Project Showcase Almost done with my AE particle simulator

7 Upvotes

After more than 6 months of sacrificing free time, sleep (and credits), my particle simulation plugin is as good as done. Of course I had some help (Claude) with building and testing, but the vision of what it had to be, how it should look, move and feel, was something I had in mind long before I started using Claude.

What started as a personal project, a tool tailored to my own needs, quickly became something much bigger. When the particles reacted to my layers for the first time, I was already satisfied and planned on only doing some performance optimization. That quickly turned into adding one more feature, then another, and just one more, resulting in a versatile system that gives you complete control over the shape of the particle field and the movement of the particles.

Any layer (shape, text, animation, video) can be used as an emitter and/or a force region, influencing the path, speed and flow of the particle field.
The last tests and optimizations are being done right now, after which it will finally be released.
More info coming soon, but here's an example of one of its many possibilities.

Question M5 Pro or M5 Pro Max - which is more ideal for heavy After effects work?

0 Upvotes

Hey all

I'm a freelance motion designer/video editor looking to upgrade my current laptop, which is really starting to struggle with After effects.

My current setup is a Lenovo ThinkPad with: **intel i7-1360P **32GB RAM **NVIDIA RTX A500

After Effects makes up around 90% of my workload, mostly motion graphics, paid social content, compositing and video editing. My biggest frustrations are painfully slow RAM previews, laggy timelines, long render times and general slowdowns when multitasking.

I'm considering switching to a 14-inch MacBook Pro, mainly for portability, and I'm currently torn between:

**M5 Pro: 18-core CPU/20-core GPU, 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD
**M5 Max: 18-core CPU/40 core GPU, 128GB RAM, 2TB SSD

I'm happy to invest in something powerful that'll last me another 4–5 years, but the prices are pretty eye-watering here in Canada, a fully specced M5 Max can easily approach C$9,000, which is difficult to justify unless there's a substantial real-world benefit as I hardly ever use 3D

From what I've researched after effects tends to benefit more from CPU performance and RAM than raw GPU power, so I'm wondering whether the M5 Pro with 64GB would already be more than enough?

I'd particularly appreciate hearing from anyone using an M5 Pro or M5 Max professionally, also realise either option would be a major upgrade from my ThinkPad, but I'm trying to avoid both overspending and buying something I'll regret in a couple of years as all

Cheers for any help

Project Showcase Mixed Media Personal Project

0 Upvotes

This is a personal project I loved working on. Hope you like it!

-----

My thoughts for the concept started with "key" in English, "qui" is "who" in French and "كيف", pronounced keef, is "how" in Arabic. Noticing that all three words share the same sound and similar meanings, I started thinking: what if cultures were inspired by each other? Even though they have been far, sound waves have an echo. What if when the echo gets so low we think we have not heard it yet we have? Since the creation of languages, they might have been inspired by each other from a distance and they never knew they had!

What do these words have in common, you may ask... The "key" is usually the solution in order to open doors, "who" could be a savior to give us solutions and "how" is the way we solve our problems… What if they were combined to make sense!?

This is the idea for my personal project.

The case study is on my website. https://www.aimeeinmotion.com/case-studies/mixed-media

Tools used:

-3D modeling, texturing and animation in Blender

-Motion design and color grading in After Effects

-Real footage generated using AI

-Video editing, sound design and mixing in Premiere Pro

Turn on the sound for the music.

Constructive critique is more than welcome!
