Newton 3 – 10 Minute Crash Course

Lewis McGregor posted a Newton 3 – 10 Minute Crash Course at Premium Beat. He starts by explaining what Newton is, a 2D physics simulator plugin for After Effects. He has a video, below, but he also has a lot more information, including walking you through all of the Newton 3 settings. In other words, be sure to check out the full tutorial.

Newton 3 brings realistic physics to After Effects, making your 2D composition layers act like solid objects that interact with each other – just like in the real world. It gives you many ways to control the properties of your objects, including type, density, friction, bounciness and velocity. You can also change world properties, like gravity. What’s more, Newton 3 allows you to create realistic joints between objects, so you can easily create complex motion. Once you complete your simulation, the animation is recreated in After Effects with standard keyframes, so you can adjust the timing however you choose. Easy, no?
