Dear Some (French) Nerd: Thanks!
Saturday, May 21, 2011 at 11:57AM Literally a thousand years ago* I wrote a post titled Dear some nerd: Please port the Box2D open-source physics engine to an Adobe After Effects Script. I’m not sure if that’s exactly what Motion Boutique has done with Newton, but what they’ve made looks incredibly fun and usable.
It speaks well to the usability of the After Effects plug-in that this demo (embedding disabled for some reason) makes perfect sense even if you don’t speak French.
Anyone know the release date? Price?
* Literally.

Today on Twitter they told you " a couple of weeks."
Thanks Tom! I was going to post that as an update, but you just saved me the trouble.
You're welcome!

WOW! seems damn cool stuff...
Motion Boutique has posted a longer walkthrough of the software on vimeo. Still in French, which I can barely remember bits and pieces of, but the screen captures are pretty good.

Hi Dan, is that not the same video I linked to in my post?
Whoops, I didn't even notice your link, Stu. I was going for mostly coherent, and I ended up being mostly redundant. Very excited about Newton, though. Between that, AEscripts' new goodies, CS5.5, and new Red Giant Stuff, there's a lot of new toys to play with.
