What It Does
Mettle Super Suite bundles three production plugins for After Effects and Premiere Pro. The suite targets both traditional and 360/VR workflows with tools for 3D mesh manipulation, procedural fractal generation, and augmented reality content creation.
Key Features
FreeForm Pro warps 2D layers into 3D mesh surfaces. The plugin supports OBJ import, custom subdivision controls, and integration with GEOlayers for generating terrain based on real-world elevation data. A deformer system handles clipping planes and volumetric rendering.
Mettle Flux generates volumetric fractal flames for space scenes and sci-fi backgrounds. The GPU-accelerated renderer includes preset libraries, symmetry controls, and one-click animation options. Supports both monoscopic and stereoscopic 360/VR output with native After Effects 3D camera integration.
Mantra V2 focuses on AR content creation and 360/VR effects. Includes particle systems with force fields, mutation controls, and lighting setups. Globe preview mode helps visualize 360 content during production.
All three plugins work in both After Effects and Premiere Pro (CC 2017 or newer). Requires 2GB+ VRAM for GPU rendering features.
Who It’s For
Designed for motion designers working on space visuals, sci-fi sequences, or immersive VR content. Also useful for creating 3D terrain visualizations when paired with geographic data plugins.
Pricing
Pay what you want pricing model. The regular bundle price is $499 (saves $158 compared to buying the three plugins separately at $657). Free trial versions available for each plugin. Perpetual license with upgrade options for future versions. Compatible with CC 2017 through 2026.
