Combining with other effects
Can't you just do what MXM does natively? Yes, but it takes longer.
If you want to create a procedural scatter effect based on a grid, doing it natively requires a grid of shape layers, a control null, and several lines of wiggle() or noise() expressions. With the MXM plugin, you apply it to a single layer, dial in the matrix parameters, and the plugin handles the virtual array. It’s a time-saver, not a magic trick.
