Yanobox Nodes

Yanobox Nodes offers unprecedented power to create connected motion graphics and abstract particle universes. Nodes is used by leading artists to create high-end screen graphics in motion pictures like The Avengers, Planet of the Apes and Ender’s Game.

Yanobox Nodes is a plugin for After Effects, Final Cut Pro X, Motion and Premiere Pro. Created by the same author of the acclaimed Motype title generator, Nodes lets you combine text and graphics in beautiful 3D animations. The unlockable, trial version of Nodes is available by installing FxFactory.

VISUALIZE COMPLEX SYSTEMS
Visualizing interconnected data, such as fantasy user interfaces (FUI), is a rewarding challenge for motion designers. Yanobox Nodes provides a comprehensive toolset to gracefully animate huge amounts of visual elements.

• Procedural Geometry - Start with primitives, 3D models or footage to create a point cloud. Then populate the system with particles, images, and text lists to achieve stunning results.
• Connected Particles - Define relationships between nodes, script-specific links and render stacks of bezier curves, lines, or wireframes with detailed precision.
• Organic Effects - Replicate forms and play with randomness and probabilities. Inject noise, deformations, and oscillations into the system to create an organic flow.

What’s New

A powerful new replicator, a deep animation module, and a smart preset browser make this the biggest update of Nodes yet.

Presets Browser for all Hosts
Meet the new presets browser featuring categories and keyword search. Quickly explore the large library or save your composition as a preset, then load it with a simple click in any compatible host.

Regular Polygon Forms
Create triangles, squares, hexagons, and shapes with any number of sides. Subdivide each side with any number of points. Extrude the forms with lines or assemble them into grids.

Radial offsets
Apply radial offsets with random variations to the circle and sphere.

Auto-Animations
Revamped animation module with 4 slots and 40 parameter destinations. Choose a parameter and simply adjust its animation speed. Temporarily bypass all animations with a single click.

Colors
Affine the color distribution of the complementary, triad or 360 Color Modes with the new Gap parameter.

Transforms
Change the rotation origin to achieve orbital motion. Adjust the global scale to quickly visualize the whole scene or to integrate with AE 3D tracking.

Probabilities
Randomly hide or reveal nodes, text, lines or replicas with separated probability parameters. Set a global seed to synchronize apparitions.

Fixed size points
Render the nodes with super-fast perspective unaware points.

Grid offsets
The grid form now provides row and column offsets coupled with a gap parameter to achieve interesting patterns.

Better connections
Create stroked forms with the new Close Path option. Constrain random connections to any axis or avoid diagonals.

Background color
Apply a background color or set it to transparent.
