After Effects plugin that finds every intersection between your animated paths and renders the layers of your choice at each crossing. Works with masks, shape paths and parametric shapes, even through Shape Layer operators.

Your operators reshape paths at render time, and no plugin could ever see the result. This one can. Find Intersections computes the exact geometry on your screen, finds every point where it crosses, and renders any layers you choose right there. Live, on every frame, while everything animates.

Drop the effect on your artwork, Every intersection appears

No setup. Use All Paths is on by default: apply the effect, and every crossing in your artwork is already found (or pick specific paths).

Paths from anywhere in your comp

Mix mask paths on solids, paths on shape layers, parametric ellipses, rectangles and polystars, all pulled from different layers at once. Every layer’s transform is followed automatically. Selecting the layers is the entire setup: no parenting, no expressions.

Any layer, rendered at every crossing

Pick up to 5 layers. Cycle them in order or shuffle them with a seed. Scale them with one slider. That’s it. They live at the intersections now, and they follow every move your paths make. Even their rotation can follow the crossing’s angle.
