PhysicDesk

PhysicDesk

pro

A real-time 2D physics simulator for After Effects โ€” fast, accurate, and running right inside your viewport. Build scenes with dynamic, static, and animated bodies; connect them through pivot, weld, spring, wheel, and rope joints; add force zones for wind, magnets, turbulence, and explosions; layer in particle emitters, fracture, soft bodies, and sound-driven motion. When the simulation looks right, bake every motion path into native After Effects keyframes โ€” fully editable, ready to render.
