Great tips from VinhSon Nguyen at CreativeDojo on using Trapcode Mir for abstract design elements.

Fractal City - using AE fractal noise to generate complex forms in Mir

I really love the fractal noise generator in After Effects, and it works beautifully as a source for displacement maps in Mir. This is almost entirely procedurally generated - no bitmaps or external assets used.

You can download the After Effects project files from digitaldistortion.net if you want to have a play with it.

MIR colorfields

12 comps of colorful animated bulging sheets, ribbons and more using Trapcode Mir.

It's hard to get this to compress well to H.264 - for full quality download the AEP and render it.

Try putting some image with colors you like in the "tex colors" comp.
