About Furikake

Furikake is a particle generation plugin for After Effects built around a high‑speed, multi‑core optimized rendering engine that leverages modern CPUs. It can handle large numbers of particles smoothly and supports Multi‑Frame Rendering. Emitters include points, boxes, spheres, grids and more, with control over direction and speed. Particle types range from basic spheres to 2D static or animated textures and 3D textures, with adjustable size, opacity and color over their lifetime. Physical behaviors such as gravity, wind, bounce and turbulence are available, and a Child Particle System generates secondary particles. Rendering uses After Effects’ native lights for lighting and shadows, supports double‑sided textures, normal maps, natural depth of field and 32‑bit color, and works with 3D cameras via a graphical UI.

Features

• Generate particles from a variety of emitter shapes — points, boxes, spheres, grids and more — with control over emission direction and speed
• Particle types include basic spheres, 2D textures (static or animated sequences), and 3D textures, with size, opacity and color adjustable over each particle’s lifetime
• Physical behaviors such as gravity, wind, bounce, and turbulence
• Child Particle System for secondary particles, plus double-sided textures and normal maps
• Lighting and shadows driven by After Effects’ native lights, with natural depth of field and 32-bit color
• Multi-core optimized rendering engine with Multi-Frame Rendering (MFR) support and 3D camera support
