道

Trapcode Tao (alternativley: Dao/Michi/道) is a new plug-in I'm writing now. I've been longing for this ever since I made 3D Stroke. After developing Mir, I finally have everything in place. 道 means "path" in Chinese and Japanese. It has to do with paths. 

Here are some more renders and a sketch I made when figuring out the triangles, normals and winding orders etc:

Trapcode Suite refreshed for AE CC 2015

Trapcode Suite has been updated for CC 2015. One problem remains with Sound Keys - it cannot generate new keyframes when run in AE CC 2015. Your old project will load and work fine, it is just new generation that doesn't work. This issue will require a fix from Adobe, they are aware and on it.

Because of this issue we recommend that you keep CC 2014 side by side. The CC 2015 installer by defualt removes any previous installations, so read this before you install CC 2015.

More info and how to get the updates.

Tove Styrke music video by Slobodan Zivic

The super cool and talented Swedish artist Tove Styrke has a music video for the awesome track "Even If I'm Loud It Doesn't Mean I'm Talking to You" directed by Slobodan Zivic that uses Trapcode Mir to create beautiful geometric patterns. Also, check out the sweet 303 that solos at 2:10 -- just lovely.
