I am so excited to release Real Lens Flares today. Ray-traced lens flares based on 3D models of real lenses! maxon.net/en/red-giant-c…
We’ve added two new amazing tools to Magic Bullet Looks: Optical Diffusion and the best film Halation emulation I’ve ever seen. And an all-new color management system with the beginnings of @AcademyACES support. maxon.net/en/red-giant-c…
This one’s simple: #MaxonOne now includes Zbrush. maxon.net/en/zbrush
Cinema 4D has new modeling tools, an all-new cloth simulation engine, and now includes @redshift3d CPU for all users. maxon.net/en/cinema-4d/f…
When you use Magic Bullet Looks as your ACES view transform, it’s easy to add a tasteful bloom with Optical Diffusion. The results completely transform a 3D render.
The new Halation tool in Looks is, well, probably overkill for such a subtle effect. But I’ve always wanted to do a truly accurate simulation of this beloved film artifact.
Optical Diffusion is based on our Optical Glow engine and comes with over 50 presets based on real lens filters that we photographed and profiled.
Real Lens Flares has been a dream of mine for years, and we’re just getting started with what’s possible with this new engine.
I literally cannot stop playing with Real Lens Flares.
(This is my job.)
More toys on sticks unreasonably transformed by Real Lens Flares.
I’m equally excited by the #C4D releases today. @redshift3d CPU allows us to standardize around Redshift everywhere in #MaxonOne, which will make everything easier.
For more on the new #C4D modeling and simulation additions, check out @ricknroll’s round up of demos:
Meanwhile I’ll be here doing ridiculous things with Real Lens Flares.
Magic Bullet also does some heavy lifting here to turn a handful of flat layers in @AdobeAE into a “spinner,” before even adding the flares. Two passes of Optical Diffusion, plus Halation, all rendering in @AcademyACES for lovely color blending and highlight handling.
I’m not even mad that @tvaziri tricked me into whitewashing this fence. This gave me some ideas for new features in Real Lens Flares.
In case those 2.5D Mini Coopers look familiar...
Anyway, if you missed it, here’s everything @MaxonVFX announced this week.
