Physics and Distribution stability update

Coming your way
Improved
Faster simulations and cleaner timelines: trimmed layers only participate while they're visible (in/out points)
Fix
Force layers now stay aligned when parented, even with custom anchor points, scaling, and rotation

Fix
Handles duplicate layer names correctly
Fix
Path guide sampling now matches what you see, even when the guide layer is parented

Common fixes and improvements

January 2026

Physics Widget, Distribution Widget, Text Splitter, Script Settings, Easing Sets, Share Center, and Expressions Library improvements

New
Add realistic physics to your layers — objects can fall, bounce, and collide. Works with rectangles, circles, shapes, masks, and AE 2026 parametric 3D meshes. Control gravity, bounce, friction, and density per layer
New
Forces: Add attraction and repulsion force fields with animated strength and radius
New
Kinematic bodies: Create animated obstacles that push physics objects without being affected themselves
New
Generate point patterns (Grid, Poisson, Fibonacci, Spiral, Radial, and more) and fill them with duplicates of selected layers. Supports avoid/include zones, random primitives, AE 2026 3D meshes, and settings persistence
New
Split text layers into individual characters, words, or lines with customizable options
New
Easing Sets: Organize your easing presets into collections. Create, rename, duplicate, and delete sets. Export and import sets to share with your team
Improved
Improved preset editor layout and smoother renaming workflow
Fix
Improved stability when upgrading from older versions
Fix
Easing curves now work correctly with linear keyframes
Expressions Library
Improved
New badges show which properties each expression works with (position, scale, rotation, opacity, text) and what it requires
Improved
New Property and Requirements filters to quickly find the right expression
Fix
Fixed button alignment in expression cards
Fix
Fixed filter dropdowns being hidden behind other elements
Super3D Widget
Improved
Updated to match Super3D v1.4.6 with better shape support and material options
Fix
Built-in 3D shapes and generators now appear correctly in the library
Fix
Fixed error when selecting materials
New
Script Settings: Configure settings for individual scripts directly from the Settings panel
New
Share Center: Export and import your Motion Tools setup — layouts, scripts, expressions, and styles — as a single portable file
Improved
All documentation links now open on tools.motiondesign.school for faster access

Single Image Edit V4, Google Veo 3.1 models, Generate Similar V3, Upscaling + Retouching V2

New
Custom Workflows Folder Access: Added a "Custom Workflows" section in Settings → AI Generation with a button to quickly open the custom workflows folder
Fix
Fixed AI generation progress showing 0% instead of approximate estimation during initial processing

Compatibility fix for third-party scripts

Fix
Fixed Array.prototype override that could cause conflicts with other scripts
Fix
Fixed "Can not call setValue() on a property with keyframes" error in Abstract style Generate Lines function

December 2025

Collections, WebGL engine, and improved parsing

New
New Collections feature for organizing and saving your favorite Rive animations into packs
New
WebGL rendering engine: properly displays animations with vector feathering and other new features that the default Canvas engine doesn't support
New
New Fetch button to parse animations by link for more convenient workflow
Improved
Smarter parsing of available states when artboard is changed
Improved
Refactored foundation for further development
Improved
Polished UI with visual refinements

Fix
Fixed cropping accuracy for thin lines and rotated shapes
Fix
Fixed excessive padding on thin stroke layers
