Generates procedural 3D geometries and ribbons along paths.
While newer versions are always available, the 15.1.7 release on Windows is renowned for its reliability.
Tao allows artists to generate complex, 3D geometric forms and lines along a path, perfect for creating motion graphics elements that require a 3D feel without complex 3D software. Why Choose Trapcode Suite 15.1.7 for Windows?
Generates complex, procedural ribbons and geometric tubes along paths. Windows System Requirements
Mir is a powerful tool for creating 3D terrains, wireframes, and abstract surfaces. Version 3 introduced the ability to use external as Mir objects, a major leap forward. You could now upload your own OBJ files to be deformed, repeated, and animated like any other Mir surface. Later point updates (like 15.0.1) also improved how Mir handled very large OBJ files and fixed geometry issues on Windows systems, ensuring stability when working with complex 3D assets.
The visual effects landscape has moved on since v15.1.7, with Maxon (who now owns Red Giant) releasing significant updates:
This is the crown jewel of the suite. Particular 4 introduced the new Dynamic Fluids behavior, allowing for swirls, vortexes, and other hydrodynamic movements. It also included performance improvements and bug fixes, such as better shadow fidelity and more accurate clip looping, making high-end particle effects more practical for everyday use.
, allowing for easier workflow when building complex systems. Improved Physics
Both Particular and Form feature updated Shadowlet systems with adjustable softness and shape matching for more realistic self-shading.

Running this old version on a new system with Windows 11 and the latest After Effects would be highly likely to result in crashes, errors, and feature failure.
