mO2 is a 3D rendering and animation plugin from MotionVFX for Final Cut Pro and Motion 5, designed to create, customize, animate, and integrate 3D elements directly inside the editing and motion graphics workflow. Built around Physically Based Rendering, it can be used to produce realistic 3D titles, intros, compositions, transitions, product visualizations, and other motion graphics without relying on a separate 3D application for the entire workflow.

The plugin combines 3D models, materials, textures, lighting, cameras, environments, animation tools, and post-processing effects in a unified scene system. It also supports importing custom assets and several common 3D formats, making it suitable for both preset-based workflows and more complex custom scenes.
