Image Post Processor Effects

• Blur
  • Blurs the screen to simulate Motion Blur.
• Depth of Field
  • Simulates photographic depth of field.
• Filter
  • Changes the color of all pixels after the rendering is complete.
• Lens Flare
  • Simulates the effects of lights flaring in the lens of a camera
• Fog
  • Simulates fog and haze.
• Glow
  • Adds a glow to any pixels with a key color.
• Halo
  • Adds a halo around lights.
• Hilite
  • Adds a hilite for lights.
• Lasers
  • Simulates the appearance of a laser beam.
• Starfield
  • Generates a scrolling starfield.
• Stars
  • Creates the effect of a starfield in an animation.
• SuperNova
  • Simulates the effect of a star going supernova.
• Trails
  • Leaves a trail behind for all models that move in a animation.
• Video
  • Offers 24 different video effects.
• Xvideo
  • Offers 26 additional different video effects.

There are also two special image processors.

• Fireballs
  • This plugin XFX image processor adds the capability to generate fractal fireballs and explosions. This is an animated XFX image processor and its appearance changes over a range of frames. Therefore, although it can be added as a global effect, it is best used as an Image Effects (F/X) object (Actor).
• Atmospherics
  • Allows you to create atmospheric effects such as volumetric lighting, shadowing and fog using a number of configuration options.

 Animation Physical Effects

• Build Effect
  • Builds a model towards the camera over a range of frames.
• Buildto Effect
  • Builds a model face by face from thin air and builds it towards the camera.
• Dissolve Effect
  • Makes a model become transparent gradually, until it disappears.
• Explode Effect
  • As you might expect, makes a model explode! You can set the center of the detonation, decide whether the pieces should fall under gravity or not, whether they should tumble, and more.
• Fall Effect
  • Makes a model fall down under the force of gravity. The bouncing behavior and elasticity are fully adjustable.
• Flap Effect
  • A simultaneous combination of the Wave and Modulate effects.
• Modulate Effect
  • Passes a wave through the specified axis of the model and moves the vertices radially outward.
• Shake Effect
  • Makes the model shake from its bottom to its top.
• Spring Effect
  • Makes an actor with a costume compress inward upon itself and then fling off at high speed.
• Squash Effect
  • Compresses or expands an actor's costume in a specified direction. Unlike a simple scaling motion, the Squash effect causes the model to bulge outward, like a rubber ball.
• Twist Effect
  • Twists or untwists an actor's costume around the specified axis.
• Unbuild Effect
  • Takes the model apart face-by-face until nothing remains.
• Warp Effect
  • Makes a model warp out of view or into view.
• Wave Effect
  • Makes a model undulate under the force of a wave.

 Utility Plugins

These plugins include operations such as decimation, triangulation and subdivision. Documentation for them is not available at the moment, but watch this space!
