The Dojo Review
This plugin is so incredibly useful that I use it in nearly every project I work on in some sort of way. For motion graphics, it’s a necessity for impactful titles and organic particle effects. For vfx, it’s insanely helpful for simulating rain, smoke, sparks, and much more. If you could only afford to buy one plugin, buy this one! It’s diverse and can be used for a myriad of things.
