Introducing Knoll 3D Flare (Beta)

Free Tools for Knoll Light Factory Pro 2.5 Users

 

San Francisco, CA, December 17, 2009 – Red Giant Software has released Knoll 3D Flare (Beta), a set of tools that allows you to easily create Knoll Lens Flares in After Effects 3D space. This FREE add-on for Knoll Light Factory Pro 2.5 in After Effects includes fantastic features like Edge flare-ups, color linking, Z-depth intensity, and full 3D obscuration.

 

Features

 

• 3D Camera Aware: Link a lens flares to a 3D Light's XYZ position
• Z-Depth: Distance of flare from camera effects flare's intensity.
• Color Linking: Light color effects flare color.
• Intensity Linking: Light intensity effects flare's intensity.
• Multiple Lights: Apply to every light in your comp.
• 3D Camera Aware: Link a lens flares to a 3D Light's XYZ position
• 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.
