Newton interprets 2D composition layers as rigid bodies interacting in a real environment. Newton provides many simulation controllers such as body properties (type, density, friction, bounciness, velocity, etc), global properties (gravity, solver), and allows the creation of joints between bodies. Once simulation is completed, animation is recreated in After Effects with standard keyframes.
New Features in v2
4 types of joint to link bodies
Efficient and clean user interface
Better support of shape layers
Magnetism system
Gravity scale, convex hull, fixed rotation
Scene snapshots, actions history, comprehensive user’s guide…
Mac安装方法：
1. Move the DLL files fromWin folderto directly into the AE plugin folder. (not plugins/newton, as mentioned by dudenay)
2. Copy the newton MAC pluginto theAE plugin folder(again, not plugins/newton.)
3. This is IMPORTANT,make sure the plugin is called: ‘Newton_trial.plugin’
4. Launch AE. There shouldn’t be any errors, if there are, delete all files redo steps.
5. Newton will be under the composition menu. It will prompt its a trial, just okay it (cause its not).
6. When you render it will make a new comp, unless you uncheck it in the newton dialog.
