Free plugin · native Metal GPU
Beam
An energy-blade generator with living noise — the flagship, free forever.
Running live in your browser right now. The plugin runs the same math on native GPU inside After Effects.
Not a mockup
Same keyframes. Side by side — soon.
This panel replays a fixed parameter ramp, live on your GPU. When the first build ships, the same keyframes get recorded in After Effects and placed beside it, and you judge the match with your own eyes. Until that capture exists, we won't pretend it does.
Correctness — how close is close?
Before a build ships we render the same frame in our plugin and in the reference, and diff every pixel. If the difference grows, it doesn't ship.

Does it phone home?
Never. The key check runs entirely offline — no license server, no network calls. The proof page shows a packet capture of a full render: flat zero.
