Red Giant team member here. We’ll gauge user interest in expanding the supported formats as Geo gets into more hands. I’ll take this as one vote for alembic and USD.
You’ll find Geo in the RG Trapcode effects folder. It definitely has some overlap with Form in the Cloner but is still missing a lot of Form’s capabilities. Is that a direction you would like to see Geo go in?
@@nate42 thanks for your reply, oh I actually meant Trap-code Mir. I got those two mixed up! Yeah Form is for a completely different purpose. It would seem to me that Geo has more capabilities than Mir and the two plugins seems to be made for very similar use case that is to work with 3D geometry inside of AE. Going forward would GEO be replacing Mir? Seems redundant to have 2 plugins doing similar things, I always find Mir to be very limited for 3D.
@@DonTNguyen Ah yes, great observation. In fact, Geo was originally intended as an update to Mir, expanding on Mir's 3D object capabilities. However, part way through development, we determined that it should be two separate tools. So, our intent is to follow up at some point to give Mir an update and focus on what it does best - deformed meshes, landscapes, wireframes, etc.
Performance updates are always appreciated 👏
Is this just Element 3D, but 10 years after Element 3D?
Geo is a simpler, easier-to-use tool. It can't do everything Element 3D can do, but it'll do what you need it to do in quite a few cases.
Thank you for everything
mind blown
Any plans to add Alembic and USD support?

Is Geo apart of the trap code suite and replacing form?

@@nate42 excited to see all the updates to the trapcode suite! RG pluggins are the reason why I keep on using After Effects!
@@DonTNguyen That's great to hear! We're especially excited about the speed increase in rendering Particular - especially with more complex setups.
I would love to see y'all show us a kamehameha wave tutorial
We'll mention it to folks. Do you have an example of what you mean?
My mother said, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it. So....
All feedback has value. If this release doesn't hit the mark for you, it would be great to know why.
Nate, who responded to you is on our team here. And he's right. If this release doesn't have what you'd like to see, please tell us what you'd like!
