Flair brings 8 high quality effects to Adobe After Effects and Photoshop compatible programs. Among them shine, glow and sparkle effects. Of course with 16bit and multi CPU support.
Amiga Rulez
This effect is an old demo coders effect which has been used plenty in Amiga demos and was also simply called Zoom Rotator. I saw it first in an Amiga 500 demo by Sanity where it's coder Chaos did an incredible job making it realtime in fullscreen. The image shown was just a text saying 'Amiga Rulez' because the demo entered a competition held by Commodore at the World of Amiga 92. Later many extensions to this effect have been made such as making it rotate around 3 axis instead of only one like the original effect.
Box Blur
This is a sub pixel accurate Box Blur. It includes an aberrative mode which splits colors as can be seen in the example image. Included is the option to operate the filter with a mask that determines blur on a per pixel base.
Glass Sphere
A shiny glass sphere with lots of options to adjust material, lighting and refraction.
Mosaic Plane
This is an extension of the well known mosaic effect. The mosaic is applied to a virtual plane which can be freely rotated and positioned. Operate it with a mask to alter rotations or size on a per pixel base.
Glow
The Glow Plugin provides 4 different algorithms to generate fast beautiful glows from a existing footage. All methods work with sub pixel accuracy so there is no popping effect when animating the radius unlike with other glow effects. It's possible to determine which areas are to glow in what intensity. There are various parameters to adjust the effect to your needs including color adjustment, gamma correction, aspect, aspect angle and several blend modes.
Highlight
Generates sparkling light streaks from existing footage. Offers the possibility to determine the sparkling areas and their intensities. There are various Parameters to adjust the effect to your needs. Including radius, intensity, color adjustment, gamma correction, streak count, and blend mode. Again this effect is sub pixel accurate for animations.
Radial Blur
This is a fast high quality radial blur. It features a 'aberrative' mode which splits colors. This mode roughly simulates the effect of a camera lens aberrating the incoming light into their spectral components (like in a prism). This effect can be observed at bad cameras and special lenses. Decent usage can add some realism to cg renders.
Volumetrics
This one lets you create blazing fast impressive light effects. Volumetrics simulates light passing through your footage. It's possible to determine a per pixel transparency for the light. Two different algorithms are available which basically give the same results but differ in smoothness of the casted light. Though the effect looks very much like true volumetric light it's actually a 2d effect.
Fresh Curves
Curves are a very versatile and precise color correction tool. The native After Effects version lacks control and accuracy to take full advantage of it. Fresh Curves makes up for these drawbacks so you can get the most out of this basic tool.
More channels
Fresh Curves has brightness, saturation and hue channels for more direct control on top of the usual RGBA.
Relative Curves
Now it's possible to adjust on attributes based on another. Relative Curves also has a built-in preblur and a postblur curve.
Bezier cubic splines
with tangent handles for more curve control. Interpolation modes similar to the ones in the AE graph editor round things off.
Invert Curves
Using invert you can work in your own color space. Apply your custom "gamma curve", do the work and apply and the inverted one.
Histogramm
The integrated histograms helps you find and modify desired areas and gives feedback to your changes.
Interface
Tired of that old, tiny interface? Here is a big, nice resizeable one.
Zoom tools
will come in handy for those out of range float colors or when fiddeling with details.
Edit and sample
Need to be precise? Just edit or sample your values. And change the color range to what you are comfortable with.
Lenscare
Lenscare moves depth of field and out of focus generation to post production. If you need high quality camera blurs with the flexibility of 2d post processing, Lenscare is a great choice. It can get you rid of long extra 3d rendering times. The key aspect during the development of these filters was to match the real thing as good as possible. Lenscare is available as plugins for Adobe After Effects and Photoshop compatible programs.
- Lenscare updated to v1.48 to support new releases of After Effects CC.
Requirements: Adobe After Effects through AE CC release installed.
