Knoll 3D Flare (Beta): Free tools for 3D Lighting

Introducing Knoll 3D Flare (Beta), a new free set of tools that allows you to easily create Knoll Lens Flares in After Effects 3D space. This add-on for Knoll Light Factory (2.5) in After Effects includes fantastic features like Edge flare-ups, color linking, Z-depth intensity, and full 3D obscuration.

• 3D Camera Aware: Link a lens flares to a 3D Light's XYZ position.
• Z-Depth: Distance of flare from camera affects flare's intensity.
• Color Linking: Light color affects flare color.
• Intensity Linking: Light intensity affects flare's intensity.
• Multiple Lights: Apply to every light in your  comp.
• World Scale: Control the amount of flare scaling  relative to a light's distance from the camera
• Edge Flareup: As flares near the edge of the comp they automatically brighten and flareup replicating natural lens phenomena.
• Full 3D Obscuration: All 3D layers in your composition can be used to obscure the flare. As the 3D light travels behind a layer, the flare dims and goes out.
• Full RGB Obscuration: As the flare passes behind one or many semi-transparent layers, it mixes the layer colors into the flare.

System Requirements: Adobe After Effects (CS3, CS4) + Knoll Light Factory Pro 2.5

Important Note: To activate Knoll 3D Flare in AE, choose Window > Knoll 3D Flare (at the bottom).
