About RXXR
RXXR is a generator plugin from R/L that produces ASCII and pixel‑based techno‑glitch effects inside After Effects. The tool provides a library of character styles, a Mix Style feature for blending styles, and an Edge Detect mode that can show only object outlines, with an optional Dark Outlines setting. Colour is managed through gradient presets and a Gradient Shift controller, while grid appearance is tuned via Line Size, Expand Markers, and other parameters. Version 1.1.0 adds reworked Offset controls with Wrap Edges, higher Symbol Size limits, and several performance fixes. It supports After Effects 2026 through 2020 and is catalogued as free, though licensing details should be confirmed on the developer’s page.
