STRINGULAR FUI Toolkit
5 Useful After Effects Scripts for Futuristic UI Design and Others
Welcome to the collection of tools for creating Fake User Interface (FUI) designs in Adobe After Effects. Whether you're building sci-fi HUDs, cyberpunk overlays, tech interfaces, or futuristic dashboards, or just something in general, this toolkit provides everything you need to work faster and create better.
What's Inside
This collection includes five powerful scripts designed to work seamlessly together:
FUI Grid Generator - Generate complex geometric patterns, circuit-like paths, and customizable dot fields with professional symmetry and randomization options.
FUI Hex Generator - Generate the classic hex patterns with customization options.
FUI Fake Data Generator - Populate your interfaces with authentic-looking technical data across 16 different modes, from IP addresses to biometric readings.
Helpful Things - Essential utilities that streamline your workflow, from guide creation to instant PNG exports.
Notes & TODO - Keep the project organized inside After Effects.
Why This Toolkit?
To be honest, these are tools that I like use to make my workflow faster. Sometimes, traditional FUI design in After Effects is time-consuming and repetitive. You spend hours manually creating grids, typing placeholder data, and drawing random geometric patterns. These scripts automate the tedious work while giving you creative control over every parameter.
Each script is optimized for performance, features a simple interface, and includes seed-based generation for reproducible results. Whether you're working on a Hollywood blockbuster, a game trailer, or a tech commercial, these tools will transform your workflow.
Get Started
Simply run any script in After Effects to open its panel. All tools work non-destructively and include undo support. Each script is standalone - use them individually or combine them for maximum creative power. Have fun!
