BLACK HOLE
For Adobe After Effects
What is it?
Black Hole allows you to easily and quickly create high-quality black hole animations in Adobe After Effects. Designed with customization in mind, this template includes a 3D black hole, complete with a curved 3D accretion disc, orbiting cloud matter, and warping of the stars behind the black hole. All you need to do is customize their look with easy-to-use controls, then animate your camera and render. The 360° star background gives you the freedom to create elaborate camera movements, and view the black hole from different angles. Also included are the comps for all seven animations from the video above, including an effect that imitates stars and matter being sucked down a 3D funnel.
It's notoriously difficult to create a black hole in After Effects, but this finished effect will save you days of work, and the video tutorial walks you through everything you need to know. Modeled after scientifically accurate simulations from NASA, this template is a no-brainer for anyone needing black hole animations – AE professionals and novices alike.

The Black Hole template is not a plugin, so there is nothing to install. Rather, it's an Adobe After Effects project file, commonly known as a "template" because most of the work is already done and the user needs only to make their own customizations. This template is compatible with version 17.0 as well as all later versions of After Effects.
