This software replicates the appearance of visible light in dark or foggy settings.
Lux is a powerful plug-in that allows users to create highly realistic visible light sources for a variety of applications, including spotlights, flashlights, headlights, and stage lighting. While After Effects' 3D lighting feature generates pools of light in 3D space, it doesn't display the light or cone itself. This is where Trapcode Lux comes in, providing volumetric lighting effects for a wide range of projects requiring realistic lighting.
Lux stands out for its ease of use; simply add a layer, apply the plug-in, and experience the enhanced atmosphere, ambiance, and drama. Lux automatically creates visible sources for all point and spot lights in the scene, and users can also choose to have Lux only applied to lights by name for simpler scene management.
The software also offers a variety of sophisticated controls, allowing users to specify the look of the light beam, falloff, intensity, and behavior, as well as how far it travels in the AE 3D scene. Users can set the lighting style from natural to intense with multiple controls that work in tandem.
Lux is fully integrated with AE Light layers, and its lights are based on the building light layers. This means that as users move a light in a 3D scene, the plug-in automatically updates its position in 3D space. The integrated alpha channel output lets users extend or enhance the visible area to add smoke or dust for an even more immersive Lux effect.
Overall, Lux is a powerful and intuitive plug-in that simplifies complex lighting tasks in AE, making it an essential tool for anyone needing realistic visual lighting effects.
