The official source to purchase or download a trial version of the AEScripts + FVTools Bundle would typically be the AEScripts website or other authorized resellers. Be cautious when downloading software from third-party sites to ensure you're getting legitimate products and to avoid potential malware.

At its core, the ft-UvPass Bundle is a collection of three main effects that read and manipulate auxiliary 3D channels:

Version 5.5.1a updates these tools for better performance on multi-core systems, improved EXR deep-color handling, and native support for Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) and the latest Adobe betas.

Using the ft-NormalsPass, you can relight a 3D scene entirely in After Effects. By combining the Normals pass (surface angle) with a custom light direction slider, you can add rim lights, fill lights, or even create fake global illumination without touching the 3D software.

The FTUVPass Bundle (often referred to simply as FTUV) is a collection of plugins developed by Plugin Everything (distributed via aescripts.com). At its core, the bundle is designed to solve one massive problem: Motion Vector data in After Effects.

While 3D programs like Blender, Maya, or Cinema 4D natively export motion vectors (UV passes) to create perfect pixel-motion blur and optical flow, After Effects has traditionally struggled to generate or interpret this data from 2D layers and 2.5D cameras.

The FTUVPass bundle bridges that gap. Version v551a specifically refines the engine for native Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) and Windows Intel/AMD systems, ensuring faster caching and fewer crashes when processing complex vector data.
