Camera-native 3D, no depth pass
Zink 3D effects read your comp camera directly. Fire plumes, orbiting halos, ground impacts and light streaks live in your scene's 3D space β parallax, perspective and occlusion for free.
- Works with any AE camera, one- or two-node
- Projected ground & wall surfaces without geometry
- 3D occluder support via pick-whip
Anime FX drawn by math, not by hand
Thirty-plus procedural cel FX families β smears, impact frames, rush lines, explosion peaks, chain storms, folding smoke β every ghost frame its own drawing, on 2s or 3s like real genga.
- Style popups: shΕnen, ufotable, retro OVA and more
- Line boil, stepped timing and posterized ramps built in
- One keyframable event per plugin β scrub it like a shot
Riggers that animate for you
Head tilts, hair breeze, weight shifts, breathing idles, blink cycles, full puppet rigs β the Zink Rig line adds believable life to still art with sliders, not keyframe farming.
- 200+ ready-made rig presets included
- Drift-free trackers with reference-frame architecture
- Effects never clip at the layer edge β guaranteed
Fast, safe, and honest with your render
Pure C++ with no external runtimes. Every plugin ships through a numeric guard suite β hundreds of automated render checks β before it ever reaches an installer.
- Native x64 on Windows, universal x86_64 + arm64 on macOS
- Multi-frame rendering aware, 8/16-bpc, float where it matters
- Free updates on your tier β the suite grows weekly
