3D Shape Morphs

FreeForm Pro uses Mettle’s proprietary 3D engine for lightning fast, high quality renders. This architecture allows us to introduce features that were never possible before. Create amazing 3D shape morphs via familiar 2D filters in After Effects. FreeForm Pro generates all geometry on the fly, right in the AE comp window. Download the project files to see just how easy it is to create stunning shape morphs with FreeForm Pro. Take your motion graphics to the next level.

Advanced Image Morphing

One of the most powerful aspects of After Effects is how robust their `SDK is and what that allows third party developers to create for After Effects.

To quote Steve Forde (Senior Product Manager at Adobe,”This has fostered an incredible ecosystem surrounding After Effects”. The creative combination of tools has always intrigued me and I am always fascinated to see how customers use our products in combination with other offerings. In this case niside.fr uses Revision FX “re:Flex” + FreeForm to create one of the most impressive and seamless morphing sequences I have ever seen. Re:Flex was used for the body alignments and face morphing while Mettle’s Freeform handled all the clothes folding (shirts tearing apart, jacket wrapping and so on…).

Morgan Préleur of noside.fr says ”Freeform really proved to be an incredible tool and allowed us to achieve complex 3D deformations under tight deadlines. FreeForm Pro’s ability to handle a lot of surface points while remaining totally interactive allows for a more creative and iterative process, we can experiment and come up with improved solutions which is crucial when speed is the key factor. It is a must have in our tool set for upcoming commercial works.”

Character Animation

You no longer need to use convoluted techniques and work arounds to achieve what is made easy with FreeForm Pro’s true 3D features including the industry’s fastest and most advanced 3D displacement mapping algorithms.

Dan Gies put together an 18 part series that has been proven to be the standard for character animation in After Effects. FreeForm Pro is showcased in Parts 8, 9 + 10



Daniel Gies of everyonediesfilms.com says ”My imagination has been stirred and my mind has been blown. Free Form Pro has finally brought the third dimension to After Effects in a way like never before. It has completely changed the way I approach character animation and environments in After Effects. It has opened a whole new world of possibilities right within my favorite application. No longer do I have to use complex networks of effects, 3D renders from other packages and intricate composites to achieve a seamless sense of depth and character emotion. This changes everything for me and I have only just scratched the surface.”

2D and 3D Stereo Conversion

FreeForm Pro is an excellent complement to Mocha Pro for 2D to Stereo 3D conversions. Speed ease of use and the advanced 3D displacement mapping in FreeForm Pro help to bring incredible depth and control to your stereo 3D projects.



Organic Effects


From practical through to artistic applications FreeForm Pro is a creative powerhouse. All that speed and technology results in freedom. Freedom to create, to experiment to attain a new level of creativity and spontaneity. Combine and use filters and plug-ins that ship with After Effects or others like you never dreamed possible. Download some of the free project to see just how easy it is. Open up new creative possibilities with FreeForm Pro.


Water Replacement

Render animated 3D water from a still! FreeForm Pro uses Mettle’s proprietary 3D engine and employs advanced 3D displacement mapping algorithms — similar to those used in movies such as Avatar, The Matrix, Inception etc. FreeForm Pro’s rendering allows for a high level of realism. Features include Depth renders and Reflection mapping. FreeForm Pro can claim the tightest integration into AE’s 3D controls. Work with a familiar U.I. quickly and efficiently.
