What It Does
The Fractal 3D Bundle packages two GPU-accelerated plugins from CROSSPHERE .Koizumi into a single purchase at a 27% discount. The two tools cover complementary territory: volumetric atmospheric effects and procedural 3D terrain, both designed to work natively inside After Effects with comp cameras and lights.
Key Features
Fractal Noise 3D v2 generates true 3D volumetric fractal noise, making it the go-to for realistic clouds, fog, smoke, and atmospheric haze. Unlike flat 2D noise effects, the volumetric approach means you can move a camera through the effect and get believable depth. It supports After Effects lights, cameras, and depth maps. Version 2 adds support for modern GPUs, expanded geometry options, and a Domain Warp feature that warps the noise field itself, useful for turbulent or organic-looking motion.
Fractal Terrain procedurally generates 3D landscapes using fractal noise and ray-casting. You get customizable terrain geometry that responds to composition cameras and lights, plus 3D layer projection for texturing. It renders in real time on the GPU, so iteration is fast. Useful for title sequences set over aerial landscapes, sci-fi environments, or stylized world-building shots.
Who It’s For
Motion designers and VFX artists who need environment generation inside After Effects without roundtripping to a 3D application. The bundle makes particular sense if you work on broadcast or film projects that regularly call for atmospheric effects or abstract worlds, since both plugins cover ground that After Effects’ built-in tools handle poorly.
Pricing
The bundle is a one-time purchase. Individually, Fractal Noise 3D v2 is $79.99 and Fractal Terrain is $98.00, totaling $177.99. The bundle price is $129.99, saving 27%. Only Single User Licenses are included. Floating licenses and render-only licenses must be purchased separately for each product. Free trials are available for both plugins before buying.
