The plug-ins I spoke of earlier seem to have struck a chord with After Effects community. Due to the massive amount of feedback I received, I decided to set up a small business in order to start selling the plug-ins.
The first release will be the most simple (but at the same time probably the most useful) of the lot: It let’s you light your 3D objects directly in AE — in real-time, no less! Gone are the days of waiting for the 3D renderer just to see that the changes you made didn’t turn out quite as you had expected.
Further upcoming plug-ins include effects for
– Specular hilights
– Reflections
– Refractions
– Toon/cel shading
– Image based illumination
– Bump/normalmapping
– Texturing
– Spherical environments
– … and a few more surprises!
The new website will be announced right here once it’s done. Expect the trial versions to appear shortly after…
