Creation Effects: Schools

Animate custom schools of fish in After Effects with Schools

Schools lets users easily create realistic, 3D fish animations in Adobe After Effects. Just drop in a fish image and it instantly converts to a school, with each fish swimming and oscillating in three dimensions. Simply tell the school where to go, and the fish will swim there with automatic schooling behavior. Customize the swimming behavior using convenient controls.

Included are 40 species of fish or marine mammals, with unique, preset swimming and schooling behavior. Also included are 7 underwater 3D scenes. Or, create your own 3D scenes with the custom water effects and a 74-image library of coral, plants, and other ocean elements. With Schools, even After Effects novices can create high-quality 3D animations of life under the sea!

Compatible with CS5 and up. Works in 4K. Music from preview not included.
