Yanobox Storm is a procedural 3D generator for After Effects, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve that creates organic forms and evolving surfaces, rendered entirely on the GPU without importing external models or textures.
Developed by Yanobox (FxFactory).

About Yanobox Storm
Yanobox Storm is a procedural 3D generator that produces detailed organic forms and evolving surfaces with real‑time animation and shading. It runs as a plugin in After Effects, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve and requires the Noise Industries FxFactory framework. The plugin includes a self‑contained GPU rendering engine, allowing fast interaction with millions of shaded polygons. Geometry originates from parametric primitives shaped by built‑in 3D fractal noise types (directional, curly, ridged, hair simulation). Falloff effectors provide planar or spherical displacement, while styled or photorealistic shaders support volumetric gradients, temperature‑based ramps, directional lighting, reflection, refraction, fresnel and fog. Environments can be built from embedded maps or imported equirectangular images and VR videos, with classic or additive blending for transparent effects.
Features
- Self-contained GPU rendering engine with no need to import 3D models or textures, handling millions of shaded polygons
- Multiple fractal noise types: 3D fractal, directional, curly, ridged, and a hair simulation mode
- Styled or photorealistic shaders with directional lighting, reflection, refraction, fresnel, and fog
- Volumetric color gradients and temperature-based color ramps for heat and incandescent materials
- Falloff effectors with planar or spherical zones for twisting and deformation
- Immersive 360° environments from embedded maps or imported equirectangular images and VR videos
- Classic and additive blending for transparent phenomena
Best for
Motion designers and editors who need a fast, fully procedural solution for generating 3D visuals inside their compositing or editing host.
Frequently asked questions
Does Yanobox Storm work with After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve?
Yes. Yanobox Storm operates as a plugin in After Effects, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, and it also supports Final Cut Pro X and Motion.
What does Yanobox Storm need to run?
The plugin requires the Noise Industries FxFactory framework, which is available as a free download. FxFactory Pro is a paid version that shares the same system requirements.
Does Yanobox Storm run on Apple Silicon?
It runs on macOS machines with both Apple Silicon and Intel processors, subject to the system requirements defined by FxFactory.
Is Yanobox Storm free?
The catalog lists Yanobox Storm as free, but it depends on FxFactory, which has a free version and a paid Pro version with identical requirements.
Do I need to import 3D models to use Yanobox Storm?
No. Yanobox Storm generates geometry, noise and shading internally, so you do not need to import external 3D models or textures.
