It produces output entirely from shape layers and supports shape‑layer modifiers, allowing for flexible adjustments. The tool provides two primary styles—cartoon and abstract—plus extra types such as invert, both, and regular, and it can generate unlimited variations. It is compatible with a wide range of After Effects versions, from CS6 up through the 2025 release, covering all intermediate CC and Creative Cloud editions.
