Description
This package includes Conoa 3D, Conoa EasyShapes, EasyFX and Conoa 3D Layer. It is for users who want the multiple intersecting shapes of Conoa 3D, and the warpage of 'Conoa CylinderWarp and the ease and flexibility of Conoa Cube.
Conoa EasyShapes
Adobe AE-compatible plug-in set with three plug-ins that map video to spheres, cubes and cylinders. Conoa Cube also allows independent video to be mapped to any side, with explosion and implosion.
The new Conoa CylinderWarp plug-in allows wrapping, unwrapping and flexing the cylinder, providing a warpage capability not normally found in cylinder plug-ins, including the cylinder shape of Conoa 3D!
Conoa EasyShapes offers the following unique features:
- Inexpensive
- Easy-to-use sphere, cube and cylinder
- Same camera, material and lighting models as Conoa 3D
- Ability to place camera inside the sphere, cube or cylinder
- Sides of cube can intersect
- Sides of cube can cast shadows onto each other
- Cylinder can wrap and unwrap
- Sphere can wrap and unwrap
- Cylinder can flex into a ring shape
Contains a full 3D camera, lighting and material model. Conoa plug-ins currently work with the following hosts: Adobe Adobe After Effects 4.1 through 6.5, Apple Final Cut Pro 3.0 through 4.5, Discreet Combustion 3.0 and Avid AVX systems (including Xpress DV, Xpress Pro and Symphony) through the use of Elastic Gasket from Profound Effects. Users have also successfully used Conoa plug-ins in Eyeon Software's Digital Fusion and Boris Red, but these are not officially supported hosts.
Conoa 3D While After Effects 5 introduced the lighting and compositing of 3D planes, Conoa ads some more basic 3D functionality, such as the ability to work with spheres, cubes, and 10 other primitives. And unlike the 3D in After Effects, the objects in Conoa use reflection maps and reflect off each other in addition to intersecting and casting soft shadows.
Conoa is really a 3D ray-tracer in a plug-in that gets applied to a layer. Using a standard plug-in interface, several primitives can be added to the scene and textured using other layers in the project. Conoa recognizes the positions of AE cameras and lights, making it easy to mix Conoa elements with AE layers ina 3D animation. While Conoa may be far from a whole 3D program, it lets users perform more simple 3D tasks inside After Effects than is otherwise available in 3D compositing.
Conoa 3D offers the following unique features:
- 12 different 3D geometric primitives with true 3D (no polygonalization)
- A true raytracing renderer
- 2 material models with ambient, diffuse and specular lighting.
- Reflection
- Tranparency, with a variable index of refraction
- Texture mapping onto any primitive
- Shadows may be cast from any primitive to any other
- Soft shadow effects with area light sources
- Wireframe previews
- Bump mapping
- Environment mapping
- True 3D camera model
Conoa EasyFX Conoa EasyFX features 5 plug-ins for video effects: Conoa EFX Alphafy, Conoa EFX Globs, Conoa EFX Toon, Conoa EFX Smoother and Conoa EFX Tinter.
Conoa plug-ins currently work with the following hosts: Adobe Adobe After Effects 4.1 through 6.5, Apple Final Cut Pro 3.0 through 4.5, Discreet Combustion 3.0 and Avid AVX systems (including Xpress DV, Xpress Pro and Symphony) through the use of Elastic Gasket from Profound Effects. Users have also successfully used Conoa plug-ins in Eyeon Software's Digital Fusion and Boris Red, but these are not officially supported hosts.
Conoa 3D LayerCreates a three-dimensional layer with visible 'thickness' in After Effects, plus your 3D mesh can be bent, warped, punched through, texture mapped, and animated.
