Use this software to easily generate lifelike settings and surround them with sphere maps, panoramas, or video within After Effects.
If you're looking for a unique mapping tool for your compositions, then Trapcode Horizon plug-in is a great option. It is a camera-aware image mapping tool that connects your After Effects camera to a 3D world. With Horizon, you can apply images or gradients to the inside of a giant sphere, creating an infinite background that looks photorealistic. The simple controls make it easy for you to achieve the desired effect, no matter where your camera is directed.
One of the most exciting features of Trapcode Horizon is that it creates virtual reality backgrounds that are the only plug-in that creates QuickTime VR-like experiences inside After Effects. You can now recreate the animations you see on the web for parks, monuments, and real estate right inside After Effects with full control over 3D motion.
Horizon offers gradient or image map modes, each providing unique ways to provide interesting backgrounds. Gradient mode offers both point and line generation. Point mode generates smoothly blended color regions from up to 8 points on the virtual sphere, while line mode creates converging lines of colors that are perfect for generating a sky gradient.
The plug-in works seamlessly with the After Effects 3D camera, so that the background image is always correctly drawn from the active camera's field of view. All the 3D effects like Trapcode Particular and Form will move correctly with the background, providing the viewer with a much-needed orientation in 3D space.
In conclusion, Trapcode Horizon is a great tool for anyone looking to take their compositions to the next level. With the ability to create stunning virtual reality backgrounds, unique image mapping modes, and integration with After Effects 3D camera, Horizon is a powerful plug-in for all users.
