Fractal Volume is a GPU‑accelerated After Effects plug‑in that creates true 3D fractal noise, fully reacting to scene cameras and lights. It offers multiple fractal and noise types, axis cropping, map depth, and color controls.
Developed by grape design.
About Fractal Volume
Fractal Volume is an After Effects effect that generates true 3D fractal noise in space. The plugin uses GPU acceleration to keep the noise responsive to cameras and lights within a composition. Users can select from five fractal types and four noise types, crop the volume along the X, Y, and Z axes, adjust map depth, and modify brightness and contrast. Noise density and render quality are also adjustable. Compatibility is limited to After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023. Version 1.0 was released on April 4, 2026, and a demo video is provided for preview.
