3D Reflector 2 (for After Effects)
|
Adding reflections to existing scenes takes just a few clicks. DESCRIPTION
Reflect On This
After Effects can do so much, but you couldn't do reflections easily. Until now. Use Reflector to quickly enhance your scene with reflective surfaces. It's as easy as picking a surface (a floor, a wall, a ceiling) and applying the Reflector effect. One additional click will update your scene for reflections.Reflector will work with 3D text, pictures, and movies. Most effects in your scene will be reflected as well. Need a mirror? Use Reflector. Want to simulate a hard wood floor? Use ReflectorFalloff
There are many surfaces that don't fully reflect the items above it. For example, hardwood floors reflect, but only to a point. The further away from the floor an object is, the less it reflects. You can simulate such an effect with the Falloff parameters in Reflector. Set the Falloff Starting Point and Distance, then select the Falloff checkbox. Update your scene to see the effect. Vampires
There will occasions where you don't want every layer to show up in your reflective surface. Sometimes it's for a desired effect (like the Vampire image below). Other times it's because a layer just doesn't look right in the reflected area. The Hide 2D Layers parameter takes care of many distracting layers, but there may be 3D layers that need hiding has well. If you hide the parent of a bunch of layers, all of the children will be hidden as well. Tips and Tricks
Here are a few details that could help you understand how Reflector works. - The Reflector Comp - When you press the Update button, Reflector creates a duplicate of your Comp, modifies the duplicate, and adds it as the last layer in your Comp (hidden). Reflector uses (and requires) this Comp in order to calculate the reflection image. If the Reflector Comp is missing, you'll see a checkerboard. Click the Update button to regenerate the Reflector Comp.
- Update - Whenever your scene changes (you move a 3D layer, you add a light, you change the camera, etc.), you'll need to click the Update button again. Otherwise, the reflection may not match your scene. In other words, keep your Reflector Comp in sync with your main Comp by pressing the Update button. It's a good idea to do this before rendering your final scene.
- Reflecting Zaxwerks 3D - When you first apply Reflector, the Hide 2D Layers option is checked, so your Zaxwerks layers (Invigorator, ProAnimator, 3D Flag, 3D Layer/Grid Warp) may get hidden initially. Uncheck the Hide 2D Layers option and click the Update button to see the Zaxwerks layers reflected.
- Dense Floors - If the reflection doesn't look sharp, or it has jaggies, you may want to create a denser floor. For example, if you floor is 500x500 pixels at a scale of 100%, you can make it more dense by changing it to 2000x2000 with a scale of 25%. This keeps the floor the same size, but increases the number of pixels Reflector has to work with.
Limitations
While Reflector works with most of your existing scenes, there are a few caveats. - In order to calculate reflections, we create a duplicate Comp and move the camera. We do our best to keep the integrity of the scene, but this operation may cause the reflections to not look right if the camera is animated in a non-standard way. Note that keyframed cameras and cameras animated with expressions should work.
- Only After Effects 3D planes can be reflective. Make sure you apply Reflector to 3D planes (images, movies, solids, etc.).
- Most effects applied to your layers will show up in reflections, but some may not, or may not look right.
- Adjustment layers may or may not look correct.
- Due to how reflections are calculated, some reflections may not look perfectly lined up. Use the Adjust X/Y parameters to correct any alignment issues.
- Since we move the camera in the duplicated Comp, some undesired objects may show up in or block the reflection. Use Vampires to hide unnecessary or unwanted layers.
- You cannot have reflections of reflections, but you can have multiple reflected surfaces in a single Comp.
Limitations of Reflector with other Zaxwerks 3D products This section refers to Zaxwerks 3D plug-ins, including: - ProAnimator
- Invigorator PRO and Classic
- 3D Flag
- 3D Warps
Zaxwerks 3D plug-ins are usually applied to 2D AE planes. If you check the "Use Comp Camera" checkbox, the 3D image will integrate into your 3D AE scene. Therefore, you can use Zaxwerks 3D products with Reflector. However, be aware that since you apply the effects to 2D layers, you'll need to uncheck the Hide 2D Layers parameter. Use Vampires to hide other 2D layers. Also, note that Falloff doesn't work with Zaxwerks 3D products. This is due to how we calculate Falloff.

3D Serpentine 2 (for After Effects)
|
3D Serpentine brings big-time 3D effects to Motion Graphics and Video artists. Creating 3D noodles, also called path extrusions, is no longer difficult nor time consuming. Now you can do them live, right inside of Adobe After Effects. DESCRIPTION
Create 3D paths in After Effects and let Zaxwerks 3D Serpentine bring the paths to life! If you know how to make a 3D path in After Effects you can create fanciful 3D noodles with the 3D Serpentine plug-in. Create cool 3D effects like moving film strips, shooting stars, animated marquee signs, swirling tubes, winding helixes, twisting extruded text, arrow pointers and self-tying ribbons. 3D Serpentine Details Start by drawing a three-dimensional path in After Effects. 3D Serpentine will use the path as a guide and extrude a shape such as a circle, star or rectangle along this guide path to create a 3D noodle. As you edit the AE path the noodle changes shape to match. The position of the noodle can be animated along the path to create unwinding movie film, shooting stars and many other effects. It’s almost like drawing a 3D stroke along the path, but in this case instead of a simple stroke a real 3D object is created which responds to lighting and can be textured and color-mapped. Auto-Orient
Powerful Zaxwerks-only auto-orientation technology insures that the 3D objects look good at all points along the path and don’t suffer from the twists and distortions that most other 3D programs have. Cross Sections
For instant feedback, basic cross section shapes are included such as stars, rectangles lines and circles; but you can also use AE’s drawing tools to create any cross section you wish, even ones with multiple parts End Cap Control
End cap controls give you instant pointed, beveled, rounded or domed ends. Importing Custom Head and Tail Objects
Head and Tail objects can be imported from Zaxwerks ProAnimator or Invigorator, enabling you to use any 3D object as the beginning or end of the noodle. Materials and Lighting
Noodles can be colored by an image or movie. They can be rendered in solid, cartoon, wireframe and hidden line styles. Bump and reflection maps can be used to give the objects texture and brilliance. All 3D Serpentine objects respond to the After Effects camera and lighting.
