Nodes offers unprecedented power to create connected motion graphics and abstract particle universes. Nodes is used by leading artists to create high-end screen graphics in motion pictures like The Avengers, Planet of the Apes and Ender's Game.
Plugin for After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Motion and Premiere Pro.
Visualize Complex Systems
Procedural Geometry
Start with primitives, 3D models or footage to create a point cloud. Then populate the system with particles, images, and text lists to achieve stunning results.
Connected Particles
Define relationships between nodes, script specific links and render stacks of bezier curves, lines, or wireframes with detailed precision.
Organic Effects
Replicate forms and play with randomness and probabilities. Inject noise, deformations, and oscillations into the system to create an organic flow.
What's new in Nodes 3?
A powerful new replicator, a deep animation module and a smart preset browser make this the biggest update of Nodes yet.
Replicator
Compose beautiful superstructures. Nodes 3 adds a new 3D effect to replicate connected graphics and animate scenes onto other geometries. Arrange the replicas onto 2D or 3D primitives like circles, spheres and matrices. Add random noise or oscillations. Rotate, scale and orient with step-by-step or uniform transformations. Control how the original node features are preserved or populated through the replicator instances.
Presets Browser for all Hosts
Meet the new presets browser featuring categories and keyword search. Quickly explore the large library or save your composition as a preset, then load it with a simple click in any compatible host.
Regular Polygon Forms
Create triangles, squares, hexagons and shapes with any number of sides. Subdivide each side with any number of points. Extrude the forms with lines or assemble them into grids.
Radial offsets
Apply radial offsets with random variations to the circle and sphere.
Auto-Animations
Revamped animation module with 4 slots and 40 parameter destinations. Choose a parameter and simply adjust its animation speed. Temporarily bypass all animations with a single click.
Colors
Affine the color distribution of the complementary, triad or 360 Color Modes with the new Gap parameter.
Transforms
Change the rotation origin to achieve orbital motion. Adjust the global scale to quickly visualise the whole scene or to integrate with AE 3D tracking.
Probabilities
Randomly hide or reveal nodes, text, lines or replicas with separated probability parameters. Set a global seed to synchronise apparitions.
Fixed size points
Render the nodes with super-fast perspective unaware points.
Grid offsets
The grid form now provides row and column offsets coupled with a gap parameter to achieve interesting patterns.
Better connections
Create stroked forms with the new Close Path option. Constrain random connections to any axis or avoid diagonals.
Background color
Apply a background color or set it to transparent.
300 Animated Presets and Templates
Boost your inspiration or even finish your next production with drag and drop. Yanobox Nodes 3 is supercharged with a huge collection of procedural motion graphics, all modifiable to promptly adapt to your needs.
An Arsenal for Motion Designers
Quickly explore multiples graphic tracks, create reusable widgets and enhance your compositions with vibrant dynamic details
A Gold Mine for the Pro Editors
Instantly propose graphic ideas and animated solutions for your clients while editing in Final Cut Pro X or Premiere Pro.
GPU Accelerated 3D Environment
Nodes speeds up your workflow with smooth interaction and real time rendering of hundreds of thousands of particles, text layers, growing lines or bezier curves.
Import 3D Models
Import OBJ 3D models and sequences created with popular 3D software. Add nodes and text to the vertices, stylise wireframes with probabilities, and play with animated meshes. The possibilities are endless.
Extract Nodes from Footage
Generate custom point clouds from your videos and images. Use luminance to affect positions, node sizes or to animate deformations.
Accelerated Fonts
Play with five thousand real time layers of text thanks to the accelerated fonts. Generate massive text lists, random numbers or fly over typographic architectures.
Fully Integrated into After Effects
Nodes natively supports the After Effects Camera. This allows for seamless integration with other industry standard plugins also compatible with the 3D environment offered by AE. This feature enables clever methods of layering to quickly create sophisticated 3D compositions with multiple instances of Nodes.
One of the Favorite Tools in the Industry
From Hollywood blockbusters and broadcast video to corporate events, Yanobox Nodes is being used by many talented artists on a number of great projects.
I've been using Nodes for years in films like Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Avengers and Ender's Game. Its ability to customize the design of every detail and sophisticated way of displaying connected data driven graphics that respond to the After Effects camera makes it essential for me in creating conceptual and final UI designs for feature film.

I wanna give you congratulations for Nodes. It has really change my workflow and its an amazing tool... I am really pushing myself to explore and to take more advantage of Nodes’ creative madness.

Nodes is very intuitive, fully customizable, fast and reliable. It is easy to generate attractive “accidents” and strangely beautiful interfaces.
Nodes is actually my absolute favorite go-to weapon of choice, as much of my work has a futuristic feel, and Nodes is the only tool that can do serious advanced wireframing with a lot of control.
