Frequently Asked Questions
What is Physim?
Physim is an After Effects tool designed for creating physics simulations within your compositions. It provides a simple interface for animations involving gravity, collisions, magnetism, and other physics-related properties.
How do I get started with Physim?
Getting started with Physim is easy. Simply open your composition in After Effects, select the layers you want to include in the simulation, and click 'Get'. Physim will build the scene, and you can start adjusting parameters and applying physics simulations right away.
What parameters can I adjust in Physim?
Physim allows you to adjust various parameters for each layer, including behavior, restitution (bounciness), density, friction, attractor (magnetism or repulsion), and air resistance. You can also control global parameters like gravity and add walls to your simulation.
Can Physim handle keyframes?
Yes, Physim integrates with keyframes in After Effects. The keyframe data is used until the last keyframe, after which the physics simulation takes over. This allows for seamless transitions between animated keyframes and physics-driven movements.
How do I apply a Physim simulation back into After Effects?
Once you're happy with your simulation in Physim, simply click 'Apply'. Physim will add null layers and a save data layer to your composition, allowing you to preview and edit the simulation directly in After Effects.
Can I use Physim with text and characters?
Yes, Physim works with text and character layers in After Effects, but you must first convert them to individual shape layers.
What is the attractor feature in Physim?
The attractor feature in Physim allows you to apply magnetic or repulsive forces to layers. By adjusting the attractor value, you can control how layers are pulled towards or pushed away from the attractor object.
Can I save and reuse Physim simulations?
Yes, Physim saves your simulation data, allowing you to access and reuse it later. This is especially useful for projects where you need to apply similar physics effects to multiple compositions.
