About Creation Effects: Space Effects

Creation Effects: Space Effects is an After Effects template for creating custom 3D space animations. It includes models for the earth and moon, a solar‑flaring sun derived from NASA footage, a black hole with an accretion disc, a spiral galaxy, nebulae, a comet with shooting stars, star fields, and a full solar system with all eight planets. The package bundles the Black Hole, Solaris, and Terra templates and adds 15 custom lens flares, a 360° star background, 28 pre‑animated compositions, and a comprehensive video tutorial. Every celestial object has a control layer with intuitive sliders, enabling adjustments without advanced After Effects skills. All effects are built entirely within After Effects, require no third‑party plugins, and run on both PC and Mac platforms supporting After Effects version 17.0 (2020) and later. The template is language‑agnostic and totals approximately 1.5 GB in size.

Does Space Effects need any extra plugins?

No. The template does not require any extra plugins. All effects are created within After Effects and are controlled via built‑in sliders and control layers.

Which Space Effects features require After Effects 2024?
