(Updated 2023!) 🍂 _Falling Leaves_ lets users create 3D leaf animations in Adobe After Effects. Learn more at creationeffects.com/falling-leaves.
Leaves can follow a 3D motion path – making it easy to animate leaves blowing in swirls, or around 3D titles. Just drop in a leaf image into the comp, then choose from 10 finished leaf animation presets. The presets can be customized with easy-to-use controls. Included is a library of over 40 images, featuring a variety of leaves, flower petals, or dandelion seeds. Or, you can use your own leaf image.
The leaves will sway, fold, and spin in 3D as they fall or blow in the wind. Use them as transitions, in motion design, or composite them with footage. Compatible After Effects CC 2019 and up. No plugins required.

Template Features:
*Image Library* - 41 high-res images of leaves and petals of various shapes and colors. You can insert your own image of a leaf, or use an image of anything that you need to fall or float like a leaf, such as sheets of paper, confetti, or dollar bills.
*Finished presets* - 10 customizable leaf animation presets to get you started, including all the animations seen in the demo video above.
*Total customization* - Using convenient slider controls, you can control every stage of the animation, including their variation, the way they fold, rotate, spin on their axis, or sway back and forth.
*3D* - Not only do leaves fold and spin in three dimensions, but you can move groups of leaves along 3D motion paths, like leaves blowing in the wind.
*Works with 3D lights & cameras* - The leaves are 3D layers, allowing them to cast and receive shadows. Adjust the light layers to match the lighting in your footage.
*HD or 4K* - The effect works the same in any resolution.
