| finalFlares, the long-awaited successor to RealLensFlare II, is now available as a plug-in for 3ds Max. Finally, one of the best and most powerful F/X packages for 3ds Max becomes available to every 3D artist for a very affordable price. The finalFlares effects engine has already been used many major motion pictures and game titles today, including Star Trek Nemesis, Lethal Weapon, Lost in Space, Schuh des Manitu, Command and Conquer, StarCraft and Diablo II, among many others. The plug-in offers the most sophisticated flare generation technology available under 3ds Max, and as a true atmospheric effect, it finally solves a long lasting problem - lens flares can finally be seen in and behind refracting or reflecting objects. No more hacking around and compositing tricks - transparent materials will respect the flares immediately, so creating these kinds of effects can be done with a few simple mouse clicks. Moreover, as your objects move throughout your scenes, the flares will deform correctly in the direction of motion, so that they appear as they would if filmed live. With photorealism and accuracy in mind, flares can fade according to their position as they move behind other objects, and can also be affected by translucent materials to tint them as they pass through them. Flares even appear correctly in fog! And the fun doesn't stop there. You can create particle flares using a special Particle Flow operator or the new ACAP technology ThinkingParticles 2, for even more control. Beyond flares, this finalFlares plug-in suite provides you impressive glows and highlights that can be used to create everything from subtle blooming on metallic surfaces to full on plantetary auras and shimmering effects over your objects. Glows can be controlled down to the material level or placed solely on the edges of selected objects to achieve beautiful results. Don't wait another moment - get finalFlares today!
