I’m sure I’m not alone with this wishlist - it sure would be great to have some of our favorite plugins brought to AfterEffects. The market is wide open for something like a Blaster or Rodeo, there isn’t anything like that in AE right now. BlobMaker2, Dante, there’s a whole slew of plugins that would still apply in AE and many of them would have no competition.
And shaders? The concept barely even exists in AE! Imagine having the power of mForge or NX or Woodmaker available in AfterEffects! Okay, mForge would loose some of its oomph, since it does best with curved surfaces - but still, AE doesn’t really have anything that duplicates what a lot of our EI shaders do.
Not to mention the installed base of AE is just a little bigger than our beloved EIAS.
Opinions?
