You know we're working on a depth estimation tool.
What other tools (that we don't make yet) would help you in your workflow?

Have you played with TAO yet?
It's endlessly playful and surprisingly powerful.
Drive paths, colors, sizes, and more with #AfterEffects lights; repeat shapes; render with reflective environments, and much more!
It's abstract fun.

Hi there! While we understand your frustration, we make industry standard VFX, mograph, color grading, and editing plugins for After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, etc. - we don't have much to do with the sculpting tools you've grown to love. But we can pass your thoughts to our colleagues.
