About this software

Trapcode Tao is an After Effects plugin for generating procedural 3D geometries along paths. It creates extruded shapes, spheres, and N-gons using mask shapes, built-in auto paths, or motion from After Effects 3D lights. Tao supports repeaters, fractal displacement, image-based lighting, built-in environment maps, and customizable presets for motion graphics and VFX. It integrates with After Effects cameras and lights and uses GPU-accelerated rendering for interactive previews.
