Body settings can be copied from oneīody and reapplied to other bodies using the Copy/Paste Body Settings commands in the Edit menu. To change the properties of a body, you must first select it in the body list or directly in the preview. When creating a scene in AE it is important to keep in mind that Newton doesn't look at layer pixels, it only interprets the shape/contour of a layer.įor instance, precomp or footage layers will be interpreted as rectangles, no matter what they actually contain or represent.Įvery custom body shape must be created with masks, shapes or text. Newton ignores the following layer types: audio layers, guide layers, null layers, 3D layers, and video-disabled layers. These bodies can bounce, slide, and collide with each other. Newton transforms the 2D layers of the composition into physical objects called bodies.
You will find it as a new command added to the bottom of the Composition menu. Newton is a not an effect, therefore you won't find it in the Effects & Presets panel.
