This is essentially the same effect as my Sinedot Photoshop Filter. I just did a quick conversion to AfterFx because it's so easy :)

Don't ask me what it's good for. If you actually had a good usage for it please mail me and let me know. I'd be very interested in hearing and especially seeing what you used it for.
