Path Object is improved with scaling controls for replication and tessellation for closed paths. No need to convert Nulls exported from 3D applications to point lights anymore. Null Objects have similar performance to point lights if you’re running the latest version of After Effects. It allows you to pre-comp Plexus layers and still have the flexibility to animate Camera movements. It reacts to Camera and lights of the native composition. OBJ Object now also imports normals and texture co-ordinates along with vertex positions and facets.Ĭollapse Transforms for a nested composition, and Plexus behaves like a native AE composition. You can now import OBJ files and file sequences using AE’s default file importer, which helps you organize footage better and collect project files. It helps composite Plexus in 3D scenes with ease. You can use a Depth Map exported by a 3D program or Buena Depth Cue to occlude pixels directly. Also, just in case you need to refresh cache, a new button that let’s you do that with a single click without affecting caches of other layers. You can have many nested instances and all the changes are automatically detected. That means better support for Persistent Caching, better performance and the best part, automagically refresh Instances. Plexus 3 was designed from the ground up to take advantage of AE’s new multi-threaded architecture introduced in 13.5. Not only it improves rendering performance, but also renders much more accurate colors. Beams no longer show any ‘overlapping joints’.
Render sweeping volumetric beams with seamless rendering. It works best with OBJ meshes and can be used very well along with the instance object. The Slicer Object let’s you ‘slice’ through a mesh and create interesting visualizations. You can also Echo the sampled waveform so that the sound is sampled over time. You can use either comp settings or custom camera shutter values.Ī new Sound Effector Object let’s you sample a waveform from a sound layer in AE and apply it to vertex position or scale or color. Now along with Depth of Field, you can add Motion Blur to create cinematic animations.
It helps you keep track of your Geometry Objects, Effector Objects, Render Objects and Groups by allowing you to select only what you need so no more scrolling through a long Effects Control Window.įinally. It improves workflow dramatically and the panel itself is dockable anywhere with in After Effects. Plexus 3 comes with a tree based Object Panel, that helps you organize multiple Plexus objects with in the layer.
