Procedural Volumetric VFX for After Effects
VOLJECT
Volumetric VFX,
directly in After Effects.
No simulation. No cache.
Just directable volume.
01Direct manipulation
Shape it.
Direct it.
Animate it.
Make the volume respond to the shot—not the other way around.
Volject keeps the creative loop inside After Effects. Change a parameter, see the image respond, and keep directing the result.

TODO: Consider a scrubbable, pre-rendered parameter sweep here (no WebGL) once footage exists.
02Why Volject
Directable volume,
built around the shot.
Production-oriented
Controls are organized around making a finished image and adjusting it in context.
Inside After Effects
Stay in the composition while building, animating and finishing the effect.
03Core workflow
A clear path
from volume to shot.
Powerful internals, organized as a visual workflow. Each stage adds direction without hiding the image behind a technical interface.

05Built from production
OHTORI is the software and tools brand of Ohtori Studio, a production studio. Volject is its first product.
