Aescripts Glasswork 2.1.0 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesGlasswork is a plugin for After Effects and other hosts that lets you view your footage as if it were seen through real glass. Ribbed, fluted and patterned surfaces bend and refract the image, turning plain shots into textured backgrounds for titles, product films and music videos. It renders on the GPU, so you can adjust the pattern and strength and see the result update while you work rather than waiting for previews.

- Lets you feed in your own texture to shape a custom glass pattern
- Renders on the GPU for smooth previews while you design the look
- Gives detailed control over the pattern, refraction and overall glass character
- Installs and licenses through the aescripts and aeplugins manager app

FAQs
Which programs can use Glasswork?
The documentation covers After Effects and Premiere Pro, with builds listed for DaVinci Resolve and Nuke by the developer.
What happens in the trial version?
Without a license the plugin runs as a trial and draws a red X over the image, which disappears once you register your key.
Can I design my own glass pattern?
Yes. Alongside the built in patterns you can supply your own texture and use it as the surface the image is refracted through.
