale, age randomisation, glow and sparks per flash
How to Download
- Download from the official site
- On the Maxon page, check the current VFX Bang pricing or trial, then download the official Mac installer for your licence.
- Install the plug-in, restart After Effects and apply Bang to a layer in your action scene.
Is Bang free?
No. Bang is a paid After Effects plug-in. Older listings priced a single-user licence at around $75; check the official Maxon page for current pricing and any trial, and avoid cracked copies.
Does Bang work without After Effects?
No. Bang only works as a plug-in inside Adobe After Effects. You need a supported After Effects installation on your Mac before you can use it.
