Stardust 1.5 for After Effects Overview

Stardust 1.5 for After Effects Free Download Overview
Now with Physical Dynamics Simulation! Stardust is a modular 3D particle system for After Effects. It has an easy to use node-based user interface and ships with a ton of presets to create stunning effects quickly and easily. Stardust’s already extensive 3D rendering capabilities have just been vastly expanded with the introduction of planar reflection, sub-surface scattering, emissive materials and more to our toolset, giving a lively and organic feel to your imagery.

Stardust animation engine has been augmented with new powerful tools, allowing for greater freedom in realizing your vision. “Connect” allows for physical particles to interact using constraints of various kinds, and “3D Model deform” offers tools to bring objects to life by bending and flexing space for creating tunnels or extruding and bending 3D text along a path and much more.

Features of Stardust 1.5 for After Effects

 * 3D Library – Nearly 200 textured 3D models loaded with a single click, parented to a controlling Null layer. The library is available for download from the Preset window.
 * Connect – connect physical particles to each other using various constraint types, for creating springs and Chains.
 * Planar reflection – Have object reflect off of planes.
 * Model Path Deform – Deform models in 3D space using masks or paths defined with AE lights.
 * Groups – Transform model parts by OBJ groups.
 * Subsurface scattering – Create organic lighting look for surfaces.
 * New Material options Refraction, Emissive, Adjust Environment and Reflection.
 * Model node as emitter source – Create emitter source with model node and apply deformers.
 * Speed – Up to 15% faster render.
 * Gloss / Roughness – Inverted for easier import PBR materials.
