Gridder 2 arranges selected layers into customizable grids, providing a quick way to replicate Cinema 4D’s Mograph Cloner functionality inside After Effects. Select layers, pick a grid mode, and adjust spacing and rotation. The plugin supports rectangular, 3D, circular, and spiral arrangements.

Key Features

Rectangular Grid arranges layers in flat grids with customizable rows, columns, and spacing. 3D Grid extends this into three dimensions, stacking layers along the Z-axis. Circular Grid places layers in rings, useful for radial designs or spiral patterns.

Expression Mode generates custom controls for any grid configuration. Link grid parameters to other layers or properties for dynamic animations. The interface uses native After Effects controls, keeping the workspace compact and familiar.

Who It’s For

Gridder 2 suits motion designers building title sequences, logo reveals, or pattern-based animations. The circular mode works for radial text treatments or geometric transitions. Expression mode adds flexibility for linking grid behavior to audio or other animated properties.
