Newton 4

Developer: Motion Boutique

Download Free

A native 2D physics plugin that turns After Effects layers into interactive rigid bodies.

What Newton 4 does

Newton 4 from Motion Boutique converts a composition into a physics playground. Ordinary 2D layers become physical objects that fall, collide and bounce with realistic motion.

Body types on offer include Triggermatic, Hidden, Waterlike and Grenade, plus a teleportation mechanism and a Weld joint to connect objects. The Keyframes panel gains a Loop Type option, there is a Samples Browser dialog, null layers are supported, and the preview can be panned with the middle mouse button. Motion designers who want convincing physical animation without hand-keying every bounce will find it a strong fit.

Key features

  • Turns 2D layers into physical objects
  • Triggermatic, Hidden, Waterlike and Grenade bodies
